Q: What is your favourite quote?

So what are your favourites? Confucius, or anyone, funny, inspiring, deep or shallow.

 

Mine:

 

I may be drunk miss, but you are ugly, however, in the morning I shall be sober.

Sir Winston Churchill (allegedly to Lady Astor)

 

In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.

Thomas Jefferson

 

There comes a time in the affairs of man when he must take the bull by the tail and face the situation.

W.C. Fields.

 

It is good for an uneducated man to read a book of quotations.

Sir Winston Churchill.

  King Harold at the battle of Hastings, to one of his archers.

  "Watch it mate, you're gonna have someone's eye out with that."

 

  Trying to think of a Chinese one but i'm stumped, though I was in a restaurant last week where I told the waiter I thought the chicken tasted rubbery. He smiled and said, "Awww, thangyoo vey mush, awwl arr chiggin tace rubbery!"

  That's kind of a quote isn't it? Offensive maybe, but still a quote.

Chinese one:

 Man with hole in pocket feel cocky all day.  (Confucius)

The moment when a man's head drops off is seldom or never, I am inclined to think, precisely the most agreeable of his life.

Zen quotations:

 

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I
may not follow. Do not walk beside me for the path is narrow. In fact, just
piss off and leave me alone.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a flat
tyre.

The darkest hour is just before dawn. So if you're going to steal your
neighbour's milk, that's the time to do it.

No one is listening until you fart.
 

Before you criticise someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, when you criticise them, you're a mile away AND you have their
shoes.

Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side and a dark side, and it
holds the universe together.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.


Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a
fruit salad.

Answer of the DayMORE >>

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
