sayings, quotes, etc

Post your favorite quotes, sayings, adages, dirty limericks, etc!

I keep a word file with my favorites. I heard a good one today for the first time:

"time will tell and shit will smell"

here are some of my other favorites. I bet all of you will recognize or have heard some if not all of them.

Ok here is my collection (some have the author credited, some don't, some I might have made up myself or unknowingly ripped off):



"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

"Simplify, then add lightness." -Colin Chapman

"I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move."
-Robert Louis Stevenson

"Faster and faster until the thrill of acceleration overcomes your fear of death" -HST

"Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better. I've always believed this, in spite of the trouble it's caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles" -HST

You live more in five minutes on a bike like that, going flat out, than some people live in a lifetime.

If you don’t follow through on your dreams, you might as well be a vegetable.

It’s not the critic that counts.

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

Bacon and Eggs: A day's work for a chicken, a lifetime commitment for a pig.

How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockleshells,
And one fucking egg plant!
