Greatest quotes of all time
Discussion
Doing what I do and with the current financial goings on - I think one of the most appropriate quotes is by Mark Twain:
"A banker is the only person who will lend you an umberella - but wants it back when it starts to rain" (not word perfect)
Also I like:
"Early to bed, early to rise - work like hell and advertise". don't know who said this.
"If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck - chances are it's f
ing duck" from Beer and Loating in the square mile.

Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp,
Or what's a heaven for?
and
The high that proved too high, the heroic for earth too hard,
The passion that left the ground to lose itself in the sky,
Are music sent up to God by the lover and the bard;
Enough that he heard it once: we shall hear it by and by.

Clearly the first great philosopher of the 21st (31st?) Century
I prefer the older ones - but more recently I liked these!
"So I ran straight towards the guy, we're all trying to get a kick-in at him, take a boot to subdue the guy."
"Glasgow doesn't accept this. This is Glasgow; we'll set about ye."
"If any more extremists are still wanting to rise up and start trouble, know this: We’ll rise right back up against you. New York, Madrid, London, Paisley … we’re all in this together and make no mistake, none of us will hold back from putting the boot in."
and in relation to this.........
"What were Al Qaeda thinking when they attacked Glasgow Airport?
Let’s bring a Holy War to Glasgow?
We’re 400 years ahead of you lads, you haven’t even got yourselves a football team yet”
