There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

That movie is so complex and dense, every time I watch it I see or hear something new. Same with Donnie Darko. Those are the best kind of movies, in my opinion.

My advice to you is get married: if you find a good wife you'll be happy; if not, you'll become a philosopher.

After dropping anchor in Manila bay, Admiral Dewey was on the quarter deck of the battleship Olympia.
He was asked how far his authority went.
He replied,
"My authority reaches as far inland as these flat irons can fire a shell".

(flat iron is an old term for a battleships main guns)

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Calvin Coolidge

A client of mine, who was a retired diplomat, told me of a Winston Churchill quote. He was famous for many. During some peace treaty signings at the end of WWII, a guard passed him a piece of paper. Churchill read it, scribbled something on it and passed it back. Later, it was revealed that the note read:
"Your fly is down!"
He wrote on the note before passing it back:
"When the bird can no longer fly, there's no need to shut the cage!"

This one lady I know was telling me about a body they found yesterday. I said that I believe the way to solve our youth gang problem problem is to create community sponsored programs for them to participate in...

All three?

For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

Sue: "Mick, give him your wallet."
Mick: "What for?"
Sue: "He's got a knife."
Mick (brandishing his own weapon): "That's not a knife. This is a knife."
