Famous Quotes

[Elite Lord Sigma]

What are some of your favorite quotes for being witty, funny, or any reason? The only quotes that I won't allow here are quotes from video games, as there is already a thread for that in General Gaming Discussion.

Here are some of mine:

"I get paid for seeing that my clients have every break the law allows. I have knowingly defended a number of guilty men. But the guilty never escape unscathed. My fees are sufficient punishment for anyone."

-F. Lee Bailey, defense attorney

"I've worked my way up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty."

-Groucho Marx, Monkey Business

"I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception."

-Groucho Marx

[lady yunalesca]

the monologue by al pacino in devils advocate when attempting to gain "sympathy for the devil" (sorry couldnt resist ;) )

God's your prankster, my boy.
Think of it. He gives man
instincts. He gives you this
extraordinary gift and then, I
swear to you -- for his own
amusement -- his own private,
cosmic gag reel -- he sets the
rules in opposition. It's the
goof of all time. Look but don't
touch. Touch but don't taste.
Taste but don't swallow. And
while you're jumping from one foot
to the other he's laughing his
sick f£$%ing ass off! He's a
tight-ass. He's a sadist. He's
an absentee landlord!

this isnt my view i will add!! but as far as his character is concerned....its a really good argument!!! ;)

Mason: There you go Emily. (gives her a phallic shaped balloon)

"All your base are belong to us."
"Somebody set us up the bomb."
"This guy are sick."



Hahahahahahaa.
Yo, we going to go ghost town,
This motown,
With yo sound, you in the blink,
Going to bite the dust,
Cant fight with us,
With yo sound,
You kill the INC,
So dont stop, get it, get it,
Until you're cheddar header,
And watch the way I navigate,
Hahahahahhahahah!


"What do you want from me, woman? It is not yet my time."

[I Took the Red Pill]

"Hate the sin, love the sinner." - Mahatma Gandhi

"Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree." - Martin Luther King Jr.

"The sun, the moon and the stars would have disappeared long ago... had they happened to be within the reach of predatory human hands." -Henry Ellis

[dirkdirden]

"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

[Luther X-Rated]

This is my grandfather's quote (Ahem)

donde menos se piensa salta la liebre

Anybody who translates this gets a cool prize!

[Ballistix Man]

This is my grandfather's quote (Ahem)

donde menos se piensa salta la liebre

Anybody who translates this gets a cool prize!
where less one thinks jumps the hare

[Luther X-Rated]

where less one thinks jumps the hare

I think that was close, but no dice!
I'll still give you a cool prize for trying though! *Hands you a :tonberry:*

The quote actually says,

"Trouble or Luck comes when you least expect it".

[Tavrobel]

donde menos se piensa salta la liebre

"Trouble or Luck comes when you least expect it".

Wouldn't it be "cuando" (when), instead of "donde" (where), "pensarse" is "to think to oneself", saltar should be in the infinitive, which means "to cross", or "to jump", and "la liebre" means "the hare". Therefore, this quote makes no sense grammatically. Or you need the subjunctive, but I find a hard time fitting it into the sentence in such a way without altering it radically.

"Problemas y suerte van a venir cuando usted no lo sabe."


donde menos se piensa salta la liebre

where less one thinks jumps the hare

Quoted for correctness. This quote has nothing to do with Luck, or expectations. "Suerte", which is Luck, is nowhere mentioned in the sentence, so the sentence cannot possibly be about luck.

I believe that Ballistix Man deserves his prize.


I think that was close, but no dice!
The translation that Ballistix Man provided was exact.

Since this phrase is Spanish in structure and attempt, I know it's not Catalan, nor Basque. Don't even try to pass it off as French. And any form of Muslim-ized-Spanish, (yes, I understand the irony of that statement), would begin with Ojalá in every case.

"Blood's not thicker than money."
-Groucho Marx

"The secret of success is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake those, you've got it made."
-Groucho Marx

"If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk?"
-Albert Einstein

[GhandiOwnsYou]

Aliquando et insanire iucundum est. ~ It is sometimes pleasant even to act like a madman. ... Seneca

Struit insidias lacrimis cum femina plorat. ~ When a woman weeps, she is setting traps with her tears. ... Dionysius Cato

that, and my personal favorite Oscar Wilde...

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.

A man whose desire is to be something separate from himself... invariably succeeds in being what he wants to be. That is his punishment. Those who want a mask have to wear it.
