I think that quote's older than Billy Connelly :)

Mine is on my sig, but here it is in its full version.

"We are discreet sheep; we wait to see how the drove is going, and then go with the drove. We have two opinions: one private, which we are afraid to express; and another one - the one we use - which we force ourselves to wear to please Mrs. Grundy, until habit makes us comfortable in it, and the custom of defending it presently makes us love it, adore it, and forget how pitifully we came by it. Look at it in politics."

I'm surprised no-one's mentioned the famous Winston Churchill/Lady Astor quotes yet:


"Lady Astor: "Mr. Churchill, you're drunk!"
Winston Churchill: "Yes, and you, Madam, are ugly. But tomorrow, I shall be sober." "


"The two politicians had been at each other's throat all weekend when Lady Astor said, "Winston, if I were your wife I'd put poison in your coffee." Whereupon Winston said, "Nancy, if I were your husband I'd drink it." "

I will share one of my really useful all time personal favourites though....

'Never confuse paranoia with intelligence' ;)

'The most talked about show in South Yorkshire'
by Nick Margerrison...

'What the hell was that?'

Lord Mayor of Hiroshima

A couple from Bill Hicks (with the swearing edited):

"See, what's cool is every pack [of cigarettes] has a different Surgeon-General's warning. Isn't that great? Mine Says: 'Warning: Smoking may cause foetal injury or premature birth'. Ha Ha Ha! Found my brand. Just don't get the ones that say 'lung cancer', you know. Shop around, man."

"'Cigarette smoke contains Carbon Monoxide'. Well so does my car and it still runs."

"The fact that we live in a world where John Lennon was murdered, yet Barry Manilow continues to put out albums. Goddamn it. If you're gonna kill someone, have some taste."

"George Bush says we are losing the war on drugs. You know what that implies? There's a war being fought, and people on drugs are winning it!"

"I can't have a job: I need my sleep. I do. I need eight hours a day, you know, and about ten at night."

"You know what? Here's my actual truth...I've had a vision. And what it is, is although this is a world where good men are murdered in their prime, and mediocre hacks thrive and proliferate, I gotta share this with ya, cos I love you and you feel that. You know all that money we spend on nuclear wepaons and defence every year? Trillions of dollars? Correct? Trillions. Instead, if we spent that money feeding and clothing the poor of the world, which it wouold pay for many times over, not one human being exluded, not one, we could, as a race, explore outer space together in peace for ever."

And my all time favourite:

"I'll tell you something else. I know it's not a popular idea, you don't hear it very often anymore, but it's the truth. I have taken drugs before and...ahh...I had a real good time. Sorry! Didn't murder anybody, didn't rob anybody, didn't rape anybody, didn't beat anybody, didn't lose...mmmm..one job. Laughed my ass off....and went about my day."

Here are a few of my favorites from H. L. Mencken:

*Puritanism. The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.

*The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line.

*We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.
