Don't just do the right thing; do the right thing at the right time.
Never argue with an idiot. He’ll just drag you down to his level and then beat you to death with experience.
Never ask two questions in a discussion board post. The reply will discuss at length the one you are least interested in, and say nothing about the other.
A conclusion is the just place where you got tired of thinking.
Never argue with a woman when she's tired -- or when she's rested.
Wagner's music is better than it sounds.
Picasso’s paintings are better than they look.
Zero Tolerance means Zero Thinking.
If it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid.
Sex on the TV can't hurt you unless you fall off.
The important things are always simple; the simple things are always hard.
Anything you do can get you killed, including nothing.
It's not the one with your name on it. It's the one addressed "to whom it may concern" you've got to worry about.
Never stand when you can sit, never sit when you can lie down, never stay awake when you can sleep.
The most dangerous thing in the world is a second lieutenant with a map and a compass.
If enough data is collected a board of inquiry can prove anything.
For every action there is an equal and opposite criticism.
Never volunteer. If you don’t know the reason why, ask someone who has. If you can’t find anyone who has, then you know the reason why.
There is always a way, and it usually doesn't work.
Success occurs when no one is looking; failure occurs when the Boss is watching over your shoulder.
Never tell the Boss you have nothing to do.
If only one solution can be found, then it is usually a stupid solution.
No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy.
The buddy system is essential to your survival; it gives the enemy somebody else to shoot at.
If you really need to see the Boss in a hurry, take a nap.
There is nothing more satisfying that having someone take a shot at you, and miss.
Once you are in the fight it is way too late to wonder if this is a good idea.
Decisions made by someone over your head will seldom be in your best interest.
Happiness is a belt fed weapon.
Thousands of our soldiers earn medals for bravery every day. A few are even awarded.
War doesn’t determine who’s right, it only determines who’s left.
Always make sure someone has a can opener.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall. They punch and kick harder too.
If you drop a guy in the middle of a desert with a rock, a hammer, and an anvil, and tell him not to touch any of it, and come back two hours later, the anvil will be broken. Because guys gotta mess with stuff.
The further from civilization you drive, the louder the strange engine noises become.

The audacious proposal stirred his heart. And the stirring became a song, and it mingled with the songs of Gil-galad and Celebrian, and with those of Feanor and Fingon. The song-weaving created a larger song, and then another, until suddenly it was as if a long forgotten memory woke and for one breathtaking moment the Music of the Ainur revealed itself in all glory. He opened his lips to sing and share this song. Then he realized that the others would not understand. Not even Mithrandir given his current state of mind. So he smiled and simply said "A diversion.”

Reminds me of my motto: If you can't set a good example, be a terrible warning...
