My favorite quote of all time is:

You can do ANYTHING if you have the right tools!

And I like the ones in my signature as well. smile


I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

I collect and use quotes often.

I suppose one of my favorites is: "No one on their deathbed ever said 'if only I had spent more time in the office'".

A few others that are high on my list:
- "Who is John Galt?"
- "What we got here is failure to communicate."
- "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. "Hit it!",
- "Go ahead, make my day."
- "Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."

Not exactly a famous quote, but I've remembered this for years actually from a bumper sticker I saw.

Yes, I have a drinking problem, two hands and only one mouth!

I like...It could be worse, it could be raining.(from Young Frankenstein as they are grave robbing)(I use that one alot)
Also..What hump?

Also like several from Monty Python...Oh, uh, well if we build a badger...

How about...Fat and stupid is no way to go through life son.(Animal House)

Blues Bros has too many to even try to list. I do like the one posted above as well.
Might have to rent that one for Christmas instead of the forty yr old virgin this year.

Here's some of my favorites. Some of them I may have snagged from here. :-)

"Today is a good day to die!" Lieutenant. Worf

"An ignorant man thinks he knows everything, a wise man knows he doesn't."

LIFE IS TOUGH.....TOUGHER IF YOU'RE STUPID.
John Wayne

Tact is for those without enough wit for sarcasm.

I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem!

This is what my wife actually said to me--

"I thought I married a sophisticated business man, but what I actually got was a redneck fisherman with muscle cars."

And I'm still married.

My grandmother had one; "use your head for something besides a hat rack."

She also had one; "Me and my brother know everything. Ask me any question."
