Favorite Quotes

I needed a place to keep my favorite quotes. What better place than here? So here we go (in no particular order)...

1. "Marge, it takes two to lie. One to lie and one to listen." Homer Simpson
2. "Greed is good." Gordon Gecko, Wall Street
3. "Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence." John Adams
4. "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." Abraham Lincoln
5. "Evil will always triumph over good because good is dumb." Dark Helmet, Spaceballs
6. "I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman." Homer Simpson
7. "My Homer is not a communist. He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a communist, but he is not a porn star." Grandpa Simpson
8. Business man: "I'll have a Samual Jackson" Samual Jackson: "Good motherf**king choice, motherf**ker! Samuel Jackson! Made painstakingly by me, Samuel L. Jackson! It'll get ya drunk! You'll be f**king fat girls in no time! You might even fight a n**ga or two! Mmmm-mmm, b*tch! How's it taste, motherf**ker?!" Chappelle Show
9.  "Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls need to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and curse the Marines; you have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago 's death, while tragic, probably saved lives and that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use then as the backbone of a life trying to defend something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest that you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to."  Col. Jessup, A Few Good Men
