I remember one particular quorte from a book on bar hopping and mongering in Thailand which I often tell when drinking:-

"Sometimes I feel that my only purpose in life is to be an example to others of not how to live theirs"

I am sure someone really famous is behind this - Who is the question?

Another famous quote I like is from the Rangers Corp during the Korean conflict:-

"I see see it all, she loves another. I'll have my revenge I'll f*ck another"

Think It Was Dustin Hoffman

"I Pay Them To Leave In The Morning"

Maybe A Few Bm Would Agree With This ?

I think from the same 2 people,

"Winston,if you were my Husband,I would poison your Coffee"
"Madam,if you were my wife,I would drink it!"

I believe the correct quote is: Work is the curse of the drinking class.

And the comment about paying the woman to go away in the morning was from an italien race car driver. I happen to have watched the TV interview on which he said it. It ws related to the Heidi Fleisch Hollywood Madam scandel, and he was one of the few customers that was willing to come forward. Of course, Dustin Hoffman could have said it too.

Who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?

If I held you any closer I would be on the other side of you!

Why should I care about posterity? What's posterity ever done for me?

Women should be obscene and not heard

You've got the brain of a four-year-old boy, and I'll bet he was glad to get rid of it

He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot.

A woman is an occasional pleasure but a cigar is always a smoke.

Why was I with her? She reminds me of you. In fact, she reminds me more of you than you do!

I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury

I must confess, I was born at a very early age

came up with some great ones. Here are a few of my favourites:-
"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."

“In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry, and is generally considered to have been a bad move."

“There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”

"It is not the fall that kills you. It's the sudden stop at the end."

“Humans think they are smarter than dolphins because we build cars and buildings and start wars etc...and all that dolphins do is swim in the water, eat fish and play around. Dolphins believe that they are smarter for exactly the same reasons.”

Also Douglas Adams..

I love Deadlines.. I love the swooshing sound they make as they pass by..

Of course you right correcting me on the Oscar Wilde above.. Doing it from weak abused brain cells and I let my fingers do the walking.

I like the dolphin quote! It was exactly the way I felt yesterday when I swam 120 lengths (60 laps) of the pool at the ExPat. The longer I swam the easier I got, and I felt I wanted to spend the ret of my life in the water like a dolphn! Hm-m-m, if I only liked to eat raw fish!

This AM at breakfast with BG from last night, I told her how beautiful she is, for the umpteenth time, more beautiful than all the other BGs. Of course, she said "Go hok! and I said "Jing jing!" Then she said, "Rao meuan gan."(we are all the same.) Which brought to mind my quote of the day.............

"We are all but mirrors living in a house of mirrors." (JayBee)

I said that to her. She looked at me like I was crazy! But she made me crazy!

Reminds me of the lyric:
"All the world is indeed a stage and we are merely players, performers and portrayers. Each another's audience outside the gilded cage."

My favorite is what got him kicked off of TV:
in response to a guest on "You Bet Your Life" that said he had 13 children because he loved his wife, Groucho said, "I love my cigar, but I take it out every once and a while."

On the issue of humans and animals, Smual Clemens (Mark Twain) said, "The human being is the only animal that blushes, .....and has need to."
