Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
Work is the curse of the drinking classes.
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
(Alleged final words) Either that wallpaper goes or I do.
Wilde
We shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France and on the seas and oceans; we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be; we shall fight on beaches, landing grounds, in fields, in streets and on the hills. We shall never surrender
Churchill
Take care of the luxuries and the necessities will take care of themselves.
Dorothy Parker
And also all her catty remarks such as - You can lead a horticulture but you cant make her think - this is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly, it should be thrown with great force - she speaks eight languages and cant say "no" in any of them etc etc

My favourite would have to be:
"Well s**t."
As in:
"The DoW dropped 400 points today"
"Well sh*t."
or:
"I'm pregnant"
"I'm going to run out and grab a pack of cigarettes"
"Well s**t."

If you love something, set it free...
If it comes back, it's yours forever...
If it doesn't, it never was.

"(..)I do know that it's important for us to support the Iraqi people, who have shown incredible courage in their desire to live in a free society. And if we ever give up the desire to help people who live in freedom, we will have lost our soul as a nation, as far as I'm concerned."

Abraham Lincoln
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
Albert Einstein
"Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life. The longing for love. The search for knowledge, and unbelievable pity for the suffering of mankind."
Bertrand Russell
"Well ya see, Norm, its like this A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. Thats why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

"What is history but a fable agreed upon?"
Napoleon Bonaparte
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena: whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood: who strives valiantly: who errs and comes short again and again: who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in worthy cause: who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievements: and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt
"Good judgement only comes from experience and experience only comes from bad judgement."

"Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please."

"I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington. He could not lie; I can, but I won't."
"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education."
