I remember this from the book version of "The Search for Spock"
"The more complicated the plumbing, the easier it is to clog it up."
Scotty, after sabotaging the warp drive on a pursuing starship.

It's so fluffy!!!! --- Despicable Me

God doesn't call the qualified, he qualifies the called.

I heard this at group last night, and I love it.

Money can't buy happiness ---- anonymous

Good one (and very true), sandy. And to go with that, an insightful quote by Tolstoy:

"Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal—that there is no human relationship between master and slave."

Lady Haleth, I really love that quote!!!!

Thanks. I don't know where its from, but I love it!
Here's a Lewis one, from The Abolition of Man.

The human mind has no more power of inventing a new value then of imagining a new primary color, or, indeed, of creating a new sun and a new sky for it to move in.

And another favorite, from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

Good and evil have not changed since yesteryear, nor are they one thing among Elves and Dwarves and another among Men. It is a man's part to discern them, as much in the Golden Wood as in his own house

This from a sermon I heard long ago,

"God loves us the way we are. And He loves us too much to leave us this way."

Still smarts when I think of it. Like a good paddling after being caught doing wrong.

Thanks Johobbit.

"Life is so easy. People just make/s it hard." -- anonymous (I really don't know who said this)

"Legolas Greenleaf long under tree
In joy thou hast lived, beware of the sea
If thou hears the cry of the gull on the shore
Thy heart shall rest in the forest no more"
- LOTR (TTT, book)

This one is for any Doctor Who fans.
" The Shortest distance between two points may be a straight line. But that does not mean it is the most interesting."

Tact is what a person has when he won't change his mind but can change the subject

".....You gotta serve somebody/It might be the Devil, or it might be the Lord/But you gotta serve somebody......"
-Bob Dylan

Robin Hood (2010)
Marion Loxley: Are you coming?
Robin Longstride: If you ask me nicely.
Marion Loxley: [sarcastically] My dear husband, won't you kindly share my bedroom chambers?

Marion Loxley: Once before I said goodbye to a man going to war. He never came back.
Robin Longstride: Ask me nicely.
[She smiles, steps forward. They kiss]
Robin Longstride: [fervently] I love you, Marion.
