All the world's indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage
--Rush

there's no fool like an old fool
you can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time but you cant fool all the people all the time.
thats all folks
what's up dock
Alla's fare in love and war

You can pick Your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you cant pick your friends nose.

"Well, hello Mr. Fancy Pants. I got news for you, pal. Right now you aint leadin' but two things: jack & $@!&. And jack left town." - Bruce Campbell, Army of Darkness

You've got to do what you've got to do
It takes one to know one
One if by land and two if by sea
Go peddle your papers somewhere else
Boys will be boys and girls will be girls
Santa comes but once a year

Jimi Hendrix made some pretty profound quotes in his day,among them this one...and I'm paraphrasing:"The power of love is stronger than the love of power."I forget exactly how the quote goes but that's the gist of it.He also wrote some pretty prophetic words the day before he died about life being just the blink of an eye.

"So you got that goin' for ya.....which is nice" - Carl Spackler

"You can get busy living or you can get busy dying" -
Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redmeption

...and of course my all time favorite:

"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth
on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and
dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing
whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so
dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-
field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of
that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave
their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether
fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate…we cannot
consecrate…we cannot hallow…this ground. The brave men,
living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it
far above our poor power to add or detract. The world
will little note nor long remember what we say here, but
it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the
living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly
advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us…that from these honored
dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which
they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here
highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain;
that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of
freedom; and that government of the people, by the people,
for the people, shall not perish from the earth".

Abraham Lincoln
November 19, 1863

When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.

My favorites:

I'm going to counter your existentialism with my ice cream. The world is meaningless, but I have ice cream - some guy in my philosophy class.

Give a man a match and he'll be warm for a minute; set him on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

My personal favorite: The unexamined life is not worth living - Socrates

We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here - Richard Dawkins

Always loved Pete Townsend on Punk Rock:

So long all you punks, stay young and stay high.
Just hand me my cheque book and I'll crawl off and die..
