Okay these are selected from my collection of quotes:
To be prepared for war is the most effective means of preserving peace. (George Washington)
You can't say civilization don't advance. For every war, they kill you a new way. (Will Rogers)
No poor bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making other bastards dying for their country. (Patton)
Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.(Tom Wilson)
You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions.(Mahfouz Naguib)
Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk.(Doug Larson)
Wisdom is the quality that keeps you from getting into situations where you need it.(Doug Larson)
Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit.(Elbert Hubbard)

The idea that is not dangerous is not worthy of being called an idea at all.
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.(Albert Einstein)
Any fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius-and a lot of courage-to move in the opposite direction.(Albert Einstein)

Life is a long lesson in humility.(James M. Barrie)
A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.(John Barrymore)

no need for this to be a sticky just because you made it Maikel.

Well...mister Picard, this thread was supposed to log the comments and quotes made by the people on this forum. so we could remember them. the thread got somewhat misunderstanded.
But making a lame statement like you just did is just, like I said, LAME. You could just have said it in the admin lounge if it bothered you.

Well, this whole topic went in the wrong direction. It was supposed to be locked & sticky and it should have contained best quotes FROM the abandonia forum, not just random quotes. That's why it was sticky...

Yeah.. i can see how this thread was INTENDED to be used.. but as always.. once you post something on Abandonia forums... it gets its own life and crawl away from you... grow up... gets a family.. and dies after a while...
The life of a topic..
Sugestion: create a new, and be shure to LOCK it..
Tom Henrik

They did indeed lock it, but somewhere along the way. The topic was unlocked. Since people started to list their favourite quotes, I just jumped on the train :lol:
But I do understand why The Picard misunderstood Maikel's intentions. I would have done the same thing if I hadn't been talking to both Kosta and Maikel through MSN at the time they started the topic.

Oh I have quite a few quotes of my own.
"Nukes are the angels of peace, and the demons of war"
"there is no point in having a handicap if you can't use it to suckle from the sweet teat of Easy Life"
(example: while those damned dyslectic get easier tests and exams, people with dyscalculia like me just have to work harder... those damn dyslectic get all the benefits and airtime :x )
