Favorite or Famous Quotes Anyone?

Just a bit of humor to break the spell of networking and work related activities. You may be surprised what you can learn about a persons personality this way.

And now, on to the non-sense. What quotes come to mind. Famous or otherwise, let em fly... I will start with one of my personal favorites:

The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits. - Albert Einstein

"Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right"

"No matter where you go, there you are!."

Buckaroo Banzai (and Confucius)

"Early to bed early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise"

Benjamin Franklin

but prefer the corollary:

"Early to rise, early to bed, makes a man healthy, but socially dead"
