I love a good quote. Hence this thread.

What are your favourites?

Some of mine are

"I'm lazy. But it's the lazy people who invented the wheel and the bicycle because they didn't like walking or carrying things." - Lech Walesa

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." - Michael Jordan

"Have you ever wondered what hurts the most? Saying something and wishing you hadn't? Or saying nothing and wishing you had?"

WW:'Sons of Scotland, I am William Wallace'
SB:'William Wallace is seven feet tall!'
WW:'Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds, and if he were here, he'd consume the English with fireballs form his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse! I AM William Wallace and I see a whole army of my countrymen here in defiance of tyrrany. You've come to fight as free men. And free men you are. What will you do without freedom? Will you fight?'
SB:'Fight? Against that? No. We will run, and we will live'
WW:'Ei, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live, at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that, for one chance, JUST ONE CHANCE!, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they will never take our FRREEDDOOMM!!
