Any one have any good quotes to share?

Here are a few of my favourites:

"we're here for a good time, not a long time"

"be kinder than necissary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle"

"if you don't love me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best"

:D

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

I'm pretty sure it's Albert Einstein. I LOVE this quote.

"We can learn patient from the unpatient, kindness from the unkind and truth from the untruthful. All we have to do is be aware of our teachers."

This one's a bit raunchy so I redacted it:

"... I'm not going to buy into a f---ing diet that says, you know what, you can eat three burgers and a pound of bacon, but you can't have an apple because the apple has carbs. . . . You don't have to adhere to an idealistic vision of beauty marketed by fashion magazines and negatively reinforced by a society dumb enough to believe that beauty only appears on the cover of a magazine. F--- them all!" -the Fat-kins squirrel

Not about dieting...but I still love it: :)
