Quotes that I like

From the poem "Power of a smile" by Tupac Shakur
"The power of a gun can kill, and the power of fire can burn
The power of wind can chill, and the power of mind can learn
The power of anger, can raise inside until it tears you apart
But the power of a smile, especially yours, can heal a frozen heart"

From SNL skit featuring Chris Farley as motivational speaker Matt Foley
"Lets get started by letting me give you a scenario of what my life is all about,i'm 35 years old,I am divorced,and I live in a van down by the river."

A few quotes from Tiger Woods
"i want to be what i've always wanted to be:dominant"
"i'm addicted.I'm addicted to golf"
"no matter how good you get, you can always get better and thats the exciting part"
"days when you just don't have it,you don't mail it in,you don't pack it in,you give it every thing you've got.You grind it out.I don't care what kind of game you have,you somehow try and find a way to get it done."

A few quotes from Demetri Martin
"If I ever saw an amputee getting hanged,i'd probably just start calling out letters"
"The easiest time to add insult to injury is when your signing somebody's cast"

A few quotes from Mitch Hedberg
"You know,I'm sick of following my dreams,man.I'm just gonna ask them where they're going and hook up with 'em later"
"Last week I helped my friend stay put.It's a lot easier than helping somebody move.I just went over to his house and made sure that he did not start to load shit into a truck."
"I saw a commercial on late night TV,it said "Forget anything you know about slipcovers."So I did,and it was a load off my mind.Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn't know what the hell they were"
