Best signature or quote ever - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Greenbug · 10-12-2005, 07:13 PM

I started a thread like this on another forum some time back, and was amazed where it went. Lets see what happens here. Addict and alcoholics in recovery are some of the most resilient, independent, free thinking group of people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Does'nt have to be recovery related.

Best Signature or Quotes:

To think "out of the box," one has to able to first ascertain what is in the box.
Never start a presentation with the numbers!
When the chips are down, the buffalo is empty.
He who laughs last, thinks slowest.
Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have any film.
A day without sunshine is like, well, night.
People lost in thought may be in unfamiliar territory.
Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
Hard work has a future payoff. Laziness pays off now.
It's lonely at the top, but you eat better.
Always remember you're unique... Just like everyone else.
Never argue with a idiot, they will drag you down to there level then beat you with experience.

Cheers,
GB

wolflet · 10-12-2005, 07:43 PM

my fav. so far is..........

"i came here to save my a$$ & found out that it was attached to my soul"

UrbanFool · 10-12-2005, 07:45 PM

My current sig on another board is "They call it PMS because Mad Cow Disease was already taken."

I stole that from someone else (not on the same board.)

Greenbug · 10-12-2005, 07:45 PM

Thats great!, I have not heard that one before. How true it is....

Learn from the mistakes of others because we don't live long enough to make them all ourself.

"I said I wanted to be left alone, not 'I want to be alone'. There is a great difference,"The one and only Greta Garbo.

Kyle MacLachlan as Paul Atreides:"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me."

Quoth From Hamlet (Act III, Scene I, vs 65-68):
To sleep! perchance to dream:--ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;

For the math geeks: Alcohol and calculus don't mix. Never drink and derive.

We may not be able to control the wind, but we can always adjust our sails

Arguing on the Internet is like running in the Special Olympics, even if you win you're still retarded

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

George double you Bush has two brains, the left and the right, like
normal people. But the problem is that there is nothing right in his
left brain and there is nothing left in his right brain

The great thing about multitasking is that several things can go wrong at once

Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare - Japanese proverb

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. - Albert Einstein

The truth is out there? Does anyone know the URL?

I'm very responsible, when ever something goes wrong they always say i'm responsible

One day, my ship will come. And with my luck, I'll be waiting at the airport!

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there.

Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life

the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it

Have a nice day!

What I've done is not who I am.

Sometimes, I just need to remember that.

How I post wrong on a forum:

After I successfully ignored Google, FAQ's and the Boardsearch, I'm making two to five new Threads in the wrong Subforums, with creative Title and unreadable Text, that everybody can imagine something different!

Greenbug · 10-18-2005, 12:11 PM

BS has the same mathematical properties as the number 1; that is, BS raised to any power is still BS.

Nice guys never finish anything; they are too busy worrying about who they will offend.

If you have never made a mistake, then you have never done anything of significance.
