Quotes anyone?

[Mr.Bride]

Y'all have any good quotes? I have a few from different folks.

"The devil can counterfeit all the saving operations and graces of the Spirit of God"~Author Unknown

"Mystery is but another name for our ignorance; if we were omniscient, all would be perfectly plain"~Author Unknown

"The criterion of beauty is , that it increases on examination; if false, it lessens. There is therefore something in true beauty that corresponds with right reason, and not mere creation of fancy"~Leaves of Gold

On a lighter note:
I like to invent one-liner puns to see if people are paying attention, or to check for a similar sense of humor. For example:
"He's not the sharpest bulb in the drawer"....." One man's junk is another man's garbage"
"If there's anything I can't stand, its intolerance" ..." If everyone was right, there'd be no one left" ...just to name a few

And one I came up with 15 years ago (you may have heard it since)....." Its not rocket surgery" cheers

[Risen Angel]

"A shaping stone, to make us; a testing ground to prove our worth; and a punishment for the sin." - Aiel on the Three Fold Land (Robert Jordan)

"All flesh is grass,
And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field.
The grass withers, the flower fades,
Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it;
Surely the people are grass.
The grass withers, the flower fades,
But the word of our God stands forever."

- The Prophet Isaiah

"The arrogance of men never ceases to amaze me. You all think everything has to do with you, and every woman has to desire you." - Min Farshaw (Robert Jordan)

"I came to bloody rescue you. Burn me if I expected to be greeted as if I had come to steal a pie." - Matrim Cauthon (Robert Jordan)
