Delusion - There is no greater joy than soaring high on the wings of your dreams, except maybe the joy of watching a dreamer who has nowhere to land but in the ocean of reality. Failure - When your best just isn't good enough. Irresponsibility - No single raindrop believes it is to blame for the flood. www.demotivators.com |

"Nightfall does not come at once, neither would depression. Note every moment and adjust responsibly." Ola.Olabimpe "The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become."- Charles DuBois "People… especially people in positions of power, have invested a tremendous amount of effort and time to get to where they are. They really don't want to hear that we're on the wrong path that we've got to shift gears and start thinking differently.”- David Suzuki "Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character." — Albert Einstein "Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense." — Gertrude Stein "Life is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel." — Horace Walpole "Did you win silver or lost gold? Life is all about how you want to see things "- Ola.Olabimpe |

My favorites - "Love thy neighbor - and if he happens to be tall, debonair and devastating, it will be that much easier. " - "A woman in love can't be reasonable - or she probably wouldn't be " - "Don't keep a man guessing too long - he's sure to find the answer somewhere else. " Mae West - "If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative" - "I'm not afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens." Woody Allen - "A man's face is his autobiography. A woman's face is her work of fiction." - "America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between." - "Man is a rational animal who always loses his temper when he is called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason." - "Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about. " - "In America the young are always ready to give to those who are older than themselves the full benefits of their inexperience. " Oscar Wilde - "All murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets." - "Never argue at the dinner table, for the one who is not hungry always gets the best of the argument. " - "It is an infantile superstition of the human spirit that virginity would be thought a virtue and not the barrier that separates ignorance from knowledge" - "Men use thought only to justify their wrong doings, and employ speech only to conceal their thoughts." - "An ideal form of government is democracy tempered with assassination." - "Behind every successful man stands a surprised mother-in-law.

Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition. Timothy Leary Bachelors know more about women than married men do. If they didn't, they'd be married too. Henry Louis Mencken A woman, especially if she has the misfortune of knowing anything, should conceal it as well as she can. Jane Austen Beauty: That power by which a woman charms a lover and terrifies a husband. Ambrose Bierce: The Devil's Dictionary {Life and Death} While farmers generally allow one rooster for ten hens, ten men are scarcely sufficient to service one woman. Giovanni Boccaccio Men like to pursue an elusive woman like a cake of wet soap -- even men who hate baths. Gelett Burgess Were there no women, men might live like gods. Thomas Dekker Woman inspires us to great things, and prevents us from achieving them. Alexandre Dumas There's a difference between beauty and charm. A beautiful woman is one I notice. A charming woman is one who notices me. John Erskine Anatomy is destiny. Sigmund Freud A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never her age. Robert Frost {Law and Politics} Women make love for love, men make love for lust. Derrick Harge {Love and Hate} A man is as good as he has to be, and a woman is as bad as she dares. Elbert Hubbard {Vice and Virtue} A woman may very well form a friendship with a man, but for this to endure, it must be assisted by a little physical antipathy. Friedrich Nietzsche If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning. Aristotle Onassis A bachelor is a selfish, undeserving guy who has cheated some woman out of a divorce. Don Quinn {Love and Hate} Flirting is the gentle art of making a man feel pleased with himself. Helen Rowland {Love and Hate} When God created two sexes, he may have been overdoing it. Charles Merrill Smith There are really not many jobs that actually require a penis or a vagina, and all other occupations should be open to everyone. Gloria Steinem {Success and Failure} Men mistake friendship, but not sex, for love; women mistake sex, but not friendship, for love. Peter Wastholm You come out of a woman and you spend the rest of your life trying to get back inside. Heathcote Williams A woman never forgets the men she could have had; a man, the women he couldn't. If the effort that went in research on the female bosom had gone into our space program, we would now be running hot dog stands on the moon. |

Re: Short, Witty Quotes! by SeanT21(f): 8:09am On Oct 13, 2008 |
I did not know who Oscar Wilde was until I read some quotes here. I went and searched for more, Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much. If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you. Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone elses opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. A man can't be too careful in the choice of his enemies. When good Americans die they go to Paris. Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people. |
