You don't stop playing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop playing.

"And this, too, shall pass away."

Surely, one of the knowledgeable people of these boards knows of this little quote and from whence it supposedly came?

"G'Quan wrote: 'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future, or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

- G'Kar, Babylon 5

When you run with the big dogs you better learn to piss high on the hydrant. Because I am the biggest dog here and if you get on my bad side your going to get wet.

President Calvin Coolidge had a reputation of being a somewhat somber personality. There was a story of a woman who came up to him at a party and said she had bet her friend that she could get him to say more than two words. Replied Coolidge, "You lose."

People who live in glass houses shouldnt walk around naked, especially if they are fat and ugly.

I dont remember where I heard that one, but I thought it was funny.

I forget who said it, but:

Paul's letter to the Corinthians. (The ones who make the nice leather) Although I believe it would be a paraphrase if the case. Otherwise I believe Abraham Lincoln told a story of an achient King who had that inscribed somewhere important.

I also know there is a poem of that title, "L name" Smith.

My favorite work related quotes (authors unknown):

"I pretend to work. They pretend to pay me"

"Everyone brings joy to this office. Some when they enter and others when they leave"

Fred Mitchell looked back on his hard life (in his 80s in 1967) and was commenting on how rough his life had been. All work, no playing, The he paused for a moment and said the following,

"The singing. There was such a lot of singing in the villages then, and this was my pleasure. Boys sang in the fields, and at night we all met at the Forge and sang. The chapels were full of singing. When the first war came, it was singing, singing all the time. So I lie; I have had pleasure. I have had singing"

This was paraphrased by Ronald Blythe who visited the English village of Akenfield and became the following lyrics to the Song "I Have Had Singing" by Steven Sametz

The singing,
There was so much singing then,
And this was my pleasure too.
We all sang,
The boys in the fields;
The chappels were full of singing,
Always singing.
Here I lie;
I have had pleasure enough,
I have had singing.

Not really a quote, but it is something that makes mre read it over and over and over again. It is just beautiful to behold.
