WT Forums

I want to start a new thread here and keep it going on, well, indefinitely.

Just a word of wisdom or quote of the day. Something witty, or silly, or profound, or reflective, or relevant, or whatever else. If you visit WT and see there's no quote since your last visit, please do keep it going.

But i'd like to see a self-enforced -yes, that means you too .44HP - <b>1 quote per day per poster</b> rule maintained.

I'll start it off with one:

<font color=yellow><font size=4><i> "The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it."</i></font id=size4>
<b>~Orwell</b></font id=yellow>

The "Word" of the day is Leg's............Help spread the word!

I'd rather be lucky than good...

You're born, you keep your head down and you die. If you're lucky...

EDIT BY M21SNIPER:

I understand the pressing need to make fun of .44HP's ahem....exploits....but i wanna keep this thread for quotes only fellas.

I guess this is as good a place as any to say hi to Sniper. Thanks for inviting me to this board. I'm a regular poster on WAB with lots of hot air to vent. So I figure I join another board to shoot the breeze.

Not really a quote, just something I pondered recently.
