It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, 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.

A long way of saying fuck of to your critics I think - but eloquently said anyway.

Eminem’s a genious. He wrote something on his first album that went like this,

“What are friends? Friends are people who you think are your friends but they’re really your enemies. With secret identities in diguises to hide their true colors. And just when you think you’re close enough to be brothers they want to cut your throat when you ain’t lookin. What’s money? Money is what makes a man act funny. Money is the root of all evil. Money will make them same friends come back around swearin’ that they was always down.”

Here’s another one from Eminem.
“My name is Marshall Mathers and I’m an alcoholic. I gotta disease and they don’t know what to call it. Better hide your wallet cause i’m comin’ to strip your cash. Bought a ticket to your concert just to come in whoop your ass.”

“the sole end for which mankind is warranted in interfering with the liberty of action of any their number is self-protection. Power may be rightfully exercised over a person, against his will, only to prevent harm to others. His own good, physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant. Over matters concerning only himself, every person is sovereign.”


1859 John Stuart Mill, ON LIBERTY.

So you liked Sarah’s line in “Cruel Intentions”? What about the one from “Not Another Teen Movie” -

No, too much information would be telling you that afterward I always take a big, steaming dump on his chest.

I didn’t read thtough all of the responses so someone may have given this one to you already. This is along the lines of the quote in your original post: During the surprise counter-attack by the Chinese in the Korean War, General Chesty Puller was told that his 1st Marine Division was surrounded and cut-off by something like 8 Chinese divisions. Upon hearing this news, he reportedly replied, “Good, now we can shoot in any direction!” Chesty Puller is one of the truly greatest T-men in history. In the Banana wars of the 1920s he would flush out snipers for his Marines by walking in the open and drawing fire and then pointing out where the sniper fire came from so his men could return fire. During WWII, Marine untis under his command suffered 80% casualty rates among the officer corps because of he demanded that his officers lead Marines in the same manner he did… from the front. Also, the story of the First Marine Division fighting its way back to the sea in Korea is truly amazing. Everyone, and I mean everyone, outside of those Marines in the First Division wrote them off as an entire Division lost. Instead, they destroyed or badly wounded several of the Chinese divisions which had surrounded them and broke through the trap to freedom, taking their dead, wounded and equipment with them.

I don’t know where these came from but here are some of my favorites…

Don’t justify today and you won’t have to rectify tomorow.

Life is short and hard like a bodybuilding elf.
What is real is not important, what’s perceived is what’s important.

This is gonna hurt(said just prior to kicking someones ass).

Average is your enemy.
Ok is the biggest drug in the world,Ok suggests that things aren’t bad enough to do something about the situation yet they aren’t at the level you’d like.
The only thing you have to give up to get what you really want is your story about why you can’t have it.
Wishing is a waste of time,make it happen.
Accept this, the past is over, the future hasn’t happened yet, the power is in now.
If it tastes good spit it out.

Ha ha ha ha, yeah nigga
Time to ride
Grab your bullet proof vest nigga cause its gon’ be a long one
Now me and Quik gonna show you niggas what its like on this side
The real side
Now on this ride there’s gonna be some real mothafuckas and there’s gonna be some pussies
Now the real niggas are gonna be the ones with money and bitches
The pussies gonna be the niggas on the floor bleeding
Now everybody keep your eyes on the prize cause the ride gets tricky
See you got some niggas on your side that say they your friends but in real life, they your enemies
And then you got some mothafuckas that say they your enemies
But in real life they eyes is on your money
See enemies’ll say they true
But in real life them niggas will be snitches
Its a dirty game y’all
Y’all got ta be careful about who you fuck with and who you don’t fuck with
Cause the shit get wild y’all
Keep your mind on your riches baby
Keep your mind on your riches
Picture perfection
The object of a nigga affection
Partners of passionate sex
A place to put my erection
Fantasies of you in submission
Freaky positions
Pushing, pulling and twisting, I’m on a mission got me on a mad
Drive the dick
You were screaming when I did
Steady yelling out spots for me to hit
And aww shit
Soon as I seen her so explain how ??
Want a freak like me
Fuck a dinner up and down
It’s the object
Side to side
Make you holla out my name when a thug nigga ride
Can I come inside
Say u don’t feel it
That’s a lie
You just scared to give this penitentiary dick a try
Caught your eye, when I walked by
I said hi
But you were so shy
I can’t lie
Damn near stuttered when you walked by
You want me to lick it and even worse
Got your heart set on me going first
And that ain’t no fair exchange

I think the really smart people never say a thing on record. That way nobody has anything to throw back at them. Just look at the Queen mum she gave one interview in the 1930’s and that was it. On her death she was the most loved person in Britian??? Also look at Stalin the equal of Hitler. While Hitler was always ranting he ever wrote a book! Stalin never said a thing. In history’s eyes Stalin is held much higher than Hitler (not saying much!) because people had nothing he said to throw back at him.

John, I really liked that quote. Where’d you get it? Here is my contribution to the list–I saw it in an ad in an old bb magazine: “Today: freeweights; tomorrow: minivans.”

Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy-Benjamin Franklin

“The truth is, If you ask me to choose between winning the Tour de France and cancer, I would chose cancer. Odd as it sounds, I rather have a title of cancer survivor than winner of the Tour, because what it has done for me as a human being, a husband, a son, and a father.” ~ LANCE ARMSTRONG
