Todays quote

[Whitestar4016]

Yeah using Vimes name was a give away, but there was no proper way to show the quote without using his name. If you "rewrite" it its no longer a "good" quote. But thats just my feelings on it.

Heh, Good quote Basara, I always like Samuel Clemens quotes.

 

[Whitestar4016]

Shoot almost forgot to leave a quote.

"A toothache, or a violent passion, is not necessarily diminished by our
knowledge of its causes, its character, its importance or insignificance."
T. S. Eliot

Today a sort of gamers reference quote.
Enjoy and Live well


"Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of
evil... prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed
to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon..."

Terry Pratchett

"Then what are you saying?"
"I'm not saying what I'm saying. I'm not saying what I'm thinking. As a matter
of fact, I'm not thinking what I'm thinking. There's only one thing in my mind
right now."
"What's that?"
"I need a drink."

-- Dr.Franklin and Sheridan in Babylon 5:"A Race Through Dark Places"

Heh, I go to pawn shops to get DVD sets of shows I like. Just be sure you know price of *new* before hand, and don't forget to bargain.

Heres a quote from a show I really enjoyed.
With googling, can you guess which one. (if you've seen it, its a dead giveaway.)

"I'm going to give you all a nice, fun, normal evening, if I have to kill every single person on the face of the earth to do it"

From Airplane "It's a large building with patients, but don't call me Shirley"

[Whitestar4016]

Been awhile so heres a new quote for ya....

"There is no love untouched by hate
No unity without discord
There is no courage without fear
There is no peace without a war
There is no wisdom without regret
No admiration without scorn
There is strife within the tempest
But there is calm in the eye of the storm"

 

[Dark Angel XXXX]

If you feel "dog tired" at night,
maybe it's because you "growled" all day.

 

[Whitestar4016]

Ok heres my favorite dog quote.

"Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea."

Robert A. Heinlein

For the Troops, Thank you


"So bury fear, for fate draws near
And hide the signs of pain
With noble acts, the bravest souls
Endure the heart's remains
Discard regret, that in this debt
A better world is made
That children of a newer day might remember
And avoid our fate"

---Winterborn

Captain Tagonaranoid people are harder to kill than regular people.

Kevyn:Oh, I don't know about that. You can just wait until they're checking
under their bed for assassins, and then jump out of the closet and shoot them.

"We really shook the pillars of heaven - didn't we, Wang?"

 

[Whitestar4016]

Heres one, can you guess from who?

"Let all swamp creatures that run with you Skinner, keep one thing in mind, I have been in darker places, and I have felt nastier things, than the taste of the chewing tobacca you keep in your mouth!"

For memorial day weekend.

“dulce et decorum est pro patria mori”



is from a Lyrical poem by the Roman poet Horace and it means
“It is sweet and fitting to die for one’s country.”


Then there are the very rare few who make the commitment to honor our servicemen and women 24 hours a day, seven days a week by wearing that commitment on their very skin: enter Kasey Greene.

Bless our troops

Thank you for all you are doing and come home safe and very very soon.....

 

[Whitestar4016]

For our Troops and your many sacrifices both acknowledged and unacknowledged. Walk in the light.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded
state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is
much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight,
nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable
creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the
exertions of better men than himself.
--John Stewart Mill--
