Quotations Compiled by Yours Truly

I love quotes, mainly because I can say something clever that I didn't even formulate, but I still get "oohs" and "ahhs" for my borrowed sophistication. But if you think that all of my favorite quotes are reverent and cultured, think again, my horribly mislead amigos. These are some good ones, whether they be inspiring or really stupid. Enjoy, and let me know what you think.
(P.S. the White Power Ranger won the vote! Seriously, you guys need to vote. It makes it so much more epic.)

"The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the most discoveries, is not Eureka! (I found it!) but 'That's funny...’"
-- Issac Asimov

"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits"
-- Albert Einstein

"Folk who don't know why America is the Land of Promise should be here during an election campaign."
-- Milton Berle

"I love women. They're the best thing ever created. If they want to be like men and come down to our level, that's fine."
-- Mel Gibson

" I think the worst time to have a heart attack is during a game of charades...or a game of fake heart attack."
-- Demetri Martin

"And God said, 'Let there be light' and there was light, but the Electricity Board said he would have to wait until Thursday to be connected."
-- Spike Milligan

"A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing."
-- Emo Philips

"Do you think that when they asked George Washington for ID that he just whipped out a quarter?"
-- Stephen Wright

""War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
--John Stuart Mill

Great quotes. OK and about the whole voting thing. Seriously, I am not sure who a couple of the heros were. I can't vote unless I know who I am voting for. Sounds a lot like this years presidential election. Crazy!

Good quotes. I agree with Dawn--I have a hard time voting for something that I know nothing about. Next time put up a poll on Seasame Street characters--now I know a lot about those loveable puppets!
