"I have always looked on disobedience toward the oppressive as the only way to use the miracle of having been born"
Oriana Fallaci

 

"By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, journalism keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community."

(And chat rooms.) :mellow:

For example:

"I've said it before and I'll say it again, REAL terrorism is the liberal influence so proudly displayed by some real scum sucking maggots on here. Maggots that must be stepped on and pulverized into a milky paste, or sprayed with RAID and BURNED along with the rotting, infected, corpses they inhabit."

Congratulations, MS. You have now made it to my ignore list by committing the unpardonable sins of being both boring and stupid. After all, "stupidity is the only sin". Did I mention vulgar?

 

"Wilderness teaches a person the answers to questions we have not yet learned how to ask"

"A gram of prevention is worth three kilograms of cure"

"The mountains will be there tomorrow, make sure you can say the same"

"Least cost, end use, not least cost first use" (think and act long-term)

"Only those who attempt the ridiculous accomplish the impossible"

 

"Maximum entropy is the most disordered state, in which the least amount of energy is available for useful work."

(For example, see "Canada's labor union is anti-semetic and proud of it" thread.)

"Water always seeks the lowest level"
(Like political and religious chat room discussions)

 

He says peaceful liberal is an oxymoron while spewing this trash.

 

"It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious."

"All repetition is anti-spiritual."

"Public opinion exists only where there are no ideas."

Oscar Wilde

 

One of my favorite Buffett songs to live by is, "It's the smell of the low tide, the smell of the rain, Travelin' alone on my boat and my plane, Take it all in it's as big as it seems, Count all your blessings, Remember your dreams."(Jimmy Dreams)

In fact there are so many good Buffett words to live by!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

" I did not have sexual relations with the woman"

 

"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."
George W. Bush

 

"Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel"

Samuel Johnson

 

When tempted to lash out at an inconsiderate act, I remind myself:
"Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by stupidity."

"Everything should be as simple as possible, BUT NO SIMPLER!" (attributed to Albert Einstein)

The law of conservation of intelligence:
"The sum total of intelligence in the universe is a constant, but the population is increasing."
- or to put it another way -
"For every pile, there has to be a hole somewhere."

And, from my father, who grew up in the wilds of upstate Maine...
"You can wish in one hand and sh*t in the other. Guess which one fills up first."

"Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes." (Henry David Thoreau)

"Bullshit" (Company motto of Klipsch and Associates in response to most published claims from competitors for their hi-fi speakers. Paul Klipsch, the company president, used to walk around handing out yellow buttons with this motto emblazoned on them in old english script. I still have mine. He always wore one under the lapel of his suit and would flip it out when anyone was handing him a load.)
