    Great quotes by great men.

    Thought this would be a neat thread to start: Posting quotes that you have made you laugh, inspired you, or are just interesting. Here's my first one:




    Al Bundy on "What is Retirement"
    "It's what men do when they die and what women do when they marry."
    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.
    Thomas Jefferson

    Light a man a fire - he'll be warm for the night. Set a man on fire - he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

    Cant remember where I heard that.
