"The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle. THAT is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable."

I like others but this is the only one I can think of now....

Have time, will travel."
-Anonymous

"Many men go fishing all their lives without knowing it is not fish they are after."
-Henry David Thoreau

"Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak."
-Anonymous

"Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore."
-Lord Chesterfield

"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education."
-Mark Twain

"Courage can be judged apart from danger only if the social significance and meaning of courage is known to us, namely that a man of character in peace becomes a man of courage in war. He cannot be selfish in peace and yet be unselfish in war. Character as Aristotle taught is a habit, the daily choice of right instead of wrong; it is a moral quality which grows to maturity in peace and is not suddenly developed on the outbreak of war. For war, in spite of much that we have heard to the contrary, has no power to transform, it merely exaggerates the good and evil that are in us, till it is plain for all to read; it cannot change it exposes. Man's fate in battle is worked out before war begins. For his acts in war are dictated not by courage, nor by fear, but by conscience, of which war is the final test. The man whose quick conscience is the secret of his success in battle has the same clear cut feelings about right and wrong before war makes them obvious to all. If you know a man in peace, you know him in war."
-Lord Moran

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling that thinks nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing that is more important than his own personal safety is a miserable creature, and will never be free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
-John Stuart Mills

"He knows not how to rule a Kingdom, that cannot manage a Province; nor can he wield a Province, that cannot order a City; nor he order a City, that knows not how to regulate a Village; nor he a Village, that cannot guide a Family; nor can that man Govern well a Family that knows not how to Govern himself; neither can any Govern himself unless his reason be Lord, Will and Appetite her Vassals: nor can reason rule unless herself be ruled by God, and (wholly) be obedient to Him."
-Hugo Gratius, 1654

"The remarkable thing about fearing God is that when you fear God you fear nothing else, whereas when you do not fear God you fear everything else."
-Oswald Chambers

And of course the one in my siggy...

-Cowboy

I am on this account not displeased that the Figure is not known as a Bald Eagle, but looks more like a Turkey. For the Truth the Turkey is in Comparison a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America . . . He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage, and would not hesitate to attack a Grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on.

-Benjamin Franklin pointing out that the Wild Turkey might have been a better national bird than the Bald Eagle

LOL!!

I think the turkey would be a better national bird... there's no point in changing it now, however.

"There are three types of people in this world: Those who install the toilet paper rolling under, those who install it over and those who don't install it at all"

"If post it notes were the world currency, I would be a millionaire by now"

I came up with these quotes on my own. The first one was created when I was sharing a bathroom with my sister. My sister is a total slob and doesn't know how to install toilet paper. Later that year I was enrolled in a digital photography class that had an assignment that we find a quote and photograph something relevant to it. I decided to do something about toilet paper so I could hang it in my bathroom and teach my sister a lesson. It didn't work because eventually she moved down to the basement where she has a bathroom of her own (and a not so tidy one at that).

The second one: Recently I was going to fly to Michigan to visit my family and my Mom wanted me to take some mothers day gifts out there in order to save on shipping. I knew that I wouldn't remember which gifts belonged to who so I asked Mom if she could put some post it notes on which bag belonged to who. I have a huge wealth of post it notes at my desk at home and I said to her, "If post it notes were the world currency I would be a millionaire by now".
