    What a great thread, fun and inspiring. Here are mine:

    "For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." - Sir Winston Churchill

    "The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn't matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark." - Barbara Hall

    "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." - Mahatma Ghandi

    "Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." - Mark Twain

    "I do not believe that the same God that endowed us with sense, reason and intellect has intended us to forego their use." - Gallileo

    A few more Churchill quotes

    Bessie Braddock: “Sir, you are drunk.”
    Churchill: “Madam, you are ugly. In the morning, I shall be sober.”

    Nancy Astor: “Sir, if you were my husband, I would give you poison.”
    Churchill: “If I were your husband I would take it.”

    There is no such thing as a good tax.

    Sorry team, upon reflection that probably was a bit over the top!! Too much imbibing from the 'ine' food group (Caffeine / Nicotine)
    Corson thank you, thank you, thank you so much for this thread it makes my quote farming operation so much easier!!
    Keep em rolling folks….

    If I had to choose just one it would be “I am that which I can not point to and say I am that”

    PS1 I had no idea Mr. Churchill had such a wicked sense of humour.

    PS2 Try running one a day on your office door, then slip in the odd controversial one. Can generate an opportunity to wake another up!!

    David Rockefeller, Memoirs, 2002

    "For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interest of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure -- one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."

    The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed, and hence clamorous to be led to safety, by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

    H.L. Mencken


    PS - corson. I saw your last reply before you deleted it (for whatever reason). Quotes like this (and rockefeller's) are not about inducing a feeling of "emptiness".

    Quite to the contrary ... they should be viewed as empowering in that they shed light into the "darkness". They give clues into the mindset of the PTB/W and show that they are not (were not) nearly as all-powerful as we are sometimes led to believe.

    IMHO - and thanks for the thread
