"Die Philosophen haben die Welt nur verschieden interpretiert. Es kommt aber daran auf, sie zu verändern".
Karl Marx
I know, I know. Its my sig. But it is also a good quite, I think. Translated into english it means something like:
"The philosophers have only interpretated the world differently. But what it is all about, is to change it" (the world, that is). It is written in the foyer of my
university (http://www.hu-berlin.de) here in Berlin.

Not a quote, but an anecdote (nice rhyme)
When Stevie Wonder sat down at the keyboard center stage at the ABC broadcast of Ford's Theatre Presidential Gala, President Bush in the front row got very excited. He smiled and started waving at Wonder, who understandably did not respond. After a moment Bush realized his mistake and slowly dropped the errant hand back to his lap. "I know I shouldn't have," a witness told us yesterday, "but I started laughing."

"Education is not my top priority"
"But the true threats to stability and peace are these nations that are not very transparent, that hide behind the—that don't let people in to take a look and see what they're up to. They're very kind of authoritarian regimes. The true threat is whether or not one of these people decide, peak of anger, try to hold us hostage, ourselves; the Israelis, for example, to whom we'll defend, offer our defenses; the South Koreans."

Hey you crazy fool..you posted that stupid fish and human twice and most of those were already posted on here to begin with......you idiot...
Hey, Phreak.....why do you post things twice? Do you have some sort of mental and or speech problem that reflects into your typing?
Example: "Location: Gronigen, Gronigen, The Netherlands"
Is your town called "Groningen, Gronigen" or are you just stupid?
Oh yeah, and the majority of those quotes that you've posted, are made up..................They are lies.....
If you didn't see it already I'm trying to be as much of a jerk to you as I can before I leave for my training...which isn't going to be long.....

Are you smart enough to say that without using the words 'crazy fool', 'stupid' and 'you idiot'? If so, you'd be a valuable member of DL. But you don't seem to be able to do without them.
Example: "Location: Gronigen, Gronigen, The Netherlands"

Maybe you should have looked on a map of The Netherlands (http://www.verhuis.net/images/kaart.gif). The city where I live is called Groningen. It's the capital of Groningen province. That is why I live in Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands.
Oh yeah, and the majority of those quotes that you've posted, are made up..................They are lies.....
That's even the worst part of it: they are true. You want the sources?

Um....not wishing to take sides here, but Phreak's quotes are true. Most of them are in 'George W. Bushisms: the accidental wit and wisdom of our 43rd President' which I bought a while ago in Dulles Airport. Even the one with the fish

For all the Bushisms, put a comma between every other word for every time Dubya pauses.
