Smile Favourite Quotes

Memorable quotes have been with us for many years. I have just read one today by the great Mark Twain:A banker is someone who will lend you an umbrella on a sunny day,but when it is raining,will ask for it back.
My favourite:
Never In The Field Of Human Conflict,Was Owed By So Many To So Few. 1940
Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

"I have two ambitions in life: one is to drink every pub dry, the other is to sleep with every woman on earth. "

A noble quest if I may say so.

Loads of them ...

"So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it."

"You can't hurry an elm"

"People around here are very poor I suppose."
"Not poor, they just haven't got money."

"War starts at midnight!"

"This is the universe. Big, isn't it."


"All this filming can't be healthy"

I have just had an instant thought Mark B. Suppose one adds just one word the the famous quote for:
'Never In The Field Of Human Conflict Was So Much Owed By So Many To So Few 'Friends'!

Start a new thread

'You should be kind to us normals, there are not many of us left you know'!

I liked the quote from Christopher Plummer re Julie Andrews. Plummer said that working with Julie Andrews was "like being hit over the head with a Christmas card."

Or how about that immortal line from Elvis at Sun Records when he was asked who he sounded like,"I dont sound like nobody."
