"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."
–Pablo Picasso
Groucho had several (I might be going through a little misogyny feelings but it will pass):
"Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution?"
"Man does not control his own fate; the women in his life do that for him."
"Behind every successful man is a woman; behind her is his wife."
And one of the all time classics, "I would NEVER join a club that would have ME as a member."
Does that one not apply to members of forums?
"Women and cats will do as they please, and Men and dogs should just relax and get used to the idea" --- Robert A. Heinlein
Some gems from crazy-ass New Englander Steven Tyler:
Confuscious says that crowded elevators smell differently to midgets
I love every bone in a woman's body, especially mine
Shit fire and save matches, fuck a duck and see what hatches
“One man’s remorse is another man’s reminiscence.” Ogden Nash
and an excerpt from one of my very favorites
“One final paragraph of advice: do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am - a reluctant enthusiast....a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it’s still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely, mysterious, and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much; I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound men and women with their hearts in a safe deposit box, and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this; You will outlive the bastards.”
Edward Abbey

These three certainly apply to blackjack:
"When you earnestly believe that you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no limit to what you can't do."
"Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."
"The secret to success is knowing who to blame for your failures."
Rules to live by:
1. "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 either. JUST LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!"
2. "The journey of 1000 miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire."
3. "It's always darkest before the dawn, so if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it."
4. "Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted."
5. "It takes two people to lie; one to lie, and one to listen" -Homer Simpson
Where can a guy find a soul mate for life? Not in a casino for sure, but somewhere else, like in a 24/7 Church, perhaps?
"Proverb 31 describes the “wife of noble character.” She is a woman who
• has confidence of her husband;
• works hard running an international business;
• gets up early and provides for her family and employees;
• owns property and cares for the poor;
• clothes her household well and dresses beautifully herself;
• is in charge of the home and her children honor her;
• fears God and is respected by people in her community.
Does she sound like a modern day super-woman? She is no doubt capable and yet feminine. She is no weakling."
By unknown. The above quotes were forwarded to me in an email.
