(Will Rogers, often quoted by Col. Cooper  me thinks)

"Opposition to the truth is inevitable, especially if it takes the form of a new idea, but the degree of resistance can be diminished- by giving thought not only to the aim but to the method of approach. Avoid a frontal attack on a long established position; instead, seek to turn it by flank movement, so that a more penetrable side is exposed to the thrust of truth. But, in any such indirect approach, take care not to diverge from the truth- for nothing is more fatal to its real advancement than to lapse into untruth."

B.H. Liddell Hart

"Kimbers and Colts are what you show to your friends, Glocks are what you show to your enemies".

Always liked Heinlein and Ray Kroc

"I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. "

"Don't handicap your children by making their lives easy."

"The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. "

All of these are by H.L. Mencken:

An idealist is one who, on noticing that roses smell better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup.
Bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn't they'd be married too.
Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.
Husbands never become good; they merely become proficient.
If a politician found he had cannibals among his constituents, he would promise them missionaries for dinner.
If I ever marry, it will be on a sudden impulse - as a man shoots himself.
Injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is justice.
Love is the delusion that one woman differs from another.
Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.
Men have a much better time of it than women. For one thing, they marry later; for another thing, they die earlier.
Morality is the theory that every human act must be either right or wrong, and that 99 % of them are wrong.
No matter how happily a woman may be married, it always pleases her to discover that there is a nice man who wishes that she were not.
Platitude: an idea (a) that is admitted to be true by everyone, and (b) that is not true.
Puritanism. The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.
Self-respect: the secure feeling that no one, as yet, is suspicious.
The common argument that crime is caused by poverty is a kind of slander on the poor.
The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.
Under democracy, one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule -and both commonly succeed, and are right.
What men value in this world is not rights but privileges.
When women kiss it always reminds one of prize fighters shaking hands.
Women have simple tastes. They get pleasure out of the conversation of children in arms and men in love.

Some people have something to say, others just have to say something.

-Thucydides, the Melian Dialogue.

I am the flail of God. If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you. - Temujin (Genghis Khan)

The essence of life is struggle, and its goal is domination. There are higher goals and deeper meanings, but they exist only within the mind of man. The reality of life is war. - Lovret

“I have a high art, I hurt with cruelty those who wound me”. -Archilochus, 650 B.C.

"Everything has a beginning and an end. Life is just a cycle of starts and stops. There are ends we don't desire, but they're inevitable, we have to face them. It's what being human is all about."  - Jet Black

"Regrets are idle; yet history is one long regret. Everything might have turned out so differently." - Charles Warner

"The point of the story is that you don't stop fighting until the fight is over. You don't need to go down just because you have taken a few hits. As long as you believe you can keep going you will. If you do go down, you are still going to win because you are going to gnaw through his Achilles' tendon and bring him down to where you can rip his head off." - Greg Hamilton

"Rifles are inanimate objects that have no will of their own. As such, they may be used by evil men for evil purposes. While an evil man may not be persuaded by propaganda, he may certainly be corrected by good men with rifles." - Col. Jeff Cooper, USMC Ret.

-Winston Churchill

Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.
- Mark Twain

"It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. "-Theodore Roosevelt

The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.
- Albert Einstein

"If it is true that people turn over in their graves,
then Thomas Jefferson and George Washington
should be sources of perpetual energy."
-- Peter Camejo

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
- John Stuart Mill

Men stumble over the truth from time to time, but most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened.
-- Sir Winston Churchill

He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. When you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

I like this one.

thanks, got some good ones for my stock.
here are a few of  my fevorites:

“Life is a comedy for those who think... and a tragedy for those who feel" - Horace Walpole

"Life isn't Disney bullshit!" - Penn & Teller

"Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe." -Frank Zappa

...With that done, Col. Milley turned to BG Cucolo and said, “A lot of people are going to be hating me and cursing my name tonight.” As I walked away BG Cucolo commented, “That there is a lot more to loving your soldiers than making sure that they always love you.”...

and ,of course:

Gary Johnston: We're dicks! We're reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Film Actors Guild are pussies. And Kim Jong Il is an asshole. Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they fuck too much or fuck when it isn't appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves... because pussies are an inch and half away from assholes. I don't know much about this crazy crazy world, but I do know this: If you don't let us fuck this asshole, we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit!

It is not necessary to understand things in order to argue about them

3. Today's public figures can no longer write their own speeches or books, and there is some evidence that they can't read them either.
-- Gore Vidal
I'd insult you, but you're not bright enough to notice.
I'm trying to imagine you with a personality.
If I want to hear the pitter patter of little feet, I'll put shoes on my cats.
Sarcasm is just one more service we offer.
Whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed.

The trouble with her is that she lacks the power of conversation but not the power of speech.

-- When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.

I like all of the above.  I keep 'em saved.
