but if you ain't learning nothing, then you must be learning something right?

My favourite was

"Time is the greatest teacher, unfortunately, it kills all of its students"

another is

"All good things come to those who wait"

Bertrand Russell had some great things to say.

Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so.


If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have paradise in a few years.


A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.

But written in his cells he has got the marks of the genius"

I saw this in a book of quotes from country music songs:

"My ears are filled with tears from laying on my back cryin' over you...."

One of the funniest lines I've ever heard!!

"If you are not a liberal when you are 20 you have no heart. If you are not a conservative when 40 then you have no brain"
attributed to WInston Churchill but I have since read that it may have been one of his aids who first said it.


Last words of a red neck, "Hey guys, watch this!"


The happiest day in a mans life is when he finally gets his dream boat. The second happiest day is when he finally is able to sell it.

Another Russell quote:

One should as a rule respect public opinion in so far as necessary to avoid starvation and to keep out of prison, but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny..Bertrand Russell, 'The Conquest of Happiness'.
