Epic Quotes

What is your favorite quote? Is it Newtons? Or is it your own?

My favorite (that i made) is my sig in MG, that "success is the climax of failure" (a completely pessimistic veiw, but still something I go by and use as a guideline.)

It basically means, when you have success, things are likely to go back to hell the way they where usually.

My favorite celebrity/famous person quote:"discovery is always a rape of nature"

Its just a simply epic quote, that I agree with 100%.

"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country, he won the war by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country!"
~General George S. Patton

Epic, just epic

EDIT here is one of my favorite quotes.
War does not decide who is right. It decides who is left.

Here is one I made myself,I like it cause it's true, and I listen to it.

"Don't epect the expected but expect the unexpected."

"Don't epect the expected but expect the unexpected."

Misspelled again...

And, to me, that's the most pointless quote I've heard. It really makes no sense...

"History is written by the victors, history is filled with liars."
~John Price

The quuote was originaly from Winston Churchill, but Price added on "history is filled with liars."

I must say I completly agree with this quote

I have quite a few favorite quotes (some of which are long).

"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense."-Buddha

"Ho, ho... ”It's never been tried." It's been tried. A few guys even came close. You know the three most successful robberies in the history of Vegas? Number three, the Bronze Medal - pencil-neck grabs a lockbox at the Horseshoe...[a man grabs a lockbox out of a guard's hand and runs for the door, and six guards instantly tackle him to the floor] He got two steps closer to the door than any living soul before him. [cut to the present] Second most successful robbery... [flashback - the gaming room at the Flamingo, in grainy color. A long-haired man is running for the door, clutching a bag] the Flamingo in '71. This guy actually tasted fresh oxygen before they grabbed him.[the man gets within a few feet of the door, before a guard smashes him across the face with a nightstick] Of course, he was breathing out of a hose for the next three weeks. Goddamn hippy.[back to the present] And the *closest* any man has ever come to robbing a Las Vegas casino...[flashback - outside Caesar's Palace, in color. A man runs out, hunched over an armful of cash, followed by three security guards] Was outside of Caesar's in '87. He came, he grabbed...[the three guards shoot the thief in the back] They conquered."-Reuben Tishkoff, Ocean's Eleven

'I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure."-Agent Smith

"Do you not know death when you see it, old man?"- The Witch King of Angmar

"Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed like rain on the mountain. Like wind on the meadow. The days have gone down in the West. Behind the hills, into Shadow. How did it come to this?"-King Theoden

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”-Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.”- Charles Darwin

"As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot."-John Lennon

"If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart."-Ra's al Ghul

I've got far more quotes then that, but I think I'll save them for another post (I haven't even gotten to my favorite sci-fi quotes, and I've only posted two from LOTR).

'to be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.' -my motivation.

"Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat (the burden of proof rests on who asserts, not who denies)"-Legal principle
"Cogito ergo sum (I think, therefore I am)"-Descartes

“There are many hypotheses in science which are wrong. That's perfectly all right; they're the aperture to finding out what's right. Science is a self-correcting process. To be accepted, new ideas must survive the most rigorous standards of evidence and scrutiny.”-Dr. Carl Sagan

"It's time to kick ass and chew Bubblegum, and I'm all out of bubblegum!"
~ Duke Nukem

Amazing Duke Quote.

Heres my favorite one, i like to think i came up with it but i could be wrong:

"if everything is comeing your way, your on the wrong side of the road"


^.^ i like saying it....dont think its really a quote now that i think about it

Here are a few more:

"Mr. Stark displays textbook narcissism...Agreed."
"I''m sorry. This is the fun-vee. The hum-drum-vee is back there."
"If you douse me again, and I'm not on fire, I'm donating you to a city college."
-Tony Stark

"Remember that chap about twenty years ago? I forget his name. (He) climbed Everest without any oxygen, came down nearly dead. And they said, why did you go up there to die? He said, I didn't; I went up there to live."- Roland Tembo, The Lost World: Jurassic Park

"[in Elvish] You're late. [in English] You look terrible."-Legolas, The Two Towers

"Who the hell do they think they are? I report to the Prime Minister and even he's smart enough not to ask me what we do. Have you ever seen such a bunch of self-righteous, arse-covering prigs? They don't care what we do; they care what we get photographed doing. And how the hell could Bond be so stupid? I give him double-O status and he celebrates by shooting up an embassy. Is the man deranged? And where the hell is he? In the old days if an agent did something that embarrassing he'd have a good sense to defect. Christ, I miss the Cold War."- M, Casino Royale

"When you told me your grand plan for saving Gotham, the only thing that stopped me from calling the men in white coats was when you said that it wasn't about thrill-seeking."
"It's not."
"What would you call *that*?"
[points to a TV news report showing a helicopter shot of the Batmobile being chased down the freeway by police cars]
"Damn good television"-Alfred Pennyworth to Bruce Wayne, Batman Begins.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

Pwned, mate. Wish we had that smiley. This should do:

"No, I swear, Master Chief is never gonna die. He's gonna live forever. It's gonna take a friggin atomic bomb to knock that guy out!"
Petty Officer Second Class Moss, from yesterday, talking about my Master Chief in NJROTC

National Junior Rotating Tree Copters

Hey, Gopher, seriosly? Please stop doing that, its really getting annoing. I hate it when people make fun of my unit and JROTC in general.

Damn, I hoped it wouldn't lead to this. Sorry...I didn't intend to make fun of anything to do with JROTC, I am just an English freak and love to play with acronyms.

Again, I really didn't intend to make fun of your unit. I'm just immature sometimes....ugh

What an uncomfortable moment. What happened to the nice flow of quotes that I destroyed? Anyone got any?

Lemme fix this
Darwin, was a nut.
Spinosaurus was fiercer.
Your grammar is horrid.

Sorry, but this site is gold.
