Now adays the young are all about games, how about we open our minds up a bit? I feel the need of a wisdom topic. What are some of the best quotes you have heard that have opened your minds to think?

A route of many roads leading from nowhere to nothing. ~Ambrose Bierce, The Enlarged Devil's Dictionary

Not to delve off-topic but....

Actually, it's 12:00 twice. 12 am and 12 pm. So if the clock is stopped on 12, then it will be right at 12 am and 12 pm! :>

Military time, 24 hour clock, which makes 12am into 00:00, and 12pm 12:00, 1am 01:00, 1pm 13:00.

--
It is possible for a stopped clock to be right twice a day, but it really depends on the kind of clock we're talking about.

I have no quotes, I am unwise and can never remember anything anybody ever says >_>.

if your talking 24 hour its once if your talking 12 hour its once since there is am and pm but normal clocks don't have pm or am on them so you could be right but not technically

Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and bitch-slap the motherfucker upside the head..."

I usually bust this out when people say "Great minds think alike."
