Quotes

I'm a bit of quote geek and always looking for more.

I love quotes from Hemingway to Homer Simpson, from Groucho Marx to Voltaire.

Anyone with any they'd like to share, please do so we can all appreciate them.

Here's a couple to get us started:

"Show me a hero, and I will write you a tragedy."
-F. Scott Fitzgerald

"Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut."
-Ernest Hemingway

"All truths that are kept silent become poisonous."
-Nietchze

"I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it."
- Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire

"It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens."
- Woody Allen

Here are a few attributed to Churchill:

"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject."
"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last."
"He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire."

My favorite is: "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened."

And the most surprising Churchill quote may be, "Never, never never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events."

W. C. Fields: Yeah, and you're crazy. And I'll be sober tomorrow and you'll be crazy for the rest of your life.
