Some quotes I also like that I can't source:


They sent my Census form back! AGAIN !!! In response to the question: “Do you have any dependents?" I replied - 12 million ore more illegal immigrants; 3 million crack heads, 42 million unemployable people; 2 million people in over 243 prisons; and 535 more in the US House and Senate. Apparently, this was NOT the answer that they wanted.

"My dog is an Animal"
He takes what other people have earned and chews it up. He sleeps when he wants to, and he breeds every chance he gets. He tears up his own yard when he feels like it. He depends on me for his shelter. He depends on me to give him food. He depends on me to pay for his health care. He is completely loyal, and he attacks on command.

At this time I would like to rephrase my first statement:
"My dog is a Liberal"

I like "Feed your head" from "White Rabbit" by Grace Slick.  The song is about using drugs, but when she says "feed your head' she means we should do other things to empower our brains besides doing drugs/

"Open your mind before your mouth."

This is a very good quote I've never heard before! Definitely my favorite off all the listings on here.

I simply choose the quote " Imperfection is Perfection. "
Beauty is in individuality and unique build up. . . Seriously! Look at Lady Gaga!

These are just a few I like:

The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless. -Rousseau

As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities. -Voltaire

The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them. -Albert Einstein
