"Jokes are like frogs.


If you dissect them they will die."
Frogs are usually dead before you dissect them. Not so with jokes.

You got me there.

If you're going to fix something, do it right; your use of "is" is superfluous.





Tehehe.  I really should stop messing around on the internet.  But, then again...

Here goes mine:

Quote from: Andy Biersack
Live your life. Listen to you music way too loud, be as crazy and as ''different'' as you want to be and always remember you're not alone.

Quote from: SleepKillerNever look at what another person did wrong rather look at what you yourself could have done better.

Now this is one that can be applied to many different situations but I primarily pondered over it while playing team based shooters because so many people fail to do this. Do it and your entire team will benefit. (But also try applying it to life as well; after an argument with someone or something similar. You'll be better off for it.)

" Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future."
  -John F. Kennedy
                         
"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing."
-Socrates
These two quotes are really great in my opinion  :)
Sometimes one must endure the darkness to see the brightest of lights. - anonymous

"I am part of all that i have met" - Alfred Tennyson

"In the name of truth, i, whilst living, have conquered the universe" Johann Wolfgang Goethe (from Faust)

"Knowing is not enough; we must apply....Willing is not enough; we must do" - Johann Wolfgang Goethe

"Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake" - Napoleon Bonaparte

"Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake" - Napoleon Bonaparte
I also found that quote attributed to several other chaps:
"Gentlemen, when the enemy is committed to a mistake we must not interrupt him too soon." - Horatio Nelson
Something's going on here... Napoleon definitely said it, but the quote has been bashed about a bit.

"If you're going to be crazy, you have to get paid for it or else you're going to be locked up." - Hunter S. Thompson

And a bunch by Stephan Fry:
"I don't need you to remind me of my age. I have a bladder to do that for me"
"I get an urge, like a pregnant elephant, to go away and give birth to a book."

"We are looking for an apartment (in Paris). If we don't find anything, then I'll probably just buy the hotel."

hahha nice Unit, but to be honest i don't think Napoleon had read anything about Nelson...for the same reason he had never read anything about Wellington. He thought he was the best, and with an ego like that you wont get very far lol

"Democracy... is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder; and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequals alike." - Plato
