There are a LOT of Zappa quotes that I like and think are spot on, but this is my favorite:
“You can't always write a chord ugly enough to say what you want to say, so sometimes you have to rely on a giraffe filled with whipped cream.”
I think that's what the rest of the guys were thinking about THIS CHB CHOOON

If that song only had a seven minute ending lead it might really be something!

My favourite quote is a Churchill one too:
"The greatest aspect of fame is that if you bore guests at a party, they blame themselves."
And there's this one (paraphrased ... don't know the exact wording): "Yes, madam, I am drunk. And you are ugly. However, in the morning I shall be sober."

By - J.R.R. Tolkien
"Nearly all marriages, even happy ones, are mistakes: in the sense that almost certainly (in a more perfect world, or even with a little more care in this very imperfect one) both partners might be found more suitable mates. But the real soul-mate is the one you are actually married to". By one of his characters "I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve." Bilbo Baggins in Lord of the Rings C.S. Lewis
"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." and C.S. Lewis on hearing Tolkien latest tale -"By God, not another [expletive deleted] elf"

The Jim Elliot quote is great.
A favorite of mine from Chuck Missler, "Torture the data enough, and it will confess to anything."
And one from a friend, regarding what seems to be going on all too often, "If more is enough, then too much is just right."

This one from Catch 22 has long been a favorite of mine … "It made him proud that 29 months in the service had not blunted his genius for ineptitude" — Joseph Heller When I use it I tweak it for the situation. For example: Four years of hanging out in the Coffee House has not “blunted his genius for ineptitude.”

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill
The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. Winston Churchill Science in the modern world has many uses; its chief use, however, is to provide long words to cover the errors of the rich. Gilbert K. Chesterton The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because generally they are the same people. Gilbert K. Chesterton There is nothing the matter with Americans except their ideals. The real American is all right; it is the ideal American who is all wrong. Gilbert K. Chesterton
