    I love reading good quotes, so I thought I'd share a few of my favorites.

    Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk. ~Doug Larson

    Stress is nothing more than a socially acceptable form of mental illness. ~Richard Carlson

    Waste your money and you're only out of money, but waste your time and you've lost a part of your life. ~Michael Leboeuf

    We would frequently be ashamed of our good deeds if people saw all of the motives that produced them. ~La Rochefoucauld

    The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity . ~Dorothy Parker (Thanks, Kaitlin)

    Not too into quotes, but saw one yesterday that I liked: "Experience is a hard teacher. It gives the test first and the lesson after." Vernon Law.

    Far easier to look out a window than looking into a mirror.

    (I don't know where I got it from and I'm sure I'm paraphrasing a bit)

    (insert squeaky lisp voice)

    "I was gonna rip his heart out. I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and vicious, the most ruthless champion there has ever been. No one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No! He's no Alexander! I'm Alexander! I'm the best ever. I'm Sonny Liston. I'm Jack Dempsey. There's never been anyone like me. I'm from their cloth. There is no one who can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want his heart! I want to eat his children!

    A few from one of my favorite movies of all time...

    Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!

    I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

    Well bnb was the person I originally heard/read say it. I'd rather have him in my signature than George Carlin. Maybe it's about time I get a new signature all together, I don't think they're bringing back the Compaq Center.....
