"Watch your weight, for gaining 5 pounds takes an hour of eating, but losing 5 pounds takes a week of hard work."

Here's a new one:

"The only thing worse than doing something bad is doing it again."

"When in a rocking chair you rock, while in a waiting room you wait, when you're about to have an abortion, why not abort your action?"

"He who compares himself to another has no true value, for a man of value does not compare himself to others to find his own worth. Instead, he looks to his own intellect and abilities in order to attain a sense of enlightenment within himself. Only then can wisdom be attained. With wisdom comes value. With value comes respect. Respect is the basis of value for oneself through the eyes of others, however a true man of value articulates his worth through the amount of wisdom he possesses, not the amount of respect he's paid."

-and yes, this is my own quote.

Okay, time for some of my darker quotes:

"One who finds it necessary to point out others' errors in a non-constructive fashion needs a swift kick where the sun does not shine

!"

On somebody playing mind-games with me or insulting me:

"It takes two to play that game. S**** with me and thou shall see my ugly side surface."

If someone's ever called me a b****, which has rarely happened:

"Excuse me, but I'm not just any b****. I'm a royal purebred pedigree b**** who also happened to be the pick of the litter. Don't forget it!"

or

"It takes one to know one."

One more for now:

"Ignorance and stupidity are two very different things. To be stupid is to have a cognitive impairment of which the individual cannot control, whereas ignorance is an individual's reluctance to have an open mind and learn something. This being the case, the vast majority of those who are called 'stupid' are actually ignorant."

A qoute of my own. I haven't actually used aloud though.

"They say ignorance is bliss, but knowledge is power, so I say it's best to have a balance of the two!"

Amaranthine · **Reply #31 on:** August 02, 2009, 03:10:50 PM

Ignorance is bliss, knowledge is triumphant joy!

Two more quotes which I used in chats:

Quote

Many people talk about half full or half empty glasses, but does anyone ever think of drinking up, no matter how high the glass is filled?

Quote

Some people are likely to commit suicide for fear of death.

Pangaea · **Reply #33 on:** August 03, 2009, 12:30:38 AM

Hmm...I like this thread. Great quotes, everyone!

I've got some quotes of my own I'd like to submit, but at this moment I can only think of one that's not in my signature already.

This is what I say to people when they tell me I'm cynical:

Quote

An optimist is right or wrong; a pessimist is right or pleasantly surprised.

Dash The Longneck · **Reply #34 on:** August 03, 2009, 08:31:08 AM

These are ones I think I came up with.................... but they might just sound to good for someone like me to come up with. But, I have never heard of these ones before.

1. "My imaginary friends think you're crazy"

2. "Some people believe they were put on the earth to be a gift from god. If that's the case, god should have kept my receipt".

Pangaea · **Reply #35 on:** January 11, 2010, 11:33:24 AM

Here’s another quote of mine, formerly from my signature, broken down and analytically explained for the benefit of anyone interested.

Quote from: Pangaea on

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but flattery will get you nowhere. So what could I possibly gain from deliberately copying your ideas?

The first half of this quote, rather obviously, plays with two idioms regarding flattery, basically making fun of the first one (which I have heard described as “a crock of crap”: a verdict I agree with). I have a dry sense of humor, tend to be literal, but also find sarcasm funny, so I find this sort of thing amusing.

The second part relates to a more serious concern of mine. A peculiar thing I’ve noticed is that I often brainstorm an idea for LBT (usually relating to fanfiction), and later find out that someone else has independently come up with the same idea. :blink: I really, really hate plagiarism, and would never deliberately steal someone else’s idea for my own benefit, so the statement is basically there to tell people, “If I’ve got the same idea as you, it’s a coincidence. Why would I copy it, when I consider imitation pointless?”

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #36 on:** January 11, 2010, 01:20:18 PM

Time for an update!

This is one I like when I used to be heavier whenever someone called me fat in a mean fashion:

"I may be fat, but you're ugly and I can always diet!"

I may be on the small side now, but I tell heavier friends that one whenever they get upset about someone commenting on their weight, and they like it alot

.

On the note of being made fun of or judged, I came up with the following:

"Your existence must be terribly boring if you've got nothin' better to worry about than what I'm doin'."

This was good especially in high school, when the troublemakers would tease me for "not having a life". If getting high/drunk and getting lucky is considered havin' a life, I'd definitely rather not have one

:.

Some more of mine:

"It is better to do your own thing and worry for just a moment what others will think than it is to go with the flow and constantly worry about what others will think."

"It's a waste of time to worry about what others think. They don't do it too often!"

"Shallow minds talk about people, decent minds talk about events, and brilliant minds talk about ideas."

"Wow, all my quotes in this thread are really stupid."

Littlefoot1616 · **Reply #38 on:** January 13, 2010, 07:19:41 AM

Wow! Aren't we all philosophical buggers!

May as well add a few of my own

When visiting a distant land you need only know two phrases in any language:
1. How much is it? and 2. My friend here will pay for it

Here's a few my dear old grandmother often preaches to me. Carribbean sayings:

"It's not one time monkey want wife"

"Patient man ride donkey"

"If you want to bend a tree, best do it while it's young"
