Some things I remember my grandfather saying. Someone needs to write these things down.

"Once you've reached a certain age (say, being alive for 67 years) you learn that the only difference there can be between two men is what they belive in. All the wars, all the suffering, all the murder in the world, is becuase one person belived in something different than another. Makes ya think, doesn't it?"

(speaking about the stimulis bill)"Something I've noticed, historically; if the rich people aren't rich, fat, and happy, then the little people suffer for it, always."

"Son, I hope to hell that you never have to learn this yourself, by expirience, the way I did, but let me tell you, war is hell."

Grampa-"Y'know, they're bailing out these banks and these car compaineis; why not bail out the people who bought the houses and the cars and can't pay for them now? Doesn't that make that much more sense?"

Me-"Well, yeah, but the thing about that is it would take up too much time. You'd have to set up peramiters for rescuing the people, assemble a list of about a million people in order to show that the entire idea has merit, then they'd have to distribute all of it, and there would inevetably be blowback when it's realized that they really mishadled the whole thing, and it would all go to hell. The money needs to be put into the economy now."

Grampa-"Why?"

Me-"...Well, money is...like...I don't know..."

"Something that you have to understand, son; nothing ever ends. Ever."

"Son, you're one of the sharpest people I've ever met (I was nine at the time), and that's saying something. Just be careful not to cut yourself with that brain of yours."

Sidebar: I belive I failed miserably in that eneavor, but I think he's proud that I did it on my own terms.

"Something I've noticed about history; there are two types of villans. There are the guys who are on the other side, and pose a threat to you and the people you care about, and there are the people on your side who are willing, in times of peace will make themselves out to be the bad guys. Y'know, I always admired people like that. People need a bad guy; they need to be able to point at someone and say, 'People like this are everything that are wrong with the world.' You've got to admire someone who loves his country enough that he's willing to become a villan for it."

More as I think of them.

Haha, the t-shirt I'm wearing now says that.

" Never trust anyone who doesn't smoke pot or listen to Bob Dylan.
Never trust anyone who doesn't like the beach.
Never, EVER, EVER trust anyone who says they don't like dogs!
You meet someone who doesn't like dogs you alert the authorities IMMEDIATELY and you sure as SHIT don't MARRY THEM!"

Close air support covereth a multitude of sins

everything is air droppable at least once

If violence wasnt yout last resort you failed to resort to enough of it

mockery and derision have their place..usually its on the far side of an airlock

the bigger the smile the sharper the knife

do unto others

a soft answer turneth away wrath.Once wrath is looking the other way,shoot it in the head

Your name is in the mouth of others. make sure it has teeth

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Take his fish away and tell him he's lucky just to be alive, and he'll figure out how to catch another one for you to take tomorrow.

Don't be afraid to be the first to resort to violence.

A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go.

Only cheaters prosper

If you?re leaving scorch-marks, you need a bigger gun.

When the going gets tough, the tough call for close air support.

That which does not kill you has made a tactical error.

Pillage, then burn.

and finally the last one for this post and my personaly favorite. there is no such thing as overkill. there is only open fire and time to reload

all quotes from the webcomic schlock mercenary. i reccomend it its awesome

Basically, your grandfather seems very wise and smart, looking at these quotes. Wisdom doesn't always come with age but it obviously has done here. I'd quite like to hear a few more of his quotes if you can think of any more...

I was looking at some of my Winston Churchill quotes, and I thought to myself, "Y'know, Grampa's said at least a few things as intelegent as that. I should put those things up here just for that sake.

That's not to say that all the quotes on here are unworthy of being mentioned, but a great quote doesn't nessecarally have to come from a great man.

But you didn't come to hear me say that crap, you came to read more Grampa-quotes! And Heeeeeeeere they aaaaaaaaarrrrreeeeeeee!

"Something I hope you learn quick, son...it's easier to learn from the mistakes of others than it is to learn from your own, if you know how to do it."

"A flag isn't something worth fighting for; a flag is a pretty piece of cloth, that's all. I'm not gonna fight for a piece of cloth, even if some mook says that Jesus was wrapped in it. No, what it is is those pretty colors, the stars, the stripes, the red, the blue, and the white...they stand for something. They stand for America, my country, and as sure as I'm sittin' here, America stands for something. Something, I've always thought, that's worth dying for."

"Y'know what the problem with today's youth is? No respect. Now, I'm sure you probaby hear that a lot, but let me explain; When I think of respect, I think of this guy...Volitare, I think his name was. Anyway, he said, 'I don't agree with what you have to say, but I'll fight to the death for your right to say it.' Where's that? I don't see that anymore. If someone disagrees with someone else, it's always 'Fuck you'. Why? Why can't a guy just have a different opinion than you? No respect, that's why."

Me-"Grampa, what do you think of tourture?"

Grampa-*thinks for a moment* "Well, it's like this son; I remember I was sitting around one day, reading a book; there wasn't much else to do on a boat when there was nothing else to do, so I figured what the hell. Anyway, in this book, this guy is starved, beaten, electrocuted, and nearly broken in half a regular intervals. And do you know what I realized? Tourture can do a lot of things, but the only thing it was meant to do was make a person hurt. Do some of these people deserve it? Hell yeah, I'm sure they do. Do all of them deserve it? Of course not. No one is infallable, especially not the government, so you're likely to have someone in there who's done nothing wrong besides piss some corpral off. But that aside, even if these people deserve it, even if they are genocidal fucktards who want to watch everyone who isn't them die, do we have the right to inflict as much pain and fear in them as we possibly can?

*pause*

Me-"I don't think so."

Grampa-"And why is that?"

Me-"Because we're supposed to aspire to something better than that. Sure, we could beat these guys by dropping to their level, and we could do it quick, but what would the point be."

Grampa-"And that, son, is exactly it."

"I like classical music. It only means what you want it to mean, as opposed to all this music about sex."

"No, I didn't go to college; I didn't finish school, actually, I was too busy working. I was like a lot of people in the military; I served for a few years, got my arm fucked up, and spent a year in the hospital. Sometime while I was in the hospital, I got bored enough to get my GED. They don't tell you that about these solders, do they?"

"Y'know, son, I'm sure that if you listen to me for long enough, you'll learn everything I know. That makes me kind of proud."
