Great "Quotes"

[TMS951]

So may of us have great quotes in sigs, or sometimes use them in responses.

Doing a search I did not find a thread of just quotes. I thought it would be a good place for some like minded individuals so share some like minded quotes.

I'll kick it off with a few Thomas Jefferson quotes:

“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”

“What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?”

“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.”

“The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits.”



and one Winston Churchill:

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel or envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

[Crow Hunter]

"If all our misfortunes were laid in one common heap whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would be content to take their own and depart." -Socrates

"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect." - Mark Twain

"Data is real, interpretation of data is reality." - Brian Newbill

[Caeser25]

"The reason they call it the American Dream, is that you have to be asleep to believe it." George Carlin.

I think my sig is pretty appropriate for the times.

[Zane1844]

"This tree stands lonely here in the mountains; it grew high above man and beast. And if it wanted to speak it would have nobody who could understand it, so high has it grown. Now it waits and waits- for what is it waiting? It dwells too near the seat of the clouds: surely, it waits for the first lightning."-Friedrich Nietzsche

[sandman99and9]

physics are great, light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until they begin to speak.


I don't remember where I saw that one.
