Thread: "Quote" of the day

I am sure there are plenty of people around here who enjoy a good quote. I know I sure do. Thought it would be nice to have a place to collect them. Quotes about anything from music, art, literature, nature, family, love, wet shaving/straight razors and everywhere in between are welcome. So long as they are clean, of course.

Being a very big fan of learning/education and the Blues, this quote has always meant something to me:

"The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you." -B.B. King

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." - Gandhi

One of my favorites:

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, and die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. - Robert A. Heinlein

"Faith perceives truth sooner than experience can." - Kahlil Gibran

"In prosperity, our friends know us. In adversity, we know our friends." - Churton Collins

"He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever." - Chinese Proverb

"When I was in grade school, they told me to write down what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down HAPPY. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, I told them they didn't understand life." --John Lennon

Another Heinlein quote: happiness is getting enough sleep... (Starship troopers)

"He who is greatest among you shall be your servant; whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." - Matthew 23:11-12

"What, me worry?" I think either Charlie Brown or Alfred E Newman.

And to quote my Grandmother who would caution us on the evils in the world, Dasn't do it."
