The title may be a bit misleading, but the question I ask today is: "Which famous quote or a quote that you know do you disagree with?"

Please state the quote, and why.

I'll start things off and say


I dream of giving birth to a child who will ask, "Mother, what was war?" ~Eve Merriam


War will always be a part of life, whether it's a full out brawl between countries or not, there will always be a war to be had.

To be or not to be. I don't like it because it's extremely simplistic it is pretty much asking you to be alive or to be dead.

"Peace in our time" Neville Chamberlain. Possibly the most wrong anyone has ever been (not that he was to know).

"The Germans only have one player under 22 and he's 23" Kevin Keegan

And that just makes no sense.

Sorry I don;t have anymore phylasophical quotes but I'm tired.

philosophical quotes then. My brain has stopped working.


"Ever notice how people who believe in creationism look really unevolved? . . . Their eyes real close together. Eyebrow ridges. Big, furry hands and feet. 'I believe God created me in one day.' Looks like he rushed it.'" Bill Hicks

This is both harsh and a generalisation.

Oh thanks Ricador.


"I know what he sediment but I don't know what the element" The worst quote I have ever heard. Absolute pointlessness.

I don't even understand that quote.
Did you mean "the" instead of he?

"Give a man a fish he eats for a night. Teach him to fish he will eat for a life time."

I just think you have to be pretty stupid not to get basic idea and mechanics of fishing.

Here's another one:


The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on. - Robert Bloch


I don't think that will work all the time, especially if they caught you on camera doing the wrongful task.
