I think my favorite quote would have to be a nice Bible verse that applies to the human condition...

"As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly"-Proverbs 6:19 I believe...

"Over thirty parameters of the universe have been identified that must be carefully fixed in value for any kind of conceivable life (not just life as we know it) to exist at any time in the history of the universe."-Hugh Ross, reasons.org

"RNA polymerase II has remarkable machine-like character.9 RNA polymerase II subunits form a channel that houses the chain-like DNA template. “Jaws” help grip the DNA template holding it in place during RNA synthesis. The newly formed RNA chain locks into place a hinge clamp as it exits the RNA polymerase II channel. A funnel-like pore delivers the small subunit molecules to the RNA polymerase II channel. Then the small subunit molecules in the channel are added to the growing end of the RNA chain."-Fuzale Rana, on the evidence of Intelligent Design within protein "machinery".

"Think of how dumb the average person is...Half the people are dumber than that." - Unknown

Doesn't work. Should be "Think of how dumb the median person is..."

If you're just averaging, you can end up with a tiny minority of true idiots dragging down the average score.

Marge: Lisa, Bart, what did you two learn in Sunday School today?
Lisa: The answers to deep theological questions.
Bart: Yeah, among other things, apes can't get into heaven.
Homer: What? Those cute little monkeys? That's terrible. Who told you that?
Bart: Our teacher.
Homer: I can understand how they wouldn't let in those wild jungle apes, but what about those really smart ones who live among us? Who roller-skate and smoke cigars?

Homer: The code of the schoolyard, Marge! The rules that teach a boy to be a man. Let's see. Don't tattle. Always make fun of those different from you. Never say anything, unless you're sure everyone feels exactly the same way you do. What else...

Homer: Your mother has this crazy idea that gambling is wrong. Even though they say it's okay in the bible.
Lisa: Really? Where?
Homer: Uh... Somewhere in the back.

Homer: Bart! With $10,000, we'd be millionaires! We could buy all kinds of useful things like...love!

Marge: You could take an adult education course.
Homer: Oh, and how is "education" supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home wine-making course and I forgot how to drive?

Homer: Lisa, if the Bible has taught us nothing else -- and it hasn't -- it's that girls should stick to girls' sports, such as hot-oil wrestling, foxy boxing, and such-and-such.

Homer: I promise you kids lots of things. That's what makes me such a good father!
Lisa: Actually, keeping promises would make you a good father.
Homer: No, that would make me a great father.

[vajradhara]

If we ask, for instance, whether the position of the electron remains the same, we must say "no"; if we ask whether the electrons position changes with time, we must say "no"; if we ask whether the electron is at rest, we must say "no"; if we ask whether it is in motion, we must say "no".

J. Robert Oppenheimer


The true value of a human being can be found in the degree to which he has attained liberation from the self.

A. Einstein


Can you walk on water? You have done no better than a straw. Can you fly in the air? You have done no better than a bluebottle. Conquer your heart; then you may become somebody.

Ansari of Herat


People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life..... I think what we're really seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our innermost being and reality, so that we can actually feel the rapture of being alive.

Joseph Campbell


Thus shall ye think of all this fleeting world:
A star at dawn; a bubble in a stream;
A flash of lightning in a summer cloud,
A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream.

Shakyamuni Buddha

"Happiness is a warm puppy." -- Charles Schultz

"Darkness cannot overcome darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot overcome hate; only love can do that" -- Martin Luther King, Jr.

BTW, the stand/fall quote from above is usually written: "If you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything." Normally no double entendres.

My sig quote, too.
