Re: weird and wonderful quotes
The only thing more important than not being a slave to money is having enough money so as not to be a slave to poverty
to the rich poverty is having to go without wants, to the poor poverty is having to go without necessities
the five necessities of life... Food... Shelter... Wine... Women... and song... clothes are optional and children happen when they happen.
Stress... this is the minds ability to override the bodies desire to choke the living shit out of some a..hole who absolutely deserves it
The only difference between a woman spring cleaning and a tornado... is that the tornado is likely to leave survivors.
It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job: it's a depression when you lose yours.
-- Harry S. Truman
We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up.
-- Phyllis Diller
My ancestors wandered lost in the wilderness for 40 years because even in biblical times, men would not stop to ask for directions.
-- Elayne Boosler
Men can read maps better than women. Cause only the male mind could conceive of one inch equalling a hundred miles.
-- Roseanne Barr

Our remote ancestors said to their mother Earth, "We are yours."
Modern humanity has said to Nature, "You are mine."
The Green Man has returned as the living face of the whole earth so that through his mouth we may say to the universe, "We are one."

'the intuitive mind is sacred gift and the rational mind a faithful servant... we have created a mind that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift' albert einstein
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, covered in scars, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'yahoo!', what a ride.'
Only after the last tree has been cut down, Only after the last river has been poisoned, Only after the last fish has been caught,Only then will you realise that money cannot be eaten
not so weird but for me definatly wonderful

Displayed on a sign at one of the protest sites for the Newbury Bypass:
"Let it not be said,
and said unto your shame,
That there was beauty here,
before you came".
Sniff.

Re: weird and wonderful quotes
I always enjoy my signature. And just about anything by Douglas Adams or Robert Heinlein.
He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which.
Douglas Adams
There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
Douglas Adams
Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
Douglas Adams
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."
— Robert A. Heinlein
"Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it."

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

Re: weird and wonderful quotes
Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make them all yourself.
Experience is what you get just after you needed it the most.
Some people's purpose in life is to serve as a lesson for others.

I don't know who originally said this, but a friend gave me this one:
I am not put on this Earth to satisfy your expectations and you were not put here to satisfy mine. You are you and I am me.

No I won't use a smiley because I've decided to turn into Boboff, as he's turned all nice all of a sudden. Grumble grumble.

There's no such thing as the wrong weather, only the wrong clothes.
Why should I learn Algebra, I never intend going there.

And another t-shirt quote
To save time, assume I know everything.
