Good Sayings

[Stephenjudoka]

It is with envy I have read the good sayings at the end of most peoples postings.

I have been wanting to find one of my own, I have tried to find something philisophical but to no avail.

Today I saw a 'T' shirt with what I was looking for.
It sums me up a treat.

" The older I get the better I was".

Stephen,
That's what my ex said as she went out the door:D

My favorite is one attributed to Jigoro Kano, and does sort of say something similar.

"Learn from the mistakes of others. You may not live long enough to make them all yourself."

Geez, there is never enough time.

Mark

[Stephenjudoka]

:D I like that one Mark.
My favourite is one I saw in a Kendo book 20 years ago.
I have lived my life by it.

To ask is but a moments shame - but not to ask and remain ignorant is a lifelong shame.

I can not remember who said it.

Actually makes me laugh in the middle of traffice I am a chronic verbal road rager.lol

[rsamurai]

"it is better to be thought a fool, than open your mouth and prove it."

?

[Aaron Fields]

Two that I like...

"you talk to much, shut up and practice"

"there is no such thing as a lucky punch"

[MarkF]

"I am what I am."-Popeye and Martin Burber

"Tell Frazier he's still a gorilla"-Muhammed Ali just recently when he learned Joe Frazier didn't accept his apology for calling him a gorilla (and the fight between his daughter and Frazier's daughter upcoming this month).

Mark

[Joseph Svinth]

It's Martin Buber, not Burber. Picky, I know, but hard to find books or websites devoted to his philosophy without the correct spelling. Speaking of that, try http://www.buber.de/en/ .

As for quotes, how about "It isn't being fast, it's whether or not you're willing." -- Glendon Swarthout, _The Shootist_

How about a two of my favorites from the classics.

"I'm gonna makem an offer he can't refuse"
Marlon Brando in the Godfather


I don't think Brando actually says that in the movie.

Although there are a lot of classic lines.

But some of my favorite come from "Big Trouble in Little China"

"If I'm not back by dawn, call the President"
"It's all in the reflexes"

One that might actually work as a tagline -
"Have I paid my dues? The check is in the mail"

[John Lindsey]

My favorite is:

War does not prove who is right, only who is left.

[Jay Bell]

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy"

-Ben Franklin :D

"Pretty much all the honest truth-telling there is in the world is done by children."
-Oliver Wendell Holmes

"Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance or a stranger."
-Franklin Jones

"Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards."
-Aldous Huxley

"A steak a day keeps the cows dead."
-Anon.

"The greatest happiness of life iS the conviction that we are loved -- loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves."
-Victor Hugo

"I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit."
-Kahlil Gibran

[Lawrence Carroll]

"Only last week I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick. I'm so mean I make medicine sick!"

--Muhammad Ali

If you're going to be arrogant, you might as well do it right.

[Brad Hooper]

"I didn't fight my way to the top of the food chain to be a vegetaian."

Brennan's Steak House

[Jay Bell]

On Brad's note:

"If we weren't supposed to eat animals, then why are they made out of meat?"

If I had a Hammer, There wouldn't be no folk singers!:smash:


****No folk singers were actually hurt during this post, although from the singing, it can be hard to tell******

[Iain]

This was one of the guys my father used to train with in the navy... A week after surgery on both his knees to repair ligament damage, he's back at the club with his gi on crawling along the mat. Everyone gives this man an incredulous, supefied, slack jawed, wide eyed gaze to which he replies "It's ok, I'll just do ne waza!" :eek:
