"Quotes" worth quoting

Wherever you go, there you are.

“Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach. Those who can do, can’t teach.”

“Life is incurable and has a 100% mortality rate, Ebola only has a 70% mortality rate”

“The more things change, the more they stay the same”

Found this gem on Wikipedia —

“Massless virtual gluons compose the numerical majority of particles inside hadrons.”

When you understand that statement, you will understand why everything happens as it does. — Or, maybe not.

Haha good one!

One day my wife said to me “what makes you think you are so superior to everyone”. She was kinda upset because I corrected something she said. I replied “I know things most people don’t. That doesn’t make me superior, it just makes me different”. She said “yeah you’re different allright!” LOL

Hi Pipdiddy, unfortunately those 30% who survive ebola eventually keel over from something else… you just can’t win LOL :smiley:

“Never engage in a pissing match with a skunk:
he possesses important natural advantages.”

I don’t have the energy to look through 54+ more pages to see if anyone else used this one (cause I gotta get some sleep before I get qwerty-faced) but I believe it is based on the above TJ quote.
