Re: What is your favorite quote/saying?

My high school football coach, "You'll passout before you die, keep running".

Another one of his favorites, "I can make you puke running drills and you'll never have to leave a 3' box".

Gym teacher to two male students in a shoving match, "By all means fight and get it over with, then I get to do anything necessary to break it up, I haven't kicked anybody's ass in a while, it should be fun".

Me several years back giving a summer intern a hard time:

me: You've eaten p*ssy before haven't you?
intern: yea, but it tasted like sh*t
me: Well, there's the problem, roll her over, you've got the wrong hole.

Re: What is your favorite quote/saying?

The central belief of every moron is that he is the victim of a mysterious conspiracy against his common rights and true deserts. He ascribes all his failure to get on in the world, all of his congenital incapacity and damfoolishness, to the machinations of werewolves assembled in Wall Street, or some other such den of infamy.

My dear old Grandad used to say <span style="font-weight: bold">"boy, if you aint got time to do it right the first damn time, where in the hell are you gonna find time to re-do it" </span>
He was right and was usually the one making me re-do it, now I find myself using it on others and mainly my child.

There is a law written across the universe
that no one shall be crowned until they have first struggled.
No halo of merit rests suspended over those
who will not fight!

"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition..."
-Shakespeare, Henry V

I've been thinking about this quotation a lot recently. My team just got back from deployment, my ATL returning to a world of shit caused by his unfaithful wife. We've had to rally around him as he's sought out self-destructive behavior to relieve the pain he's in. But no matter what issues he ever has, when you've gone to war with a guy, he's family. Finally, I think we've got him on the right track again, but only time will tell.

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

The Man in the Ring- Tedy Roosevelt

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.

I saw this posted by another member on another forum. I have no idea who said it.

News occurs when the uninformed are interviewed by the unqualified to produce drivel for the uneducated.

From a song:

your satisfaction lies in your ILLUSIONS
But your delusions are yours and not mine

From Fight Club:

God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables — slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives.

From a college professor:

Piss off as few people as possible, but no less.

Re: What is your favorite quote/saying?

But clarity and brevity, though a good beginning, are only a beginning. By themselves, they may remain bare and bleak. When Calvin Coolidge, asked by his wife what the preacher had preached on, replied, "Sin," and, asked what the preacher had said, replied, "He was against it," he was brief enough. But one hardly envies Mrs. Coolidge.

The teacher or lecturer is a danger. He very seldom recognizes his nature or his position. The lecturer is a man who must talk for an hour. France may have possibly acquired the intellectual leadership or Europe when their academic period was cut down to 40 minutes. I also have lectured. The lecturer's first problem is to have enough words to fill 40 or 60 minutes. The professor is paid for his time, his results are almost impossible to estimate....No teacher has ever failed from ignorance. That is empiric professional knowledge. Teachers fail because they cannot "handle the class." Real education must ultimately be limited to men who INSIST on knowing, the rest is mere sheep herding.

Whoever it describes, it ain't you.

Good to hear from you, CKA!
