Re: Thoughtful quotes

Yogi is famous for so many of them.

My favorite is:
Quote:
I never said most of the things I said.
And of course:
Quote:
Nobody goes there anymore because it's too crowded.
Quote:
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.

Re: Thoughtful quotes

Ya gotta love Yogi quotes...

A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore.

Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.

I knew the record would stand until it was broken.

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.

For myself, it was always Murphy and his Golden Rule in one hand and a Smith & Wesson in the other: Murphy Laws Site - Murphy Laws

If anyone quibbles with this, I'd point out I'm still posting with ten healthy fingers and an attitude.

Actually that's an old Irish saying, along with the blessing:

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
May the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

Now that you mention it, I think you're right!!!

Damn you Will Rogers.

Re: Thoughtful quotes

The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'. - unknown

Speaking of Groucho:

I wouldn't join any organization that would have me as a member.

Re: Thoughtful quotes

Edgar Allan Poe

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.
