I know this is pure vanity, but here it is.

I'm joining a new company and they have a "Get to know your fellow employee" kind of thing. They ask your name, marital status, favorite book (The Bible), movie (Road Warrior), music (Jazz), web site (Free Republic), etc..
My dilemma is I need a favorite quote. Some quotes are good for certain situations and some are not. As I respect and admire my Freeper family, I ask for your help.

P.S. When asked; "what you want your co-workers to know about you", I penned a very pro-Second Amendment statement.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.-- John Stuart Mil

Oh! And Ecclesiastes 10:2 (I think...)....

"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, the heart of a fool to the left." (It's reallllly close to that, look it up to check for exact phrase, though--I left my Bible at home today)

Here's another one! How utterly frivolous.

Go, stranger, and to Lacedaemon tell
That here, obeying her behests, we fell.

Speaking of Winston Churchill, here's one: (actually an exchange between Churchill & Lady Astor)

Lady Astor: "Winston, if you were my husband, I'd put poison in your coffee."

Churchill: "Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it."

Seen once in a men's room stall:

From Abe Lincoln:

"It is better to keep one's mouth closed and be thought a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt."

I am not a cat person (hate the things) but still like this quote:

"Happiness is a cat. Chase it and it will elude you, it will hide. But sit and peacefully do your work, live your life and show your love, and it will silently come to you and curl itself upon your feet."

When Gandolf says:“Goodness no, Frodo. We can’t always choose the things that life throws at us as well. Nobody would Choose Dark Times like these.”

“No, we can’t always control what is happening to us, all we can do is decide how to spend our time.”

Viktor Frankl:

There is no freedom without responsibility.

Here's another GREAT one for the workplace:

We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams, we would be reorganized...I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing, and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.

My favorite work oriented one is - "Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." I can't recall if it was Mark Twain or Will Rogers....
