your favorite quotes & one-liners

Post by jeff mc »

[resurrected 2007 thread, locked because it's off topic according to our current policies - admin alex]

i always think a quote's effectiveness and/or humor is inversely proportional to its length (sorry to get all boolean on ya). i never read jokes longer than a few sentences and if someone starts into a long-winded repetitive joke, i always stop them and ask to just get to the punchline (yup, i'm just a social butterfly at parties!)

so, at the risk of getting into politics, sex, or religion (are there any other kind of jokes?!), what's your best short quote(s) about finances, life, etc. i know this could quickly delve into NC-17 / R rated stuff, but please censor yourself... i think we've all seen enough blond/sexist/political jokes to last us a lifetime... (uhhh... how many are in a 'brazilian'?)

i see some good quotes on signatures and know that's just the tip of the diehard iceberg of pithy quotes and one-liners. so, any other short soundbites to share? here's some random quotes that have stuck w/ me:

========
- I was sad because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet. So I said, "Got any shoes you're not using?"

- The less we know, the longer the explanation.

- What's the use of happiness? It can't buy you money.

- Always remember that you are unique. Just like everybody else.

- The four most dangerous words in investing are 'This time it's different.'

- One of the strange things about life is that the poor, who need money the most, are the very ones that never have it.

- When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.

- No single raindrop believes it is to blame for the flood.

- Madness does not always howl. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "Hey, is there room in your head for one more?"

- Some people like my advice so much that they frame it upon the wall instead of using it.

- Science may be described as the art of systematic over-simplification.

- To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research

- I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.

- I used to work in a fire hydrant factory. You couldn't park anywhere near the place.

- Brevity is the soul of wit!

I don't know if this qualifies, but I always liked what Calvin Coolidge, who was notoriously tight-lipped, supposedly said to a lady at a white house dinner.

According to legend, she announced to the President that she had heard that he wasn't much of a talker, and informed him that she placed a wager with a fellow diner that that she could get him to say more than two words during the meal.

He looked at her and simply responded, "You lose." He didn't open his mouth for the remainder of the meal.

Call me a one-issue voter, but I'd have voted for the guy on that basis alone...

To put things in perspective;

Money
It can buy a house, but not a home.
It can buy a clock, but not time.
It can buy you a position, but not respect.
It can buy you a bed, but not sleep.
It can buy you a book, but not knowledge.
It can buy you medicine, but not health.

It's too bad whole families have to be torn apart by something as simple as a pack of wolves.

When you go to a job interview, I think a good question to ask is if they ever press charges.

I hope if dogs ever take over the world, and they choose a king, they don't just go by size, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas.

I don't think God put me on this planet to judge others. I think he put me on this planet to gather specimens and take them back to my home planet.

If you're a horse, and someone gets on you, and falls off, and then gets right back on you, I think you should buck him right off again.

Sometimes I wish I would have a real tragic love affair and get so bummed out that I'd just quit my job and become a bum for a few years, because I was thinking about doing that anyway.

Sometimes I think I'd be better off dead. No, wait. Not me, you.

I hope that after I die, people will say of me: "That guy owed me a lot of money."

If I was the head of a country that lost a war, and I had to sign a peace treaty, just as I was signing I'd glance over the treaty and then suddenly act surprised. "Wait a minute!!! I thought we won!!!"

When the Viking Age came to a close, the Vikings must have sensed it. Probably, they gathered together one evening, slapped each other on the back and said, "Hey, good job."

I recognize some Steven Wright in the above quotes. Some other quotes of his (I think):

If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before.

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

One of my all-time favorite quotes concerned the rivalry between British Conservative and Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli and British Liberal and Prime Minister William Gladstone. Somebody once asked Disraeli if he knew the difference between a disaster and a catastrophe. Disraeli thought for a few minutes then explained that a disaster would occur if Gladstone ever fell into the River Thames. A catastrophe would happen, he continued, if someone should pull him out.

Also, Gladstone was known to his supporters as GOM – the "Grand Old Man." Disraeli is said to have remarked that GOM should have stood for “God's Only Mistake.”

Finally, anything said by Yogi Berra.

I can't believe this one hasn't been brought out yet:

"The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent." - Keynes

and

"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics" - B. Disraeli

and from George Carlin:

"Why is the man (or woman) who invests all your money called a broker?"

"When someone asks you, A penny for your thoughts, and you put your two cents in, what happens to the other penny?"

""I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence?"

[for Emergdoc]"Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice?"

"I'm not concerned about all hell breaking loose, but that a PART of hell will break loose... it'll be much harder to detect."

"Do pediatricians play miniature golf on Wednesdays?"

"I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death."

Spyder,
Are some or most of those quotes from SNL's Jack Handy?
It seems like his style. I love his stuff.
To me, it's always a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?," you can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."
And...
I believe in making the world safe for our children, but not our children's children, because I don't think children should be having sex.

Here are a few of my favorite quotes in no particular order:


"Stay the course!" - our friend and mentor, Jack Bogle

"The winning strategy is to build a globally diversified portfolio of passively managed funds that reflects your ability, willingness and need to take risk, and then having the discipline to stay the course." - Larry Swedroe, author of several fine investing books, friend and mentor.

"Invest your time actively and your money passively." - my friend & mentor Michael LeBoeuf, author of "The Millionaire In You"

"It's much more profitable to sell investing advice than to follow it." - Malcolm Forbes

"Sell down to your sleeping point" - J.P. Morgan

Quotes:

Post by Kathleen Ryan »

Croesus:
In peace the sons bury their fathers, but in war the fathers bury their sons.

Albert Einstein:
Great ideas often receive violent opposition from mediocre minds.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt:
I have seen war. I have seen war on land and sea. I have seen blood running from the wounded. I have seen the dead in the mud. I have seen cities destroyed. I have seen children starving. I have seen the agony of mothers and wives. I hate war.

General Douglas MacArthur:
FI know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling international disputes.

George Bernard Shaw:
Indifference is the essence of inhumanity.

Tenneva Jordan:
A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.

Quotes about fathers:

Clarence Budington Kelland:
He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.

John Gregory Brown:
(Decorations in a Ruined Cemetery, 1994)

There's something like a line of gold thread running through a man's words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you to pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself.

From Duane Thomas, a running back for the Dallas Cowboys during the 70's, who once embarrassed a CBS announcer on national television who had just asked him, after winning Super Bowl VI, what it felt like to prevail in the ultimate game.

"If it's the ultimate game," Thomas responded, "then how come they're going to play it again next year?"
