I don't know if Quayle actually said that ... but I want to believe he did.

FIFY

Thanx Lamp, as a recovering Republican I feel a lot smarter.

Not a straight quote of what he actually wrote, but, close enough:

Quote:

No matter how black, white, male, female, Irish, German, tall, short, ugly or pretty you felt this year, you are part of a family that has been targeted by an unforgiving cosmos since its inception but has, regardless, survived ... humanity, warts and all, is an inherently heroic species that has spent about 99.99% of its short lifetime as an underdog. And If you see no billboards telling you that, it's not because it's not true. It's because there's little to no profit to be made telling you.

I could go on and on about the suffering we've endured and the adaptations we've made, but to me, our species' crowning jewel is that on the shortest day of the year, when the sun spends most of its time swallowed, when everything is frozen, when nothing can grow, when the air is so cold our voices stop right in front of our faces ... we put a string of lights on a universe that is currently doing nothing to earn it. We not only salvage an otherwise desolate time of year, we make it the best time of year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

That's really beautiful.

Yes, a nice thought, however...

depending on your hemisphere, it's Christmas on Bondi beach too. ;)

It says "we", not "they".;)

True, but he'd already specified we as humanity, mankind, the hairless ape, so everybody but me & Fuzzy Magee. My observation detracts not a whit, from the beauty of his sentiment, any more than Clarabelle have a shit what the peanut gallery babbled.

Quote:

I started taking anabolic steroids in 1969 and never stopped. It was addicting, mentally addicting. Now I'm sick, and I'm scared. Ninety percent of the athletes I know are on the stuff. We're not born to be 300 lb (140 kg) or jump 30 ft (9.1 m). But all the time I was taking steroids, I knew they were making me play better. I became very violent on the field and off it. I did things only crazy people do. Once a guy sideswiped my car and I beat the hell out of him. Now look at me. My hair's gone, I wobble when I walk and have to hold on to someone for support, and I have trouble remembering things. My last wish? That no one else ever dies this way.

“I think that the good and the great are only separated by the willingness to sacrifice.”

~Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Quote:

"Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It's just plain wrong."

Quote:

“It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe.”

Quote:

"Don’t count the days; make the days count."

Quote:

“I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'”

~Muhammad Ali
