Name That Quote

[malyla]

Let's start a new distraction. Name that Quote. Guess it and put a new quote out there.


I'll start.


"Now this is going to be your first day on a strange planet, so I want you all to dress up snug and warm and no playing with any naughty bug-eyed monsters!"

Correct - Eddie's second Genuine People Personality (GPP) after the sliderule GPP was switched off

You are up!....

Here's an easy one: "Houston -- Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."

Neil Armstrong when he and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon on the flight of Apollo 11.

 

[Cactus]

Correct! Your up.

This one if probably hard but I heard it as a young child and I never forgot it.

"In the garden of thy heart plant naught but the rose of love."

I had to look that one up. Never heard it before. It is from a religious leader who started a sect of the Shia Islamic faith. Sort of a Martin Luther for the Shia religion. Beautiful sentiment.

OK try this easy one:

'Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say "YES"!'

We use it all the time at work :laugh:

Yep, I learned that from a door to door preacher of the Baha'i faith. It's from the book The Hidden Words. My mother always invited door to door preachers into the house. She saw it as an opportunity to share her faith. Bless her heart.

Sounds like Ghostbusters.

 

[jkenjohnson]

I agree with Cactus Ghostbusters

 

[Cactus]

Yeah, I can see Bill Murray saying that to Dan Aykroyd who must be Ray. I can't remember the name of the character Bill Murray is playing but I guess this is good enough to move on.

Here is one to remember when we come up with reasons to make an IFT:

"There's a mighty big difference between good, sound reasons and reasons that sound good."

Hmmm, no takers. That was a quote by Burton Hillis ( a pseudonym for William E. Vaughan syndicated columnist for the Kansas City Star 1946 - 1977). I had a math teacher that would always put that quote on his tests. I hated it because I never knew if the arithmetic proofs I put down as answers were good enough.

OK, if that one was too hard try this one on for size:

"Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they're yours."

. . Richard Bach - I really loved Jonathon Livingston Seagull. My favorite quote of his is "If it's never our fault, we can't take responsibility for it. If we can't take responsibility for it, we'll always be its victim." I live by that philosophy with the realization that everything that happens to me has one thing in common, ME! And the one thing I can truly control in life is ME, my actions and my reactions. . . Thanks Cactus - that was a good one. . Here's another: “The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.”

Here's an easy one...

"Don't drive angry. Don't drive angry!"

 

[Cactus]

Well ordinarily I'd say that sounds like a Public Service Announcement, but today being Groundhog's Day and all I'd have to go with the movie by the same name. I'm thinking specifically when Bill Murray steals that little varmint and makes off with him in an old pick-up truck.

Correct! The floor (and next quote to guess) is yous.

Happy Groundhogs Day.

 

[Cactus]

Thank you and I understand he did see his shadow today. I guess we get 6 more weeks of this then. Here is the next quote to keep you amused:

"Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition."

Yes, I know it was a hit song in 1943, but it was a quote before then. Tell me who, where, when.

 

[Cactus]

I guess we have no takers on that one so here's the answer:

"Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition."

Chaplain Howell Maurice Forgy
USS New Orleans, Pearl Harbor Hawaii
Dec 7, 1941


Let's see if we get any nibbles on this one:

"Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something."
