This is a fun little room in which you can put various quotes and sayings, whether made by yourself or otherwise (If otherwise then make sure you give credit where it is due!). Any homemade saying or quote posted here is available for public use, so if you want to hang onto it don't post it! That being said I shall enter a saying that I just made about half an hour ago while helping a friend.
"Love needs no reasons, only two people willing to sacrifice anything for each other" -A.N. Davis

These quotes I really find useful;though I know not who said them:
"Whoever said that nothing was impossible obviously never tried to slam a revolving door."
"There is no pleasure in having nothing to do;the fun is having lots to do and not doing it." ( 3nodding )
"I don't suffer from insanity;I enjoy every minute of it." (true,so true)
"When something blows up...and you know it's your fault...RUN LIKE HELL!"
"The voices in my head may not be real,but they have some good ideas!"
"Smile...tomorrow will be worse." (thinking this always makes me feel better when I'm upset)
"A good friend will bail you out of jail;but a best friend would be sitting next to you saying: Damn,that was fun!"
"Some days it's just not worth getting out of bed."
"Always smile;it makes people wonder what you're up to."
"Just remember:If the world didn't suck,we'd fall off."
"Don't get mad:Get even."
"It's only funny until somebody gets hurt....Then it's hilarious."
"There is always one more imbecile than you counted on."
"The right to be heard does not come with the right to be taken seriously."
"Spying is wrong...but only if you get caught."
"I'm free of all prejudices...I hate everyone equally."
"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has it's limits."
"A person who has never done anything silly,will never do anything interesting." -George Santayana (Hey,I know who said this! Yay! whee )
"Brave women fear nothing;brave men fear women."
"Everyone is entitled to be stupid;but some abuse the privilege."
"Two things are infinite: the universe,and human stupidity;and I'm not so sure about the former." -Albert Einstein (Yay! Another one I know! whee )
"When you have no idea what they're saying,just smile and pretend you do." (that's what I've always said! 3nodding )
"Every time you start feeling like working,take a seat until that freaky sensation dies."
"There are three kinds of people in the world: Those who make things happen; those who watch things happen; and those who wonder what the hell happened."
"Excessive firepower: the next best thing to being right."
And my personal favourite:
"Without imagination...there would be no sanity."

"We are the makers of the music; we are the dreamers of the dreams." - Willy Wonka
(I don't remember if he actually said that in Roald Dahl's book, but I love that quote from the original movie.)
"Ah, music! A magic beyond all we do here!" - Albus Dumbledore (so I guess technically J.K. Rowling)
"I contemn the dust of which I am made, this dust that speaks to you now. It can be persecuted, it can be brought to death, but I challenge the world to take from me that part of me which will live on through the centuries and survive in the skies." - Louis Antoine Leon de Saint-Just (L'Ange de la Mort de la Revolution Francaise)
"I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility on every form of tyranny against the mind of man." - Thomas Jefferson
"Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night." - Edgar Allan Poe
"If you have not done things worthy of being written about, at least write things worthy of being read." - Giacomo Casanova
"[...] it is not any of the nouns. The miracle is the adverbs, the way things are done." - Daniel Handler
"To hell with reality! I want to die in music, not in reason or in prose. People don't deserve the restraint we show by not going into delirium in front of them. To hell with them!" - Louis-Ferdinand Celine
"It's not about being good. It's about being great." - band director
And now, a bit of silliness -
"GOD IS NOT LIKE WALMART." - camp counselor
"'...he wanted to carry her into the apartment, tie her down on the bed, and put his hand on that knee all night long.' God, what's wrong with this guy? How does he go from *KINKY* to not so quickly?!" - AP English teacher
"'...she reached between the flowers and his cocktail.' Doesn't that sound kinky to you?" - AP English teacher
[After a girl asked what they did with amputated limbs during the Civil War because they'd smell bad if they just sat around and rotted.]
"Well, they probably burned them. I mean, they'd still smell bad, but you'd have that nice, woodsy smell, too, like, 'Ooh, marshmallows!'" - AP US History teacher

That's a smart one. I'm not sure if I fully agree, but it's a nice thought.

Here's a thought:
"Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."
Thought I know not who said it first,I've heard it from a lot of people;my mother being the most recent.
