Mine...

"The man who thinks he can and the man who thinks he cant are both right"

"They scoffed at the great ones: Galileo, Einstein, Cooter."


"There is little that can withstand a man who can conquer himself." Louis XIV


This one has nothing to do with bodybuilding but I think its funny.

"It has not yet been proven if inteligence aids in a species survival." -Stephen Hawking.
 
BILL CLINTON (February 17, 1998): Or we take some ambiguous third route which gives him yet more opportunities to develop this program of weapons of mass destruction and continue to press for the release of sanctions and continue to ignore the solemn commitments that he made.


DEAN (January 31, 1998): Iraq is an international outlaw. I'm not sure China is one, but I'm quite sure Iran and Iraq are.

SANDY BURGAR (February 18, 1998): He will rebuild his arsenal of weapons of mass destruction. And someday, some way, I am certain, he will use that arsenal again, as he has ten times since 1983.

PELOSI (November 17, 2002): Saddam Hussein certainly has chemical and biological weapons, there's no question about that.

HILLARY: I doubt it. I can support the president. I can support an action against Saddam Hussein because I think it's in the long-term interests of our national security.

JOHNNY EDWARDS (January 7, 2003): Serving on the intelligence committee and seeing day after day, week after week, briefings on Saddam's weapons of mass destruction and his plans on using those weapons, he cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons. It's just that simple.

THE PRESIDENT: (November 11th, 2005) When I made the decision to remove Saddam Hussein from power, Congress approved it with strong bipartisan support. While it's perfectly legitimate to criticize my decision or the conduct of the war, it is deeply irresponsible to rewrite the history of how that war began. These critics are fully aware that a bipartisan Senate investigation found no evidence of political pressure to change the intelligence community's judgments related to Iraq's weapons programs. As our troops fight a ruthless enemy determined to destroy our way of life, they deserve to know that their elected leaders who voted to send them to war continue to stand behind them.



i like them :-)
 
This is my favorite quote by Vince Lombardi

"I don't say these things because I believe in the "brute" nature of man or that men must be brutalized to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. But I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle — victorious."
 
"You only regret the risks you never took."

I remember this from Grumpy Old Men, but I'm sure it originated before that.
 
"If you're reading this, thank a teacher...

If you're reading this in English, Thank a soldier..."

Ambition is the last refuge of the failure.

Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.

Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same.

Children begin by loving their parents; after a time they judge them; rarely, if ever, do they forgive them.

Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.

How marriage ruins a man! It is as demoralizing as cigarettes, and far more expensive.

If there was less sympathy in the world, there would be less trouble in the world.

Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.

Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.

No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly.

She wore far too much rouge last night and not quite enough clothes. That is always a sign of despair in a woman.

Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.

The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything.

The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything. Except what is worth knowing. Journalism, conscious of this, and having tradesman-like habits, supplies their demands.

There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

When a woman marries again it is because she detested her first husband. When a man marries again, it is because he adored his first wife. Women try their luck; men risk theirs.

Women are made to be loved, not understood.

"Don't do anything by half. If you love someone, love them with all your soul. When you go to work, work your ass off. When you hate someone, hate them until it hurts."
