Famous quotes

- Alexander Graham Bell

I don't know about 'famous', but one I heard recently that resonated for me was:

"It is worth remembering that the time of greatest gain in terms of wisdom and inner strength is often that of greatest difficulty."
- His Holiness the Dalai Lama

HHDL has a twitter feed, @dalailama, which never fails to bring a little bit of peace and serenity to my day.

One of the Mitford sisters ( I think) talking to a drunk Winston Churchill
"SIR YOU ARE VERY DRUNK"
Churchill replied
"MADAM YOU ARE UGLY, BUT IN THE MORNING I SHALL BE SOBER"

Or my own personal business philosophy motto:

LIFE IS LIKE A S--T SANDWICH, THE MORE BREAD YOU GET ,THE LESS S--T YOU EAT.

That Churchill one is a personal favourite
