"Hungry DAWGS hunt best." Believe it or not, this is not related to the Browns. I love this quote because I relate it to success. The hungrier you are to achieve something, the better your chances.

Go ahead... Post your quotes... Don't be shy!!!

"Don't let your ego define success for you. It will always break your heart."



That is the one I like for the moment. So many to list i could go one all day.

This is just a partial quote..... "Winning isn't a sometimes thing, it's an all the time thing." That is from one of the greatest coaches ever, Vince Lombardi. Always has been a favorite quote.

"I am faster than 80% of all snakes."

"There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots."

"We're gonna go inside, we're gonna go outside, inside and outside. We're gonna get 'em on the run boys and once we get 'em on the run we're gonna keep 'em on the run. And then we're gonna go go go go go go and we're not gonna stop til we get across that goalline. This is a team they say is... is good, well I think we're better than them. They can't lick us, so what do you say men? "

“If I were in charge I'd drug test all you son's of b*tches, not just the athletes.”
- Bob Knight


That one is HILARIOUS!!!

Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense. (Hurting yourself is not sinful - just stupid)

A man does not insist on physical beauty in a woman who builds up his morale. After a while he realizes that she IS beautiful - he just hadn't noticed it at first.

Here's a few of how I've come to love:


"When the power of love overcomes
the love of power the world will know peace."- Jimi Hendrix

"Knowledge speaks, wisdom listens." - Jimi Hendrix

"Be the change you want to see in the world." - Gandhi

"When you lose, don't lose the lesson" - The Dalai Llama

"Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it." - Dalai Llama

"Anybody can make history. Only a great man can write it." - Oscar Wilde

"Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life." - Oscar Wilde

"Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils." - Hector Berlioz

"Life is like footsteps in the snow, every step shows." - Can't quite recall the author at this time

Sorry I listed so many but I was recently looking up some aphorisms and those were my favorites. All but the Hector Berlioz quote I've known for quite a long time now.

"I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury." - Groucho Marx

"With each true friendship, we build more firmly the foundation on which the peace of the whole world rests."

Will Rogers said...
""The crime of taxation is not in the taking it, it's in the way that it's spent."

"Both political parties have their good times and bad times, only they have them at different times. They are each good when they are out, and bad when they are in."

"People's minds are changed through observation and not through argument."

"Technocracy wants to do everything by machinery... Machinery is doing just fine. If it can't kill you, it will put you out of work."

"The small town was the incubator that hatched all our leaders, and that's why we haven't got as many leaders today as we used to have. If you take every small-town-raised leader out of business and industry you wouldn't have anybody running it but vice-presidents." (Slightly edited for clarity)

"I have always noticed that people will never laugh at anything that is not based on truth."

"Everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody else."

"It costs ten times more to govern us than it used to, and we are not governed one-tenth as good."

"I joked about every prominent man of my time, but I never met a man I didn't like."

I believe that Will Rogers was a genius and that every man who met him was better off for it.

“You better take care of me Lord, if you don't you're gonna have me on your hands.”

“The person who doesn't scatter the morning dew will not comb gray hairs”

Just a few of my favorites, from Hunter.

Mr. Esquire Bart Simpson

Outlined against the blue-gray October sky, the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as Famine, Pestilence, Destruction and Death. These are only aliases. Their real names are Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden. They formed the crest of the South Bend Cyclone before which another fighting Army football team was swept over the precipice at the Polo Grounds yesterday as 55,00 spectators peered down on the bewildering panarama spread on the green plain below.

-Grantland Rice

Here are a few of mine...

Strive mightly, but eat and drink as friends.

I might not be able to cut the musturd, but I can lick the jar !

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent...Eleanor Roosevelt.

A spirit of national masochism prevails, encouraged by an effete corps of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as intellectuals.

Confronted with the choice, the American people would choose the policeman's truncheon over the anarchist's bomb.

In the United States today, we have more than our share of the nattering nabobs of negativism.

I didn't say I wouldn't go into ghetto areas. I've been in many of them and to some extent I would say this; if you've seen one city slum, you've seen them all.

- Spiro T. Agnew

I didn't and don't agree with Agnew's politics, but he is the source of a number of interesting and controversial quotations....
