Well, sometimes I feel like having a good phrase at my sig or my messenger.
I see very good phrases time to time, but when I want it, I never remember it.
I'll post some I can remember and you can follow up.
While playing Counter-Strike, someone once said
" The impatient don't see headshots" and I liked it.
My friend once had this in his sig. I think someone else said this, but I'm not sure now...
"But If Knowledge is power, Know this is Tyranny."
I know there are a lot of better phrases there, so I want to learn more.
Post em. 
"every breath you use is one less for my car"
my friend said that yesterday and it made me laugh, probably the wizest thing ever said in my opinion.
"Trying is the first step toward failure."
-Homer Simpson
"It's better to be pissed off than pissed on."
-Name withheld
"Shit Happens"
I love this phrase and i love even more using it in the apropriate context. Its inventor?? Maybe Forest Gump lolololollol 
hi all
my favourite response/phrase is:
"shall i pretend i'm interested or are you ok just rambling?"
had mymates in tears first time i used it!!! and its also really effective and shutting the person up!!! lol
another good one is:
"are you as think as confused i am?"
it just annoys people and makes them stop and think for a while!!!
I can't take credit for this:
.=The World Will Still Be Broken Tomorrow=.
I find it the best to use part of the some song's lyric that has deep meaning to it.
I've got a million of those things, most of which were written by me. Even more of which kind of suck.
You can't buy peace. Don't spend live, save lives.
Since can prove anything, but that doesn't make it true.
The devil's in the details, that's why I do all that I can to neglect them.
For example.
My favorite phrase is as folows
Accept the things you cannot change,
change the things you cannot accept.
I also like the lines "I don't want my pain taken away, I need my pain!"
And also,
"They're[painful experiences] the things we carry around with us, they're the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves!"
I have three good ones.
Two of my friends had a conversation together, one of my friends asked my other friend "What would you do if someone called you a cracker ?". The friend of mine who was questioned replied "Well the chicks would love me when they're eating soup". I just love that one.
I forget where I found this one, but I think it's good. "Knowledge is power. Power corrupts."
The last one I forgot where I've found also, but it's cool. "I'm a few feet from the edge. I haven't relized that a few feet isn't that far down."
Very cool.
- Mike. The truest saying I know:
What's the key to success? Two words: good decisions.
What's the key to good decisions? One word: experience.
how do i get experience? Two words: bad decisions.
Applicable to work and life in general!
I like "Knowledge is Power. Power corrupts. Study hard, be evil!" My friend has it on her fridge.
And long that line: "Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of neat."
I have no idea who said those, though. But on a more serious note, I'm particularly fond of the following.
"To see a World in a Grain of Sand,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an hour."
(William Blake, Auguries of Innocence)
"And the earth was without form, and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep."
(read in Takashi Matsuoka's Cloud of Sparrows)
I'm also particularly fond of the poems "If" by Rudyard Kipling, and "Desiderata" by Max Ehrmann.
If-> http://www.swarthmore.edu/~apreset1/docs/if.html
Desiderata-> http://www.fleurdelis.com/desiderata.htm 'Don't hit a man with Glasses, Hit a man with a baseball bat.'
"Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heav'n" - from Paradise Lost
"I know you have come to kill me. Shoot, coward, for you are only going to kill a man." - last words of Che Guevara

"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."
"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction."
"There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness."
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
"Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before."
"It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not. "
"We hate some persons because we do not know them; and we will not know them because we hate them."

Er is that a quote or are you refering to my post? If so those are all official quotes said by some of the most smartest men or women both alive and dead, so that is how they choose to spell it, though I do admit some of them are worded a little odd 
sound like a quote to me. . . Im going to look up some good geroge carlin or chris rock quotes and put them in here
i found a quote i liked in my agenda once.. used it as my sig for a while..
"You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great."
"There's no life without humour. It can make the wonderful moments of life truly glorious, and it can make tragic moments bearable."
"Are you Hurt? Do you need an ambulance?"
"How many Dozons of sugar cubes do you need?"
"When you catch a football, you catch with all your fingers and put all down except your middle finger"
"OMG Im the Team Killing ******!"

they're aiming at the head

they hear something someone said: 'how did it come to this?'" - Streetlight Manifesto

Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.
