@ Socrates:
Then how do you know you don't know anything?

@baumhaeuer

Perhaps a more nuanced way of saying it is "The only thing I know is that I know nothing besides what I just mentioned."

That just doesn't have the dramatic effect, though that's what he meant.

I agree with him; it's also one of my favorite sayings.



Uhm... here are two of my most favorite:

"A clever saying proves nothing."
-Voltaire

and

"Invent a clever saying, and your name will live forever!"
-Anonymous

more seriously there is this:

"There is no journey gone so far we cannot stop and change direction. No doom is written in the stars; it's in our hands."
-"Children of Eden" (A musical)

"The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it."
-from my namesake, Thucydides

"It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees."
-Emiliano Zapata

hard to settle on a favorite though.

bahaha that Groucho Marx one is great I forgot about that

I also have 10,000 urges to post 10,000 Voltaire quotes. I prettymuch love Candide and I know so many great quotes from it, but it'd be way too hard to settle on a favourite.

I like this Russian proverb:

Wilde too (I believe.)

i'd like to know what was the original english for this:
"le haré una oferta que no podrá rechazar"
"i'll make him an offer he won't be able to reject"?
.-the godfather

"He made him an offer he couldn't refuse." is the original quote from the Godfather.

thanks draugnar, i think i'll watch that master piece again

It's also used in another part of the movie as "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse."

"fuck the establishment. and fuck you people who are trying to make me part of the unestablished establishment."

-little boy in the movie putney swopes

"Children are our most valuable natural resource" Herbert Hoover
"You can only go over to the ladder, then up it, not up the ladder then over to it." My Teacher

"All in all it's just another brick in the wall." - Pink Floyd

Don Corleone has been asked, on the day of his daughter's wedding, to help his godson get a part in a Hollywood movie. Johnny Fontane had ruined a young starlet the producer was making into a star. The Don says "I'm gonna make him an offer he won't refuse".

Michael, talking about getting Moe Green out of the Casino: "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse."

Michael, talking to Kay about another incident with Johnny Fontane and a bandleader: "He made him an offer he couldn't refuse".

So it really depends on which scene.

Oh, Brando's quote is often written with slight variations. IT's difficult to hear clearly - his cheeks were stuffed with cotton. There's no mistaking the meaning, however.

But my facorite line is..

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.

Hmm, best film quote?

"You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off"

Case close

"Wherever you go, there you are"

--Buckaroo Banzai

Dang JBA! Did you have those off the top of your head or did you IMDB them? And I thought *I* was addicted to the Godfather (I & II, not that crappy III).

ehm....that's hard. but if i had to narrow it down, than it would be one of three;

"Never pet a flaming dog"
-Unknown

"Life is pain! Anyone who says diffetently is selling somehing."
-The Princess Bride (paraphrased)

or;

EVIL, aka girls, girls are evil I have a theory...
Girls require time and money
(Girls = Time x Money)
But we all know time is money
(Time = Money)
Therefore
(Girls = Money x Money)
(Money x Money = Money squared)
And beacause money is the root of all evil
(Money = square route of evil)
Therefore
(Girls = (the square route of evil)squared)
so we are forced to conclude that...
(Girls = Evil)

-Matt Snyder

athough, the it's not money that's the root of all evil, it's the LOVE of money....but still, it's a great quote.

And girls require time and money, not time times money, so therefore the equation is
girls = time + money
time = money
girls = money + money
girls = 2 x money
we love girls, therefore we love money*2
we = 2*sqrt(evil)
so we are part evil, as guys.

Now we just need to solve for evil to find how much evil us guys are.
