Quotable Quotes: Just for fun! - 1/16/2005 2:54:21 PM

As I read through everyone's posts I love to catch the quotes that others find to add to their signature. St. Augustine, Mae West, and many others have all been well represented. Being rather new to the group I don't know if something like this has been discussed before but I would be interested in hearing anyone else's "quotable quotes" or writings, humorous or otherwise, taken from historic figures where it may apply to the lifestyle.

I have never considered myself to be particularly "well read" but on the occasion that I do browse the written word I find myself drawn to the classic writers. As such, I have developed a fondness for Shakespeare. I have a book of his complete works and within it I found a sonnet that I would like to share since I thought it was most applicable to this forum.

William Shakespeare - Sonnet 57:

Being your slave, what should I do but tend
Upon the hours and times of your desire?
I have no precious time at all to spend,
Nor services to do, till you require.
Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour,
Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you,
Nor think the bitterness of absence sour
When you have bid your servant once adieu.
Nor dare I question with my jealous thought
Where you may be, or your affairs suppose,
But, like a sad slave, stay and think of naught
Save where you are, how happy you make those.
So true a fool is love that in your will,
Though you do any thing, he thinks no ill.

Since I am such a fan of this sonnet I will be asking erin to commit it to memory for me so I can hear it any time I wish. While it speaks of a man's submission I'm sure I will be able to make an appropriate change to better reflect our relationship.

I can already imagine seeing her eyes rolling into the back of her head! I'm sure the word "bastard" will work its way in there also.

"It's good to be the King!"

Well...I guess I picked a real "dead horse" subject, didn't I? Oh well. If nothing else I really got erin's attention!

BTW...You scare me. I'm beginning to think you work for the government. Either that or you have access to the Batcomputer! Your real name wouldn't be Alfred would it?

I like Winston Churchill for quotes:-

quote:

"Atlee was a modest man, who has much to be modest about."

quote:

"Whenever I feel the need to take some excercise I lie down until the feeling goes away."

quote:

"Golf, is a good walk ruined."

quote:

Lady Astor said to Churchill: "if I were your wife I'd put poison in your coffee"

Churchill replied: "Madam, if I were your husband, I'd drink it"

quote:

Bessie Braddock to Churchill: "Winston, you're drunk!"

Churchill: "Bessie, you're ugly, and tomorrow morning I shall be sober"

I've just been here about a year now and read almost all the posts, and i'm happy to search out the old ones.

This one reminded me of another cute story though I'm pretty sure it wasn't Churchill. So at the cocktail or dinner party the man asks the woman he has just met if she would make love with him for one million dollars. She thinks a moment and says yes. Then he asks if she would do it for twenty dollars. She gets all indignant and says "Of course not. What do you think I am?"
"Madam" he says, "We have already established what you are. Now we are just haggling over price."

My current favorite comes from my beloved wife, who is a historical character in the making:

"...Swear to god, tumbleweeds are an alien lifeform, and they're here to hump my tires!"

Naw.. Alfred's not nearly so well informed. I'd call her Oracle, save for the wheelchair.

It is this belief in a power larger than myself and other than myself which allows me to venture into the unknown and even the unknowable.
--Maya Angelou

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
--Mahatma Gandhi

Courage is not the lack of fear. It is acting in spite of it.
--Mark Twain

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
--Eleanor Roosevelt

That was Churchill too:-

Winston: "Madam, Would you sleep with me for 1m Pounds?"
Unknown woman: "Yes sir, I think i would"
Winston: "Well, how about 1 Pound?"
Unknown woman: "Winston! What sort of woman do you think i am?"
Winston: "Madam, that matter has already been solved. Now we're just bartering over your price."

Another quote attributed to Churchill:-

quote:

Don't talk to me about naval tradition. It's nothing but rum, sodomy and the lash.

Feline,
I have read your journal. What a wonderful variety of thoughts you must have. I imagine you're a very introspective person.

I was going to add more quotes I like, but then I figured it would be more efficient to just add this link to a site with a zillion fun quotes.
