What's your favorite quote?

It's almost impossible to give a single quote, so I'll throw in three.

Facts bring us to knowledge; but stories can lead to wisdom. – Rachel Remen.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. -- Napoleon Bonaparte

Old age is when your soul wants to dance but your feet want to cry. -- Didge

"Don't sit on cold concrete, you'll get hemorrhoids" by My Mom.

There are just too many wonderful quotes to single out any one as my favorite. I can't.

That said, let me impart one of the most hopeful quotes I know, this from poet and writer Eve Merriam:

"I dream of giving birth to a child who will ask, Mother, what was war?"

"Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things."--George Carlin

Right now, it's this one. Next week, there will be another. I gravitate to what speaks to me at the time.

Dear Rex,

I am currently contemplating with great delight two quotes about dancing...

"If I could tell you what it meant, there would be no point dancing it."             ~ Isadora Duncan

"Those who dance are considered insane by those who cannot hear the music."                                                                  ~ George Carlin

"I'm stronger than your nonsense". By JaNickka

"This too shall pass" 

1.  Paul
Krugman: There are two novels that can change a bookish
fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas
Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a
lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an
emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with
the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

2. "The
man who sets out to carry a cat by its tail learns something that
will always be useful and which never will grow dim or doubtful."

~
Mark Twain

3.  John Kenneth Galbraith: "The modern conservative is
engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that
is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."

OK since reply works for me, Ima answer my own question

“We all know that light travels faster than sound. That's why certain people appear bright until you hear them speak.”   
  ― Albert Einstein

"If you want to battle wits, first you must have some". -Gator Blu 

This came about after someone at a bar kept trying to spar with me. "Mr. Blu" and I weren't married yet and he had never seen me put someone in there place before, and had made a comment about how I won that "battle of wits".
