Fixed it, not my story but seems to be that way with a lot of people I know.

Usually when someone is spouting off and CLEARLY has no idea what they are talking about:

 

"You don't even know what you don't know."

 

Others:

 

"Only the good die young"

 

"I believe I've passed the age of consiouness and righteous rage, I found that just surviving was a noble fight."

This is one of my favorites and as a Commissioned officer, I have had the privilege to officiate a few Senior Noncommissioned Officer's retirements, and I read this during the ceremony...

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com<img src=" /><o:p></o:p>

“FREEDOM IS NEVER MORE THAN ONE GENERATION AWAY FROM EXTINCTION. WE DIDN'T PASS IT TO OUR CHILDREN IN THE BLOODSTREAM. IT MUST BE FOUGHT FOR, PROTECTED, AND HANDED ON FOR THEM TO DO THE SAME, OR ONE DAY WE WILL SPEND OUR SUNSET YEARS TELLING OUR CHILDREN AND OUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN WHAT IT WAS ONCE LIKE IN THE UNITED STATES WHERE MEN WERE FREE.” <o:p></o:p>

By Ronald Reagan<o:p></o:p>

I like that.

I have so many that I learned in my 20+ years of being in the army. The bad thing is that I can't say them on here. I need to find some clean ones.

This man speaketh the truth. Same dilemma here. The Army teaches you many great expressions, but most not suitable for polite company.

 

I like to use "Disappeared like a fart in the wind" on occasion.

Not really sure if this fits here, but Churchill has always been good for a line or two.

 

Bit of history on this one, Winston was talking to Lady Astor in the early 30s. Even then, Churchill was not a fan of Hitler and Astor belonged to a group in the UK that thought he was the greatest thing to come along in years. The quote?

 

"Winston, if I were your wife, I’d put poison in your coffee." "Nancy," Churchill replied to the acid-tongued woman, "if I were your husband, I’d drink it."
