Thread: Famous Quotations (in English)

Don't know if this one was mentioned yet, but it's one of Murphy's Laws:

"If you want to make someone mad, lie; if you want to make someone absolutely livid, tell the truth."

Tom Clancy: "I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural
wholesome things that money can buy."

"I'm tired of plastic silverware"

As fas using "quotes" in everyday speaking, I don't use them often. I used them for school papers and Oral Communications classes etc. Back in the dark ages before the internet, a copy of "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations" was a good resource. I clipped "Quotable Quotes" from "Readers's Digest" too. They were always helpful in the sense that I could have proof that "someone" "famous" thought along the same lines as I did. But school is long since over and they gather "dust" now. But they are some interesting reading.

And you can "quote" me on that.
