    What is your favourite quote/s? Write here quotes and remarks that speak to you or that you like. The source doesn't matter but where known try to incluide it ( this is only in reference to famous people, where a friend or someone you know just state so.)

    One of my favourites, by George Bernard Shaw: "The worst sin towards our fellow humans is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them."

    You may look around and see two groups here; white collar, blue collar. But I don't see it that way, and you know why not? Because I am collar-blind.

    Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.

    A conversation between a friend of mine and her friend:

    My Friend: "My throat has been really sore for days now!"
    Her Friend: "You might have tonsillitis..."
    MF: "Oh sh!t, do you think so? I had that before, it was horrible :( "
    HF: "I dunno, c'mere... *proceeds to gander down my friends throat*
    MF: "What are you looking for??"
    HF: "To see if your tonsils are swollen."
    MF: "Ok. Wait, I don't have any tonsils..."

    She'd had them removed the first time!

    :D

    My Favourite's

    Beer: Helping ugly people have s*x since 1862!

    I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. -- Frank Sinatra

    And you, madam are ugly. But I will be sober in the morning. - Winston Churchill to Bessie Braddock MP, who said he was drunk. (THE BEST IMO)

    Where truth is replaced by silence, the silence is a lie.- Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Soviet dissident.

    or the old Churchill classic, "he has all of the virtues I dislike, and none of the vices I admire."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 570 ✭✭✭stevecrow74


    I came up with this one at a party while extremely drunk, when someone said 'your old'.

    my reply was:
    "No, I'm not old, I'm just more experienced at being me"
