Great come back by Eureka. I laughed out loud and it's 3 o'clock in the morning. Still chuckling.

I like this quote. I think Brault understands that living life only for yourself can lead to emptiness, loneliness and bitterness. Having someone else to be with and live for is wonderful.

He comes up with an occasional good one, but a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while, as they used to say.

"Don't be like a pizza cutter: all edge, and no point." — Alexandre Dumas

Um, somehow this doesn't sound like Alexandre Dumas who lived 1802 to 1870 and wrote historical novels. Yes, there were pizza cutters back then, but this is just so dumb.

(This is my tribute to the infamous Bob Hope bank quote because I think the glitch disappeared during the last update of this site. Some of the new players will not realize that a particular Bob Hope quote kept popping up at such regular intervals that it became a running joke. The quote is "A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don't need it." The frequency of its appearance kept us all entertained for years.)

"I've always been in the right place and time. Of course, I steered myself there." — Bob Hope

Eureka's comment is the most deft fix I've ever seen in a thread that was devolving into another hair-splitting discussion of Einstein's spiritual beliefs.


"The Lord God is subtle, but malicious He is not." — Albert Einstein

Atheism and Godlessness are sometimes very different circumstances. The denial of what is, is insanity.

haverwench

That quotation doesn't express either atheism or godlessness. It describes Deism.

i had "religious" instead of "malicious"--thought it sounded weird, but that's not a new concept with some quotes!

Lurker

I had religious too until I realized some letters are doubled. It does kind of make sense. God isn't religious, the people are. Added a bunch of time, though.

LLapp
March 29, 2016, 8:10 pm
Yup, me too. And I wonder why anyone would think Einstein was an atheist.

I tried religious too, but the red letters we have now, quickly pointed out my error.

The lawn man is subtle, but policiaus he is fat.

Eureka
February 25, 2020, 11:31 am
Phil, I believe the "p" should be capitalized. Policiaus was Einstein's neighbor. In his defense, he was not so much fat as big boned. And the lawn man was indeed subtle. Sometimes you couldn't even tell he'd mowed the lawn, although he claimed he had.

"A man is only a leader when a follower stands beside him." — Mark Brouwer

March 10, 2012, 4:00 pm
If he's beside you, is he really a follower?

kb83
December 17, 2015, 10:53 am
I thought that too, montyb. But maybe you want to know whether your followers are still following?

LLapp
November 17, 2016, 7:06 am
I think he means when the followers and their roles are seen as having dignity equal to the leader and the leader's role.
