Quotes of the Day

[Dinosaur]

Words of wisdom that my Dad used to say to his four sons and daughter who "sometimes" tested his patience.

"I brought you into this world and I can take you out"

Mind your p's and q's always.

If you don't have anything nice to say think of something!

Keep your stick on the ice and keep a stiff upper lip.

You are tougher than you know.

Keep your driving between the fence posts.

Get your elbows off the table. Chew with your mouth closed.

Are you new to this family? No?Then you have no excuse.

We are a family. Remember that with everything you do.

[Racheal]

I never saw a wild thing

sorry for itself...

A bird will fall frozen

dead from a bough,

without

ever

having

felt sorry for itself.

D H Lawrence

[I AM WEASEL!!!]

Yeah Yeah Yeah....I know its a movie quote...but man it speaks volumes always has.it still sends chills up my spine

You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you 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 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 these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em 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, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!

...the most devastating weapon-of-mass-destruction ever deployed against any particular national population has always been its own unrestrained government, armed with powers ceded during moments of real or imagined crisis.--Peter Hendrickson

It is not work that kills men, it is worry. Work is healthy; you can hardly put more on a man than he can bear. But worry is rust upon the blade. It is not movement that destroys the machinery, but friction.

Henry Ward Beecher

Let all the ends thou aim'st at be thy country's,

Thy God's and truth's.

William Shakespeare

Never let life's hardships disturb you ... no one can avoid problems, not even saints or sages.

AMEN TO THAT, MY FRIENDS.

ALSO, "ANYDAY ABOVE GROUND, IS A GOOD DAY"! ENJOY LIVE, YOU ONLY GET TO DO THIS "ONCE" IN A LIFETIME.
