In order to find his equal, an Irishman is forced to talk to God. -- Unknown

An Irishman is never drunk as long as
He can hold onto one blade of grass and not
Fall off the face of the earth.
- Old Irish toast

When I realized what I had turned out to be was a
lousy, two-bit pool hustler and a drunk, I wasn't
depressed at all. I was glad to have a profession.
- Danny McGoorty

If you have the luck of the Irish,
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead
You should have the luck of the Irish
And you'd wish you was English instead!

A thousand years of torture and hunger
Drove the people away from their land,
A land full of beauty and wonder
Was raped by the British brigands!
Goddamn!
Goddamn!
John Lennon 1972

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.

As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.

Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.

John Lennon

Well, that and the fact he was an imperialistic, misogynistic, anti-union, welsh hating, egotistical drunkard...

oh...and his way of ending a coal miners strike when the hard working under paid men sat in their mines asking to be heard...he starved them out!

One of those men who should be placed in a glass box marked "break only in case of war"

on manager Leggy Mountbatten's discovery of the Rutles

Well, he told me that he'd been to see these young men in a dark cellar.

Iris Mountbatten:

dashrendar44 · 04-06-2007, 02:33 PM

"Virtue debases itself in justifying itself."

"Quite a heavy weight, a name too quickly famous."

"Man is free at the instant he wants to be."

"Men are equal; it is not birth But virtue that makes the difference."

"The ancient Romans built their greatest masterpieces of architecture for wild beasts to fight in."

"Almost everything is imitation... The most original writers borrowed from one another."

"What we find in books is like the fire in our hearths. We fetch it from our neighbor's, we kindle it at home, we communicate it to others, and it becomes the property of all."

"Paradise is where I am"

"Love truth, but pardon error"

"Use, do not abuse... Neither abstinence nor excess ever renders man happy."

"The secret of being a bore is to tell everything."

"Who serves his country well has no need of ancestors."

"Clever tyrants are never punished"

"It is better to risk sparing a guilty person than to condemn an innocent one."

"To hold a pen is to be at war"

"It is one of the superstitions of the human mind to have imagined that virginity could be a virtue."

another post after this, these are all Voltaire

dashrendar44 · 04-06-2007, 02:42 PM

"To pray to God is to flatter oneself that with words one can alter nature."

"We all look for happiness, but without knowing where to find it: like drunkards who look for their house, knowing dimly that they have one."

"If God has made us in his image, we have returned him the favor."

"It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong."

"A minister of state is excusable for the harm he does when the helm of government has forced his hand in a storm; but in the calm he is guilty of all the good he does not do."

"This agglomeration which was called and which still calls itself the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire." (one of my fave quotes EVER)

"While loving glory so much how can you persist in a plan which will cause you to lose it?"

"Opinions have caused more ills than the plague or earthquakes on this little globe of ours."

"When it is a question of money, everybody is of the same religion."

"Common sence is not so common"

"I always made one prayer to God, which is extremely short. Here it is: "O my God, make our enemies quite ridiculous!" God granted it."

"It is said that God is always on the side of the big battalions."

"If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him."

"It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets."

"I am very fond of truth, but not at all of martyrdom."

"The public is a ferocious beast: one must chain it up or flee from it."

and then the saying that proves that doing this was a waste of time XDDD

"A witty saying proves nothing"

All by Voltaire
