    Favorite quotes

    Here is a quick video of a movie quote I really like. I got reminded of it earlier today. Enjoy. Anyone else have some good quotes?

    "Everyone in this room is now dumber for having heard you"

    Here are a couple of mine.

    "You just keep thinking Butch. That's what your good at."

    Butch: "Listen, I don't mean to be a sore loser but when it's done if I'm dead. Kill him.'
    Sundance: 'Love to."

    And of course;

    'We're going to need a bigger boat.'

    Why don't we have the time to do it right but have the time to do it over?

    I remember the TV show "Fung Fu". This is from one of the episodes:

    Master Po: [after easily defeating the boy in combat] Ha, ha, never assume because a man has no eyes he cannot see. Close your eyes. What do you hear?
    Young Caine: I hear the water, I hear the birds.
    Master Po: Do you hear your own heartbeat?
    Young Caine: No.
    Master Po: Do you hear the grasshopper that is at your feet?
    Young Caine: [looking down and seeing the insect] Old man, how is it that you hear these things?
    Master Po: Young man, how is it that you do not?
