Quotes, quotes and more quotes.

Mon May 18, 2009, 12:42 PM
I was digging through an old file cabinet of mine, and found a folder that has quotes in it. Some of these have been in my possession for quite some time. Anyway, I thought I'd share some of them with all you good dA-ers. Where I know who said it, I give full credit. If I don't, then I can't. BUT I don't take credit for any of this.

My 3 personal favorites...

"If common sense is just that, why don't more people have it?"
- Mark Twain

"If you don't know where you're going, you're gonna end up there."
- Yogi Berra
(think about that for a minute)

"A woman can run faster with her dress up than a man with his pants down."
- Sally Opzal, a female Martial Arts instructor I know, to break the ice at her woman's self-defense classes.


And now, just stuff...


"If you can't understand it, it's intuitively obvious."
- unknown

"The Optimist says the glass is half full.
The Pessimist says the glass is half empty.
The Engineer says the glass is 200% of design specs."
- unknown

"As a Fighter Pilot only two bad things can happen to you and ONE of them will happen to you:

A - One day you will walk out to the aircraft knowing that it is your last flight in a fighter.

B - One day you will walk out to the aircraft NOT knowing that it is your last flight in a fighter."

- Royal Australian Air Force Flight Instructor Humor


And last but not least, I personally found this scribbled on the wall in a hospital I worked at, in Colorado.

"The only difference between this place and the Titanic is, THEY had a band."


If you have any silliness you'd like to share, let's hear them.

  • Listening to: 1812 Overture, the howitzer's are the best part
  • Reading: A Crack in the Edge of the World
  • Watching: my monitor...duh
  • Playing: I'm not going to tell
  • Eating: French Bread with Peanut Butter
  • Drinking: Totally unidentifiable, but tastes like ice tea

True, could be.

I do know that he said...

"Someone broke into my apartment last night and stole everything...and replaced it with exact duplicates."

Oh the common sense one is so true... and of course figherpilot humor is always good :P

I have plenty of quoteable quotes, and my favorite is in my signature. However, since there's no point in repeating that one and I'm currently having a brain fart on the others... I'll give you an acronym for now: LOTUS - Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious.

"Designers think everything done by someone else is awful, and that they could do it better themselves, which explains why I designed my own living room carpet, I suppose." - Chris Bangle

Yes, I do like your "boredom" quote. I hadn't heard the LOTUS one before, sort of on the lines of SNAFU and FUBAR.

A retired US Air Force buddy has a good one...BOHICA (Bow-hE-ka)... Bend Over, Here It Comes Again

Haha, yeah Lotus is actually having a go at Lotus Cars... who make very good sports cars, but also have a reputation for being finicky and unreliable =P
