I love a good quote. Whether it's a delicately nuanced collection of words uttered by an eccentric genius or simply a clever and hilarious one liner from a Chris Rock live show. It's all good and it's all welcome here.
I'll start. This is one of my favorites for motivation. "Time only points us in the right direction. It will never make you move on your own" -Corey Taylor

Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow.
Women - can't live with 'em, can't be heterosexual without 'em. Both attributed to Homer (not the greek dude, the Simpson dude)

It's better to remain silent and appear stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Eagles may soar high, but weasels don't get sucked into Jet engines. - Unknown.
That awkward moment when your sarcasm is so advanced, you actually look stupid. - Unknown. If your going to be a pig, go the whole Hog. - unknown. A problem shared, is a problem halved. So is the problem yours? Or half of someone else's? - Still unknown. I thought there was light at the end of the tunnel, but it was someone bringing me more work. Also unknown. Accept that somedays you are the pigeon and somedays you are the statue. -You guessed it. Unknown.

Prince Phillip love the ole geezer
After being told that Madonna was singing the Die Another Day theme in 2002: “Are we going to need ear plugs?” To a car park attendant who didn’t recognise him in 1997, he snapped: “You bloody silly fool!” To Simon Kelner, republican editor of The Independent, at Windsor Castle reception: “What are you doing here?” “I was invited, sir.” Philip: “Well, you didn’t have to come.” After accepting a conservation award in Thailand in 1991: “Your country is one of the most notorious centres of trading in endangered species.” To multi-ethnic Britain’s Got Talent 2009 winners Diversity: “Are you all one family?” To President of Nigeria, who was in national dress, 2003: “You look like you’re ready for bed!” To deaf children by steel band, 2000: “Deaf? If you’re near there, no wonder you are deaf.” To a tourist in Budapest in 1993: “You can’t have been here long, you haven’t got a pot belly.” To a British trekker in Papua New Guinea, 1998: “You managed not to get eaten then?” 16 To Atul Patel at reception for influential Indians, 2009: “There’s a lot of your family in tonight.” Peering at a fuse box in a Scottish factory, he said: “It looks as though it was put in by an Indian.” He later backtracked: “I meant to say cowboys.” To Lockerbie residents after plane bombing, 1993: “People say after a fire it’s water damage that’s the worst. We’re still drying out Windsor Castle.” In Canada in 1976: “We don’t come here for our health.” “I never see any home cooking – all I get is fancy stuff.” 1987 On the Duke of York’s house, 1986: “It looks like a tart’s bedroom.” “We go into the red next year... I shall have to give up polo.” 1969. At party in 2004: “Bugger the table plan, give me my dinner!” To a woman solicitor, 1987: “I thought it was against the law for a woman to solicit.” To a civil servant, 1970: “You’re just a silly little Whitehall twit: you don’t trust me and I don’t trust you.”

Over steer is when you hit the wall with the back of the car
Under steer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car Speed is how fast you hit the wall Torque is how far you take the wall with you. Anon |

"The customer is always right"
I only like this one because it's completely the opposite.... And when you've worked in retail, you'll understand.
