"Geez you guys! Do you think wood grows on trees?"
- A high school woodworking teacher who'd go off at an unfortunate student who asks for another piece of timber to fix up yet another mistake.
You can take a lady into the garden, but you can't lead a horticulture
Diplomacy is only important if the other party has the upper hand..
The man's a natural leader - people will follow him simply from a morbid curiosity as to what he may do next.

At an interview I was conducting for sessional workers to supervise villains 'I have a simple philosophy with these people, you play ball with me and I don't whack the bat up your asre'.
"Looking back in retrospect". LBJ
William Shakespeare (Hamlet): Brevity is the soul of wit.
Dorothy Parker: Brevity is the soul of lingerie.
(re the American measurements thread)
George Bernard Shaw: England and America are two nations separated by a common language.

LBJ of Gerald Ford:-
"That boy couldn't sheet and chew gum at the same time."
"He played too much football without a helmet."
J.F. Kennedy: Ich bin ein Berliner. (I am a jelly donut. :rolleyes: )
Getting an education means becoming conscious of what we do not know....
Sorry,

Must have been a moment of madness!

And a Toast from my college days
"Here's to it those who do it
May they get to it to do it again." :D:D

"Here's to it to those who don't do it
May they get to it to do it" ;);)
Rules are for the guidance of wise men and the obedience of fools.

I'd love to know who coined this gem
Said to me by a parent of a child in my class: " he was told last year that he could not remember anything.... and he's never forgotten that."
It was Douglas Bader (Wikipedia and Google are your friends!)Quote:

The fool wonders, the wise man asks.- Benjamin Disraeli
Here is a personal favourite.
A very senior hot and sweaty Marine stomps into the Officers Mess in Darwin during an exercise. As he approaches the bar he says quite loudly "this place is the a**ehole of the earth".
The youngest amd most junior officer in the bar turns around on his stool and says "Just passing through then sir?"
Another toast:
To our wives and sweethearts (or girlfriends); may they never meet.

One man's fish is another man's poisson.

Douglas Bader eh? Would you believe that he is genuinely one of my heros? Makes me love the quote even more. Thanks for that (and Driver who also gave the correct reference)Quote:

Michael Holding (I think) when asked about west indian fast bowlers a couple of years ago when commentating for channel 9.
"We don't have any fast bowlers, we only haev bowlers with a long run up"
Douglas Bader ..... wow now I think a more inspirational man never lived!
I am a big fan myself.

My Dad loves the 'blind man' quote. He's also on record with ...
"when my father first heard that, the tears rolled down his bib"
(in reference to old jokes)
Richard
One of the aussie batsmen during the Holding era (heard about a year ago during an interview but I can't remember who it was).
The line went something like this:
The umpire asked me where I wanted the sight screen. I said, 'anywhere between me and him'.

If I were you, I'd prefer to keep my mouth closed and be thought of as a fool rather than open it and prove it.
He/She has a mouth like a 24 hour cafe.
talk is not cheap it's free!!!!
give it away freely
Opinions are like asreholes - everyone has one.
It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
Love thy neighbor as thyself, but choose your neighborhood.
Bigot: One who is obstinately and zealously attached to an opinion that you do not entertain.
Egoist: A person of low taste, more interested in themselves than in me.
I either want less corruption, or more chance to participate in it.
