One of my favorites, from the movie Conan the Barbarian:
“Conan, what is best in life?”
his reply:
“Crush ya enemies, see dem driven before you… and to hear da lamentation of da women!”
I’ll tell y’all, I think I missed my calling. Should’ve been a barbarian.
Although I am a big Winston Churchill fan I will contribute one from the ROCK.
“Your Best? Losers always whine about trying thier best. Winners go home and
f___ the prom queen!”
And one from Dick Marchinko from his great life story:
“You get paid for the results not the efforts”
While more of a compression of one of the four noble truths that a quote…still one of my favourites…
“Suffering is caused by desire. Desire is caused by existence”
~ Buddha
“I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.” - Isoroku Yamamoto (Quote After Pearl Harbor)
“You get paid for the results not the efforts”
This is the only justice. Since nobody is created equal, nobody has it equal in efforts either. Some just breeze through homework, others have to invest 10 times the energy to have…results.
Like an Engineer said:
How do you call the bottom-of-the-class graduate? Engineer!*
- To make matters even funnier, 20 years later, the richest Engineers from that promotion were…the bottom-of-the-class graduates.
HA!
hedo, its “doing” their best.
“There is no try. Do, or do not.”
- Yoda
“Release the hounds.”
-Mr. Burns
One could write a history of science in reverse by assembling the solemn pronouncements of highest authority about what could not be done and could never happen.
Robert A. Heinlein
The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive.
Robert A. Heinlein
Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.
Robert A. Heinlein
Yield to temptation. It may not pass your way again.
Robert A. Heinlein
You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don’t ever count on having both at once.
Robert A. Heinlein
As you may have guessed I’m a bit of a Heinlein fan.

Just wanted to add a Clint Eastwood line from Pink Cadillac:
“I’m a big believer in gun control; if there’s a gun around, I want to be the one controlling it…”
Saw it in Men’s Journal and damn if it wasn’t funny…
“For those of us that fight for it Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know” written on a rations box in vietnam by unknown soldier.
“Though I walk through the valley of death I shall fear no evil…for I am the baddest mother fucker in the valley” Same as above.
