I used to keep a whole list of quotes that I liked, so I might send more later, but the first one never leaves me, and the second, though a recent discovery, smacks of truth to me more than most.

I like that one too, and have an email tagline with it

My favorite quotes is:

Et tu, Brute (You also, Brutus)-Julius Ceasar
I came, I saw, I conquered.-Julius Ceasar
Everybody Lies!-House M.D.

I've got lots of favorite quotes. Here's a few-

"Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try." - Yoda, Jedi Master

"It's not the years- it's the mileage."- Indiana Jones

"I wish my lawn were emo so it would cut itself."- unknown

"We were young and stupid then. Now we're just stupid."

And of course, some of my all time favorites are already in my signature.

"You can do anything you want to do if you put your mind to it."- MacGyver

"I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man comes to the Father but by Me."- Jesus Christ (John 14:6)

"But God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)

"If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9)

(I could keep quoting from The Bible but I might as well just list every single verse because they're all awesome! )

- But here's some of the most hilarious verses I've ever read-

"Though they have officials in Zoan and their envoys have arrived in Hanes,"
(Isaiah 30:4) (Had no idea that underwear brand had been around so long! )

and this one-

"Designate a place outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourself. As part of your equipment have something to dig with, and when you relieve yourself, dig a hole and cover up your excrement. For the LORD your God moves about in your camp to protect you and to deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, so that he will not see among you anything indecent and turn away from you." (Deuteronomy 23:12-14)

(I understand why it's there and why God had to explain so many basic cleanliness things for the Israelites that's common to us today- but it's still really funny to read it in The Bible!)

That's actually Edna St. Vincent Millay, rather than Roald Dahl. And the third line is swapped around:

My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends –
It gives a lovely light.

Here's a good addition to that:

My favorite quotes are many. I like,

"Give me constancy and give me chastity, but do not give them yet." St. Augustine

"Man who waits for roast duck to fly into mouth, waits long time."

Aragorn's speech in LOTR ROTK.

I have a list somewhere, will add some more later.

Hmm... I have many as well. Here are a few.

"What a lot of people think they want will not ultimately make them happier. If money is the goal, you will end up as desperately unhappy as everyone else." Anderson Cooper, journalist

"A ship in the harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for."

Several from Martin Luther King, Jr.:

"Unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final say in reality. That is why right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil triumphant."

"I must be true to my conviction that I share with all men the calling to be a son of the living God. ...because I believe the Father is deeply concerned especially for his suffering and helpless and outcast children...
"This I believe to be the privilege and the burden of all of us who deem ourselves bound by allegiences and loyalties which are broader and deeper than nationalism and which go beyond our nation's self-defined goals and positions. We are called to speak for the weak, for the voiceless, for victims of our nation and for those it calls enemy, for no document from human hands can make these humans any less our brothers."

"It is no longer a choice, my friends, between violence and nonviolence. It is either nonviolence or nonexistence..."

I'll have to think awhile before I can come up with more.
