Not a quote as such but my favourite opening sentence to a novel is from 'The Trial' by Kafka:
'Someone must have been telling lies about Josef K., he knew he had done nothing wrong but, one morning, he was arrested.' |

Stop sending people to kill me! We've already captured five of them, one of them with a bomb and another with a rifle... If you don't stop sending killers, I'll send a very fast working one to Moscow and I certainly won't have to send another.

The late, great Bon Scott of AC/DC had a great sense of humour. He was asked about the recording of a new album. He replied, when asked about a record producer, "As far as I am concerned, he'd be hard pushed to produce a fart!". |

I like the story (which is probably untrue) that John Lennon was asked if he thought Ringo Starr was the best drummer in the world. He reportedly replied "I don't think he's the best drummer in the Beatles". |

Now my memory isn't what it was but I'm sure I heard the radio or tv interview where that question was asked and the rest of the band said it as well. But don't quote me on that.  |

"I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it. - Bill Gates. "
That is so true, I knew a manager once would choose a certain person to do a job, he was a right lazy twat, but he did find the easiest and quickest way to do it |

This comes to mind so often ....
It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When
you pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all. When you pay
too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you
bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The
common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a
lot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well
to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will
have enough to pay for something better.

As Philip II of Macedon was conquering Greek city-states left and right, Sparta was left alone. Philip had achieved a crushing victory, and Sparta was relatively weak and without walls. Philip sent a message to the Spartans saying “If I invade Lakonia you will be destroyed, never to rise again.” The Spartans replied with one word, “If.”
Bad ass!!! |
