The Comic book guy. "Best VW EVER!"

 

A few favorites below.

Just look no further than Henry David Thoreau:

"That government is best which governs least. "
"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away."

or Mark Twain:
"Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please. "
"Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest. "
"To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence."
"Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company. "

Or some Edgar Allen Poe:
"Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things that escape those how dream only by night."

But the most appropriate, for your circumstances, is this gem from Twain:

"Don't let school interfere with your education. "

 

My personal fav: "An unexamined life is not worth living." -- Socrates

Others:
"All cats are gray in the dark." -- Benjamin Franklin

"'Tis better to rule in Hell, than serve in Heaven." -- John Milton

"Men do less than they ought, unless they do all that they can." -- ??

"D'oh!" -- Homer Simpson

 

Good enough is not good enough!

 

A smiling face is not necessarily a friendly one.

The best things in life are not things!

"Life" is what happens to you while you're making plans for the future.

The more you learn the more you realize how little you know.

Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die.

Half of wisdom is learning what to unlearn.

Hope for the best - prepare for the worst.

To much of anything is bad for you - including self denial.

Doubt is a fool's best ally, and a Wiseman's worst.

Life is the journey not the destination.

 

Thanks for the responses!

Any others? Any that deal with life? I think I know which one I might go with but it's still a little long.

 

"That's great, I'm gonna go eat mayonnaise"
-Homer Simpson

"Celebrate- we will, cause life is short but sweet for certain."
-Dave

 

Teddy Roosevelt - I think, paraphrased...

"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, although checkered by failure, than to take rank with those spirits who neither gain much nor suffer much, for they live in that gray twilight that knows no victory or defeat."

You probably should find the real quote! But it sums up life pretty well...

Sincerity is king. Once you can fake that you have it made. unknown

The one in my sig is mine, though I'm sure someone else thought of it first.

On this site I read "Only dead fish go with the flow".
