    'to see a world in a grain of sand,/ and a heaven in a wild flower,/ hold infinity in the palm of your hand / and eternity in an hour' (auguries of innocence) 'the one remains, the many change and pass; / heaven's light forever shines, earth's shadows fly; / life, like a dome of many-coloured glass, / stains the white radiance of eternity...

    But a true champion, face to face with his darkest hour, will do whatever it takes to rise above. A man fights, and fights, and then fights some more. Because surrender is death, and death is for pussies.

    And my ass ain’t no pussy. My ass is a fúcking champion.

    I love quotes by Dr Seuss. This is my favourite:
    We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.

    Always loved the sentiment in the following. So much affection and understanding.

    "They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
    We will remember them."

    Also quite fond of the quote in my sig about people's ability to understand and process their life experience and take the right things from it.

    I may as well start with one that will rile people. I heavily paraphrase here:

    "In America, the people look at a rich man and say 'I want to be that guy...', in Ireland they look and him and say 'I want to kill that guy...'"

    - Paul Hewson


    Bono' favourite is

    "Do as I say, not as I do"

    The Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) piece is full of great lines such as ...

    "Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you
    succeed in doing this, tell me how. "

    "Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe
    you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky
    chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t
    congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either"

    "Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will
    look 85"

    Sam Goldwyn

    "A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it is written on."

    I think these may have been Steven Wright.

    "Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film."

    "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

    "Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?"

    "99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name."

    I am not allowed discuss …
