Backlog part...4? Like I said, I've been doing this for years...
"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." ~William Shakespeare
"I have opinions of my own - strong opinions - but I don't always agree with them." ~Bush senior (guess the apple didn't fall far)

"Talkers are not good doers." ~William Shakespeare
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger; who no longer pauses to wonder and stand in rapt awe, is as good as dead." ~Albert Einstein
"If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. That is the principal difference between a dog and a man." ~Mark Twain
"We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe." ~Dan Quayle (speaking of being committed...)
"[The Holocaust] was an obscene period in our nation's history...this century's history... We all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century." ~Dan Quayle (I'm not even sure he lived on this planet)
"Mars is essentially in the same orbit...Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe." ~Dan Quayle (Wanna go up there and test that theory?)
"I've seen a look in dogs' eyes, a quickly vanishing look of amazed contempt, and I am convinced that basically dogs think humans are nuts." ~John Steinbeck (I don't blame them)
"The 100% American is 99% idiot." ~George Bernard Shaw
"An eye for an eye - and the whole world would be blind." ~Ghandi
"Certainly God created man before woman, but don't you always make a rough draft before a final masterpeice?" ~Unknown (not that I agree with the first part)
"The Bible says Eve tempted Adam, but I don't think that's true...because men know exactly what they want. No doubt they always have. Eve didn't have to convince Adam. He probably did the convincing."
"You might be right...but how do you think such a mistake was made?"
"Because men wrote the Bible, and men never admit to a failing. It's easier to blame the woman." ~Dark Eyes (Colleen Corbet)
"Never argue with a stupid person. First they'll drag you down to their level, then they will beat you with experience." ~Unknown
"To thine own self be true and it shall follow as the night the day: thou can'st not be false to any man." ~Hamlet
"Fate can be bent if the will is strong enough, but once that force is spent, all returns to where it was and where it would be. You can throw a pebble into the ocean and hear the splash, see the waves, but the sea goes on as before. Sometimes a great force will well up in the smallest of us and rail against fate, make ripples in the ocean of time...remember, though, that Fate is the tiller of the universe, and a pebble is only a pebble." ~Unknown
"If you accept that the universe is infinite, then that means there's an infinite amount of chances for something to happen, right? Well, if there's an infinite amount of chances for something to happen, then eventually it will happen - no matter how small the likelihood. That means somewhere in space there's another planet that, by an incredible series of coincidences, developed exactly the same way as ours. Right down to the smallest detail." ~The Beach (the original book)
"I never would've taught you how to shoot if I didn't think you were the kind of man who'd always use his gun for good."
"In a fight, sometimes neither side is good." ~Wild Texas Rose (Victoria Thompson)
"In tragedy and despair, when an endless night seems to have fallen, hope can be found in the realization that the companion of night is not another night, that the companion of night is day, that the darkness always gives way to light, and that death rules only half of creation, life the other half." ~Lightning (Dean Koontz)
