From my facebook: (lol)
"You either die a hero, or live long enough to be a villian"
-Harvey Dent
"For a century and a half now, America and Japan have formed one of the great and enduring alliances of modern times"
~George W. Bush
"It's not my business to do intelligent work"
~Donald Rumsfeld
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. "

I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.
Thomas Jefferson
“You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends. So, stay out late. Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday. Spend money you don't have. Drink 'til sunrise. The work never ends, but college does..."”
"I was never able to just have three or four beers. One's too many and ten ain't enough."

I am so insulted when Arena Football is compared to the NHL. Look at a picture of Rocket Richard's eyes. A province, a nation, a league, a planet of hockey fans, lives inside those eyes. NOT ONE Arena Football player or fan will EVER have eyes like that. The Stanley Cup playoffs is the best two-month tournament in the world. We have the coolest and most revered trophy. We are unified, passionate, and lovers of life. --John Buccigross
Yzerman is not the youngest, the strongest, nor the fastest, and he was never the biggest. But make no mistake, he is the maximus of gladiators, the man who fights wounded and bleeding, with a heart as large as any lion they spring on him. -- Mitch Albom

"I know this state is divided into two halfs green and blue. And if the truth were to be told I think this state is a lot more green than it is blue..... That's bold."
Definitely not even close to a direct quote, but that was the gist.
"I really don't care about Notre Dame, I only care about the Spartans."
Tom Izzo quote anyone??

I also like the quote in my sig.
It seems to fit this place
"The square is seldom if ever cool ... He is "not with it", that is, he doesn't know "whats happening." But if he manages to figure it out, he moves up a notch to "hip." And if he can bring himself to approve of what's happening, he becomes "groovy." And after that, with much luck and perseverence, he can rise to the rank of "cool."
