What's Your Favorite Quote?
1/3/02 | Stevio

Posted on 01/03/2002 5:33:02 AM PST by stevio

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.

Political tags -- such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth -- are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number. The latter are surly curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort.

WORK like you don't need the money. LOVE like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching. Pray like it's your LAST prayer.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. -- Robert Anson Heinlein

By gum, you seem to be right..i've only found one reference to a Memphis, Greece but no listing on a map anywhere...maybe there is a less popular Memphis in Greece that doesn't exist anymore, like there is a Warsaw, Poland and a Warsaw, Indiana (except that the Indiana version still exists...I think), Thankxz for the sharp eye. I guess David Byrne isn't the intellectual I thot he was

"I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some mid-level governmental functionary with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts squeezing out babies."
- Could have been Ted Nugent, or Robin Williams, or any number of people who want to lay claim to this gem.
Who originated it is un-important. What is important is the quote itself.
