What are some of your favorite quotes? Here are a few of mine:
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize. – Voltaire
The usefulness of a cup is its emptiness. - Bruce Lee
Any fool can commit a murder; a suicide requires a real professional. – Genrikh Yagoda Chief of the NKVD during the early 1930s
Socialists can provide you shelter, fill your belly with bacon and beans, treat you when you're ill, all the things guaranteed to a prisoner or a slave.

My former tag line, an oft used bit, but I like the Kevin Spacey tilt on it from ‘The Usual Suspects’...

After reading this quote of Heinlein, I couldn’t help but say out loud, “Oh my God, oh my God.” Thanks very much. Well you're welcome. This is fun. A lot of people in history said a lot of insightful things. A lot of people in history also said a lot of very funny things.
For example, Oscar Wilde on his death bed said:
"This wallpaper is dreadful. ‘Either it goes, or I do."

It’s true, right? We do have a certain reverence and affection for pigs
Here’s another of Churchills I just read in an earlier post bears repeating

Ronald Reagan during one of the debates... Something like “l won’t hold my opponent’s youth and inexperience against him.”
“There you go again...”
“The bombing will commence in five minutes... “
LOL!
I miss President Reagan....
