Confusous (the comedy ones) sayings is

"Man with hole in pocket feel cocky all day."

 

[Matt Stone]

I have a lot of favorite sayings... I literally have notebooks full of all sorts of fortune cookie wisdom.

The absolute best saying, however, that I have come across yet (for just overall general purpose use) is the one in my sig attributed to Wang Shujin...

My other absolute life long favorite is:

Saru mo ki kara ochiru

Or:

Even monkeys fall from trees

Gotta love it.

Beware the fury of a patient man. -John Dryden

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blesséd is he who shepherds the weak through the Valley of Darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper, and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down with great vengeance and furious anger, those who attemp to poison and destroy my brothers, and you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee... -Ezekial 25:17

you can thank Pulp Fiction for that one, great movie.
only a stoner like Tarintino coulda gotten a cast like that in a movie.

 

[Blindside]

Hey Chronuss,

I think that quote from Ezekial is off, the movie version is different than the bible version.

Here is a couple:

“Neither a fortress nor a virgin will hold out long after they begin to negotiate.”
~Benjamin Franklin

“The universe is not only queerer than we imagine, but queerer than we can imagine.”
~J.B.S. Haldane


“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.”
