Great sayings

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
Any one of the sayings in the movie Pulp fiction does it for me.

Wouldn't want Marcellus turning "Medieval" on me :waterwork Ouch.

With regards the t-shirt above. I always knew being naughty would reap its reward.

Yes, I love it. The sea is everything. It covers seven-tenths of the terrestrial globe.
Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert where man is never alone for he feels life, quivering around him on every side. There is supreme tranquility. The sea does not belong to despots. On its surface iniquitous rights can still be exercised, men can fight there, devour each other there, and transport all terrestrial horrors there.
But at thirty feet below its level their power ceases, their influence dies out, their might disappears.
Ah, sir, live in the bosom of the waters! There alone is independence.
There I recognise no masters! There I am free.
Jules Verne, 20000 Leageus Under The Sea.

 

Got this from OceanSwimer's sig. One of the best quotes I've seen.

 
..Credit where it's due....

Thanks, DiverD.
The quote is from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. of whom Chief Justice Hughes said:

"The most beautiful and the rarest thing in the world is a complete human life,
unmarred, unified by intelligent purpose and uninterrupted accomplishment, blessed by great talent employed in the worthiest activities, with a deserving fame never dimmed and always growing. Such a rarely beautiful life is that of Mr. Justice Holmes."

--He lived an amazing life and maintained enthusiastic and optimistic outlook his entire lifetime.

He also said,
"Death plucks my ears and says, 'Live -- I am coming.' "

Pretty remarkable for a man seriously wounded three times in the Civil War, taught Law at Harvard & served 30 years as Supreme Court Justice. He wrote (among other things) The Book of Common Law.
 
...a Few More good ones...


Been doing my share of reading lately...and of course the good lines are irresistable!

"Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself; but talent instantly recognizes genius…" The Valley of Fear, by Conan Doyle

also by Conan Doyle:

"There are times, young fellah, when every one of us must make a stand for human right and justice, or you never feel clean again." The Lost World

"It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it."
The Hound of the Baskervilles

"It is a lovely thing to live with courage, and die leaving an everlasting fame." --Alexander the Great

"You know that the more magnificent the prospect, the lesser the certainty, and also the greater the passion." -Sigmund Freud
