SOME FAVORITE QUOTES

[R.A. Rifleman]

One of my favorites from No Country for Old Men

Ellis: Whatcha got ain't nothin new. This country's hard on people, you can't stop what's coming, it ain't all waiting on you. That's vanity.

At a White House dinner for Nobel Laureates:
"This is the greatest collection of minds except for those occasions when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."
John Kennedy

You'll notice by the numbers that some are missing and trust me when I say that they were the funniest and at the same time saddest and stupidest. I had to delete them because they were quotes that from people that we are not allowed to mention. It's a good rule but sometimes...just some times you'd like to take a poke at them anyway. Bitin' my tongue here but I'm a rules guy to the bitter end.


1. Question: If you could live forever, would you and why?

Answer: "I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to
live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever."
---Miss Alabama in the 1994 Miss USA contest

2. "Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kid sall over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean
I'd love to be skinny like that but not with all those flies and death and stuff."
---Mariah Carey

5. "Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life."
---Brooke Shields, during an interview to become spokesperson for a federal anti-smoking campaign.

6. "I've never had major knee surgery on any other part of my body."
--Winston Bennett, Univ. of KY basketball forward


8. "We're going to turn this team around 360 degrees."
---Jason Kidd, upon his drafting to the Dallas MavericksYou'll notice by the numbers that some are missing and trust me

"stop telling lies about us, and we'll stop telling the truth about you."

josef goebbels

Couldn't give it a like, on the off-chance that Goebbels really said that. Sounds more like a Trump campaign reply.

War is when the government tells the people who the enemy is.
Revolution is when the people figure it out on their own.

"If I had known I would be around so long I would have taken better care
of myself." I don't know who said it, but it should have been me.

Actually, if I remember correctly from my father's telling me, it was Mickey Mantle, and it made perfect sense. His male ancestors had all died early, and he honestly didn't expect to live long.

I always found the worst combination to be stupid and arrogant. These are the ones that insist on leading and deciding even when they are wrong time after time, after time.
