"For it is the lot of some men to be assigned duties about which they may not speak. Such work is not for every man. But those who accept the burdens implicit in this silent labor realize a camaraderie and sense of value known to few. These memories cannot be stolen. They will last always, untarnished, ever better."

When I am gone I hope my wife doesn't sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them.
Me.
Me.
I hope I die peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather, not scared and screaming at the top of my lungs like the passengers in his car.

Lord, please let me be half the man my dog thinks I am.
Lock your wife and your dog in the trunk of your car for 6 hours. When you open the trunk you'll know who loves you most.
If Mamma ain't happy, no one ain't happy.

Madam, If I gave you a million dollars, would you spend the night with me?
Oh yes, Sir, I surely would be very happy to.
Madam, if I gave you 5 dollars would you spend the night with me?
Oh no, Sir. What kind of a girl do you think I am?
Madam, we have already determined that, Now we are just haggling over the price. -Attributed to Geo Bernard Shaw.

We have men of science, too few men of God. We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount. The world has achieved brilliance without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living. If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

"I believe in moderation. I never smoke more than one cigar at a time and I refrain completely from smoking while asleep."
Mark Twain
The best quote of all time came in Huckleberry Finn when Huck was told he would go to hell if he didn't turn in Jim, the runaway slave.
After a little thought, he said:
"All right then, I'll go to hell."
"Leave the gun. Take the canoli." Peter Clemenza

I fell in love with Dorothy Parker in High School. I read everything of hers that I could find. Of course I never met her (she died in 1967) but I feel that I knew her through her writing.
She was known to like a drink (or four). My favorite quote is:
"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me that a frontal lobotomy."
When a lady friend held a door for her and said: "Age before beauty," Dorothy instantly replied: "And pearls before swine." (Take that...)
