"Puns are little plays on words that a certain breed of person loves to spring on you and then look at you in a certain self-satisfied way to indicate that he thinks that you must think that he is by far the cleverest person on Earth now that Benjamin Franklin is dead, when in fact what you are thinking is that if this person ever ends up in a lifeboat, the other passengers will hurl him overboard by the end of the first day even if they have plenty of food and water." – Dave Barry
THIS! ;D ;D

Glad you enjoyed that one.  It made me think of Mhera.

"I've been giving thought to the idea of naming my child. It's a great responsibility, you know, choosing a right name. If I call him 'Zeus'... but that would cause problems of high expectations. Maybe I call him "Offal." That would cause problems of low expectations. Maybe I call him "FIRE!!" That would cause panic whenever someone calls his name; I would like this." – Tannhauser, Bullet in the Face

"Many people don't know how to get better. They are constantly asking, 'How do I make myself better, I'm so weak, or bad compared to him or her.' The answer is simple, train right next those people, those who are better then you, that are faster then you, that are stronger then you, that are smarter then you. If your a competitive person like me this will drive you crazy. You'll do your best to keep up, to go as fast, and to be as good. The more your stuck in their shadow the more you'll want to come out, to rise above anything they'll do. The world is all psychological, if you have the right mindset, you can do anything, you can beat any record, and destroy any obstacle. So you ready? Lets go run." ~ Professional Triathlete

"Rule number two is break the rules. We have so many rules in life about everything, I said break the rules not the law-but break the rules. It is impossible to be amazing, or truly original if your too well behaved and do not want to break the rules. You have to think outside the box. Because I mean what's the point of being on this earth if all you want to do is be like everyone else and avoid trouble. The only way your going to get anywhere is by breaking some of the rules." ~Arnold Schwarzenegger

"I don't count my sit-ups, I only start counting when it starts hurting, and I feel pain. That's when I start counting because that's when it really counts. That's what makes you a champion. That's the way it is with everything; no pain, no gain." ~Muhammad Ali

@Skarzs:

"Because you feel that you should get the same response that you would give. I understand completely, to a degree you may not understand. Often I don't know why I voice my problems, but thus is human nature; we are social creatures."

"Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground."

"Believe you can and you're halfway there."

"A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad."

"Great thoughts speak only to the thoughtful mind, but great actions speak to all mankind."

"The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything."

"With self-discipline most anything is possible."

"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing."

And, of course, my favorite ;D
"If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month."

-All by Teddy Roosevelt
"'Tis the business of small minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."
-Thomas Paine

"Integrity and firmness is all I can promise; these, be the voyage long or short, shall never forsake me although I may be deserted by all men."
-George Washington
