People Say the Darndest Things

Favorite Words of Wisdom that I have either found to be important, inspiring, funny, ironic, note worthy, or any mix:

"Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future." -JFK
Could this be anymore relevant at the moment? This is something I think many of those childish politicians need to keep in mind. As much as they'd like to think, the world doesn't revolve around them and their agendas. I'm pretty sure every single one of those founding fathers they all love to talk about, have been spinning in their graves over all the nonsense that's been going on. The party system is probably America's biggest enemy.

"You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you...I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full victory.Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking." General Dwight D. Eisenhower; D-Day address
This gives me goose bumps every time I hear or read it, especially when I listed to the radio broadcast while in Normandy. General Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered this speech to a bunch of young men that would be considered my peers today, the morning before the crucial invasion. Can you imagine at 20 or so years old, essentially having the fate of the world on your shoulders? I can barely cook for myself! I feel like the title The Greatest Generation has been capitalized on so much that it is at risk of sounding cliche, but there is really no truer or better explanation of those people.

"Fight 'em 'til Hell freezes over. Then fight 'em on the ice."-Dutch Meyer
Rah Rah TCU!! The little school that could! We keep winning and winning and get no respect...we thought that a Rose Bowl victory over the Wisconsin Badgers would finally shut some people up...nooope. We are still fighting 'em on the ice.




"It is my personal belief that anything and everything concerning the feelings of women are threatening and intimidating" Dan "The Man" Walker
Probably one of the better, not to mention hysterical things, one of my friends has ever said. Daniel Walker; man, friend, soldier...philosopher.

"All pigs are equal, some just more than others"-George Orwell
You can say it's not true, but someone where deep down you know you are lying to yourself. Older generations say our (Gen Y) is spoiled and entitled, but mark my words we will be the ones to change things. We don't have the same issues with race and sexual orientation that our parents' generation does. It's such a non-issues.

"You've got to remember, that these are just simple farmers, these are people of the land, the common clay of the new west. You know . . . morons" Blazing Saddles
A brilliant movie that brilliantly mocks the stupidity of racism, and all around idiotic people. Don't underestimate the morons, they are large in numbers.

"You are only young once, but you can remain immature indefinitely."
This is my personal motto. I couldn't control my laughter while watching Despicable Me...in particular the Fart Gun part.

"I once shot an elephant in my pajamas. how he got into my pajamas i don't know."-Groucho Marx
The world would be a better place if more people watched Marx Brothers movies.







It's always shocking to me that hardly anyone knows some of the most basic, yet important laws of The Constitution. There's a whole lot of people who will talk about it, but can't tell you what's in it. Familiarize yourself, so you don't make stupid decisions. The 1st and 14th Amendments are my "favorites".

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. " 1st Amend.
Except the Muslims...and unfortunately this also means Fred Phelps can still continue his nonsense and hate, but hey, it's the law.

"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." 14th Amend
Except for homosexuals...
