What is everyone's favorite quote. I don't care what it is, if its a proverb, music lyric, line from a poem, line from a movie, or the words that came out of somebody's mouth. Feel free to post more than one. I'll start.

Hard work and hustle will beat talent when talent won't work hard and hustle.

I just remembered a few of my dad's quotes:

"Wal Mart has the best mechanics minimum wage can buy."

"If you watch your pennies, your dollars will fall into place."

...and this one was after my second time in jail. I seem to get locked up every time the Spurs win the championship.
"I hope Tim Duncan breaks his back and Tony Parker gets traded to the Warriors for their water boy. These championships are getting expensive."

[Blastoderm55]

make your money, don't stop working
you have your future, financial planning
without purpose, like the robots
i have purpose, i won't settle

it's all you love, it's where you've been
it's all you saw, and touch within
it's how you die, it's way you give
well some may love, who really lives?

so make your money, if it keeps you happy
there is no future, when you're just pretty
but if i walk out, and if i walk out
then it's c'est la vie, we'll be history

it's all you love, it's where you've been
it's all you saw, and touch within
it's how you die, it's way you give
well some may love, who really lives?

"....that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." --- excerpt from the Gettysburg Address, Nov 19, 1863 by Abraham Lincoln

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — "---excerpt from the Decaration of Independence

You can't have everything.

Where would you put it?

[District303aPastPlayer]

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

From Crash

Anthony: Look around! You couldn't find a whiter, safer or better lit part of this city. But this white woman sees two black guys, who look like UCLA students, strolling down the sidewalk and her reaction is blind fear. I mean, look at us! Are we dressed like gangbangers? Do we look threatening? No. Fact, if anybody should be scared, it's us: the only two black faces surrounded by a sea of over-caffeinated white people, patrolled by the triggerhappy LAPD. So, why aren't we scared?
Peter: Because we have guns?
Anthony: You could be right.
-----------------------------------

Ria: You want a lesson? I'll give you a lesson. How 'bout a geography lesson? My father's from Puerto Rico. My mother's from El Salvador. Neither one of those is Mexico.
Graham: Ah. Well then I guess the big mystery is, who gathered all those remarkably different cultures together and taught them all how to park their cars on their lawns?

Man In The Glass


When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day,
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say.

For it isn't your Father ,Mother or Wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass...
The fellows verdict that counts most in your life
Is the one starring back from the glass.

Some people might say your a straight shootin chum
And call you a wonderful guy
But the man in the mirror says your only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye

He's the fellow to please never mind all the rest
For he's with you clear to the end
And you've passed your most dangerous test
If the man in the glass is your friend.

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on your back as you pass
But your final reward will be heart ache and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass....

--Dale Wimbrow 1934
