Do You Have a Favourite Quote/Saying?

Hello

I would be interested to know if you have a favourite quote or two, mine is "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"

Not really a favorite quote but my father sometimes says "from what you hear, believe nothing; and from what you see, only believe half of it".

"Mighty oaks from little acorns grow"

"Always look on the bright side of life" - Monty Python.

@johnd13: Your dad sounds like a wise man, nice..

Thank you all for sharing, there are some good ones here.

My mum used to say "If you don't have anything nice to say to anyone, keep it to yourself". I bear this in mind frequently as the filter between my brain and mouth seems to be broken..!!

"If you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree, you'll find it lacking."

I'm probably not getting it 100% accurate, but you get the gist of it; everyone isn't good at everything, so don't be a judgmental dick.

"If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten." - George Carlin

Nihilist Arby's tweets they are all bangers.

@Peasly:

"Time and time again does the pride of man influence his very own fall. While denying it, one gradually starts to believe that he is the authority, or that he possesses great moral dominion over others, yet it is spiritually unwarranted. By that point he loses steam; in result, he falsely begins trying to prove that unwarranted dominion by seizing the role of a condemner."

- Criss Jami - author of Killosophy

I like to occasionally call people, "Nuckin' Futs"

Various, too lazy to note who’s to credit:

”Youth is wasted on the young”

”People are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal, and if they are equal, they are not free”

”There’s nothing more exhilarating than to be shot at without result“

”If you’re going through hell….keep going“

Ah, last two are Churchill. Quote machine.

Wow, thank you. Here are a some of my fav's from Voltaire:

• “‎Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.”
• “The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing.”
• “Common sense is not so common.”
• “Dare to think for yourself.”
• “Now, now my good man, this is no time to be making enemies." (Voltaire on his deathbed in response to a priest asking him that he renounce Satan.)”
• “Doubt is an uncomfortable condition, but certainty is a ridiculous one.”
• “Our wretched species is so made that those who walk on the well-trodden path always throw stones at those who are showing a new road.”

Actually I like most of his..!!

@Peasly: Good stuff. Gonna have to read some more.

“The harder I work the luckier I get” not too sure who originally came up with that but I believe it was a movie director or producer from some time ago.
