Turi, this could all get a bit David Brent!  Anyway, my personal favourite is "worse things happen at sea".
...there's people who would pay a lot of money for that information. But then your daughter would lose a father..instead of gaining a husband.

Don't know if this is a philosophy or a saying, but I like it.  Tis better to be thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt." Abraham Lincoln TIS
"Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind. War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today." JFK

"And in the End, the Love you take, is equal to the Love you make"
~Paul McCartney
"Imagine there's no heaven. It's easy if you try. No hell below us, above us, only sky. Imagine all the people, living for today."
~John Lennon
"You say you want a revolution, well you know, we all want to change the world. You tell me that it's evolution, well you know, we all want to change the world. But when you talk about distruction, don't cha know that you can count me out."
~John Lennon

And you liar, teller of tall tales: you trample all the Lord's commandments underfoot, you murder, steal, commit adultery, and afterward break into tears, beat your breast, take down your guitar and turn sin into a song. Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song.

Good ones Don Ferro and Irishman I had to search to get this quote "exact", because I didn't remember it word for word. "Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind. War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today." (JFK) TIS

What kind of peace do I mean and what kind of a peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war, not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace -- the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living -- and the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and build a better life for their children -- not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women -- not merely peace in our time but peace in all time.

"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." "Things turn out best for people who make the best out of the way things turn out" "Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful."  Here are some funny Mae West ones I love: "You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough." "Don't cry for a man who's left you, the next one may fall for your smile."

thanks for that one Zia. I have an opportunity to use it. From the Good Old Bible. "Whoever humbles themself will be exalted, but whoever exalts themself will be humbled."
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, whoever humbles himself will be exalted - Matthew 23:12
