WitawatWatawit Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Don Chipp, who you should remember Kris, came out with a great saying when his new party won its first seat in the senate in Australia in 1978. When asked about how he felt holding the balance of power, Chipp famously said: "We'll keep the bas tards honest." I've held that saying to my heart ever since. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noahvail Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further. -various You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality. -Ayn Rand Where there is evidence, no one speaks of faith. We do not speak of faith that two and two are four, or that the Earth is round. We only speak of faith when we wish to substitute emotion for evidence. -Bertrand Russell I've had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn't it. -Groucho Marx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgrahmm Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) "Success: To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!" —Ralph Waldo Emerson on Success "Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet." —Ralph Waldo Emerson on Thoughts "Happiness is a perfume which you cannot pour on someone without getting some on yourself." —Ralph Waldo Emerson on Happiness Sorry for the copy and paste - I never did find the one I was looking for.....At one time I had his complete works (still have) and thought I understood/grasped them pretty well - they say that no man is completely educated until he understands the works of RWE....sadly, it's been years since I last re-read his genius.... After reading some of these quotes and remembering the illuminating essays and observations - I need to revisit my friend RWE..... Thanks for starting this thread.....

StreetCowboy Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Life is like a cucumber; just when you think you've got it in your hand, it's up your arse. i was told that is only two words in Turkish, but I am sceptical on that latter point. It's not really an expression I've ever found relevant or helpful, either SC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
