Favorite quotes

Okay, everyone, I'll start this off with a few by one of my favorite authors.

The name of the game is: Identify the author, then post one of your own favorites, and let someone else pick it up and run with it!

"A motion to adjourn is always in order."

"All men are created unequal."

"A generation that ignores history has no past and no future."

"One man's theology is another man's belly laugh."

"There ain't no such thing as a free lunch." (Note: This has become the Libertarian's motto!)

Good luck...

Okay, MMR. You're right. Your turn.

I figured someone would get it quickly, BTW. I know I'm not the only SCI-FI reader in this bunch.

Thanks, Gary1. My other favorite Heinlein quote (Lazarus Long) is

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."

Next Quote - who said:

-Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

-Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are more pliable.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
