Here are some I have come up with over the years:

"A mistake made once is ignorance, a mistake made twice is stupidity."

"Knowledge is power but wisdom is temperance."

"I can not bring myself to trust a man who is not crass from time to time."

"A man cannot say he loves this country if he is not willing to occasionally drive across it."

"Gun ownership is the purist expression that the seat of power in America comes from the individual."

"Keep your enemies close but your government closer."

"If you ever want the government to fight to keep something, simply tax it."

"Archery is the ultimate balance between peace and violence."

"Sipping whiskey is the perfect balance between indulgence and temperance.

I think the top one is Orwell from 1984. He's describing Julia and her affinity for free love and vulgarity. Could be wrong.
Edit
I am wrong. It was Albert Camus. Pretty sure Orwell said something similar though.

I like brief quotes that encapsulate much wisdom in a few words. This world is full of too many folks that talk a great deal but say very little. On the other hand we have plenty of people that seem to be intently listening but truly hear very little. I suspect both groups suffer due to excessive human noise disguised as conversation.

I find that a short powerful phrase can be much more meaningful and thought provoking than an avalanche of words which carry no significance.

Tell me some of your favorite quotes-here is one of mine.



Falling down is an accident, staying down is a choice.
