Thread: X's signature

Where else can I go to for advice, but among the gentlemen of SRP.

I've been using the same signature for many years now and I think it's time to change it up, but I don't know where to take it. I thought of a Shakespeare quote, but can't pick one. I like Socrates and Aristotle bytes but none seem appropriate.

Suggestions are appreciated.

"The multiplying villainies of nature do swarm upon him"

"Disdaining fortune with his brandished steel, which smoked with bloody execution"

"We are oft to blame in this. 'Tis too much proved that with devotion's visage and pious action we do sugar o'er the devil himself."

"I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none."

"And thus I clothe my naked villainy with old odd ends, stol'n forth of holy writ; and seem a saint, when most I play the devil."

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks"

"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool"

"Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard from no more"

"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers"

"Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war"

"'Tis a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing"

"It's hard to be religious when certain people are never incinerated by bolts of lightning"
~Calvin (Calvin & Hobbes)

A few of my favorites

an exchange between the greatest philosophizers of all time

Ted: [whispering to Bill] Now what?
Bill: I dunno. Philosophize with him!
Ted: [clears his throat, to Socrates] "All we are is dust in the wind," dude.

[Socrates gives them a blank stare]

Bill: [scoops up a pile of dust from the basin before them and lets it run out of his hand]
Dust.

[he blows the remainder away]
Bill: Wind.

Ted: [points at Socrates] Dude.
[Socrates gasps]

"You boys gonna draw those pistols or whistle dixie" Har Har.

This one from Socrates seems to fit you

The unexamined life is not worth living.

I don't think its appropriate for a signature, but this is my favorite exchange out of Shakespeare:

CONSTABLE OF FRANCE: "I know him to be valiant." (referring to the DAUPHIN)
DUKE OF ORLEANS: "I was told that by one that knows him better than you."	52
CONSTABLE OF FRANCE: "What’s he?"
DUKE OF ORLEANS: "Marry, he told me so himself; and he said he cared not who knew it."

"Climate change. Coming to a town near you."

How about:

"My view of the world is constantly evolving"

To shave or to shave straight, that's the question.

Here's a couple that I like:

Erst das Fressen und dan die Moral, (First food then Morals) Berthold Brecht.

Sunt pueri pueri, pueri puerilia tractant (boys will be boys)

If you want to help a starving man don't give him fish but give him a net.
