Quotes of great honor

[The_Chief]

I'm redoing my room, well, designing my new room, and i have decided to write quotes on one of the walls. Just a bunch of quotes. so i figured i'd come here, where the majority of us are intelligent, and ask for some quotes that would make my wall seem like it should be a museum. Or a motivational picture. so please contribute with any quotes you think are awesome.

 

[Amethyst Wind]

"Yes, Mrs. Braddock, I am drunk. But you, Mrs. Braddock are ugly, and disgustingly fat. But, tomorrow morning, I, Winston Churchill will be sober."

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
-Anton Chekhov


Death is a very dull, dreary affair, and my advice to you is to have nothing whatsoever to do with it.
-W. Somerset Maugham

Funny quote:
Incredible! Using your brain, and all the hurdles that implies, you have correctly identified a piece of the Vault key.
-Patricia Tannis

 

[Aris Khandr]

"Somehow I can't believe there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secret of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C's. They are Curiosity, Confidence, Courage, and Constancy and the greatest of these is Confidence. When you believe a thing, believe it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably."

- Walter Elias Disney

 

[Kaboose the Moose]

"I do this for Aiur" - Dark Templar

 

[Sinclair Solutions]

My favorite inspirational quotes come from Theodore Roosevelt.

"Friends, I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible. I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose." (No, seriously. He was shot in the chest (the speech in his glasses case slowed down the bullet, but not enough for it to not penetrate his chest), and then gave a 90 minute speech.)

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

But really, there are just so many great quotes out there.

 

[GenericAmerican]

Choose silence among all virtues, for by it you learn others imperfections and hide your own.

 

[Just_A_Glitch]

Perhaps my favorite quote ever.

"The day will come when, after harnessing space, the winds, the tides, and gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of love. And, on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire." Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Or, if you're going for funny, here's one from Spaced.

"In 1994 while on weekend manoeuvres in France, I commandeered a Chieftain tank without the permission of my immediate superiors. I then attempted to invade Paris. However, en route I stopped off at Disneyland Paris, or Eurodisney as it was then called, and was subsequently apprehended on Space Mountain." - Mike Watt
