What quote do you like the most? It can be from anyone, ancient to modern.

Mine is one of Patton's quotes,

"Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom."

I'm kinda partial to "If God created us in His image, we have returned him the favour." - Voltaire.
In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread.

"If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little." -George Carlin
Life's Short. Munch Tacos.

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

Samuel Clemens aka Mark Twain wrote:We despise all reverences and all the objects of reverence which are outside the pale of our own list of sacred things. And yet, with strange inconsistency, we are shocked when other people despise and defile the things which are holy to us.


Winston Churchill wrote:Men stumble across the truth from time to time, but most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

"Time is an illusion, lunch-time doubly so." Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy

Though some of my favourite due to their sheer audacity more than anything deep or meaningful, probably do have to be from the Duke of Wellington

"I don't know what effect these men will have upon the enemy, but, by God, they frighten me."

"Publish and be damned.- Replying to a blackmail threat."

And Winston Churchill:

"Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed. "

"History will be kind to me for I intend to write it."

"I have always felt that a politician is to be judged by the animosities he excites among his opponents."

"It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried."

"Don't talk to me about naval tradition. It's nothing but rum, sodomy, and the lash."
