    Post Favorite Quotes? famous or infamous

    In the spirit of the "Favorite Lyric" thread, what are your Favorite Quotes (and why)

    "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, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."
    - Robert A. Heinlein
    I like life being full of variety of activity. I think I've done about everything on this list, in some form or another, except solve equations(math is not my strong suite)and balance accounts (H&R Block does that) and die gallantly.
    "Teach the ignorant, care for the dumb, punish the stupid."

    Lisa Simpson has some of my favorite quotes, in my sig and whatever that thing is under your name, but my favorite quote is by Homer : Lisa, if you don’t like your job you don’t strike. You just go in there every day and do it really half-assed. That’s the American way.
    Words to live by.
