OT: Anyone have any favorite quotes. Here's one "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go."

[LionJim]

With a shout-out to Larry Schultz, who once told me this was his favorite novel: From "All The Pretty Horses," Cormac McCarthy

"Long before morning I knew that what I was seeking to discover was a thing I'd always known. That all courage was a form of constancy. That it is always himself that the coward abandoned first. After this all other betrayals come easily."

 

[Lanz]

Oscar Wilde.

Here's a couple that have stuck with me over the years...

The dumbest guy in the room is the guy in the room who doesn't realize that he's the dumbest guy in the room. - my Dad.

Intelligence lies not in knowing all the answers, but rather in knowing where to find them. - my third grade teacher.

Abandoning one's principles is a cowardly act, one of self-betrayal.

Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, “This was their finest hour.” Winston Churchill

On a cold night, a billionaire met an old poor man outside.

He asked him, "Aren't you feeling cold outside, and you're not even wearing a coat!" The old man replied, "I don't have a coat but I'm used to it.

The billionaire replied, "wait for me. I'll just go home and get you a coat."

The poor man was so happy and said he will wait for him.

The billionaire got to his house and got busy there and forgot about the poor man.

The following morning, he remembered the poor old man and went out to find him but found him dead due to the cold.

The poor old man left a letter saying, "when I had no warm clothes, I had the mental strength to fight the cold, but when you promised to help me, I clinged to your promise and it killed my mental power."

Don't promise anything if you can't keep your promise. It may not be necessary to you, but it could be everything to someone else.

BTW, they are quotations. "Quote" is a verb.

Love the one you're with.

How do you make a small fortune in racing?
Start with a large one.

and remember, “you can’t race your house but you can sleep in your car” -Billy, A2B Motorsports

 

[LionJim]

Do not be daunted by
the enormity
of the world’s grief.
Do justly, now.
Love mercy, now.
Walk humbly, now.
You are not obligated
to complete the work,
but neither are you free
to abandon it.

-Talmud.

It is what it is until it isn't. Then it isn't. But you have to suit up for every game.

 

[Jim from Spicewood]

Words of wisdom from Jeremy Clarkson (Top Gear/Grand Tour):

"Multi-tasking is the ability to screw everything up simultaneously."

"You have city centre pubs where men go to meet girls, not realising that all girls in city centre pubs have thighs like tug boats and morals that would surprise a zoo animal."

There are shantytowns in South Africa that are built better than Renaults!

There are many rules for the elderly in the Highway Code. I have one too, and here it is: get a bloody move on.

Racing cars which have been converted for road use never really work. It's like making a hard core adult film, and then editing it so that it can be shown in British hotels. You'd just end up with a sort of half hour close up of some bloke's sweaty face.
