"I am the Lorax, i speak for the trees"
-Dr Seuss

my mantra...hence my username. no other quote (book) has effected me so much in my life. set me on a path at about 7 years old.
cheers

Neat. I have a couple of really corny musician one-liners.

My signature quote...

"If it's Baroque...don't fix it." I thought it was the Clock guy in Beauty and the Beast, but someone actually told me that no, this is indeed not what he says, so it's mine.

My status quote

"I've got Isorhythm!" Isorhythm is a Medieval compositional device that determined the rhythmic and melodic structure of a motet. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Somebody shut up the music nerd already.

Also, anything from "The Princess Bride" is one-liner worthy. That movie is chock full of them.

"If you haven't got your health, then you haven't got anything."

"Death cannot stop True Love. All it can do is delay it for a while."

"You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is 'never get involved in a land war in Asia' - but only slightly less well-known is this: 'Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line!'"

"Cowards die many times before their deaths,The valiant never taste of death but once

My dad was a B17 bomber pilot during the war. We put this quote on the back of his gravestone, but as "Cowards die many deaths. Heroes die but one."

And...for my livelihood:

Save one life and you save the world entire.

Then, on the humorous side:

It's hard to soar with eagles when you work with turkeys.

President Ronald Reagan had quite a few funny ones. Here they are:

"Honey, I forgot to duck." -to his wife, Nancy, after surviving the assassination attempt

"I am not worried about the deficit. It is big enough to take care of itself."

"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'"

"Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his."

"I'm afraid I can't use a mule. I have several hundred up on Capitol Hill." -refusing a gift of a mule

"It's true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance?"
