A history teacher at my school:

No one has yet figured out what he ment.

“if trees had horses, would be single”

popular legend had it that he told only graduating seniors, but no one from our class could confirm this, because he retired before we graduated. ive heard from other sources (namely, tireman) that it in fact means nothing, and was specifically used to get students to think (and partly as a joke).

All these quotes come from sailor buddies of mine:

Jimmy Buffet’s song Fruitcakes:

Where’s the church, who took the steeple
Religion is in the hands of some crazy-ass people
Television preachers with bad hair and dimples
The god’s honest truth is it’s not that simple
It’s the buddhist in you, it’s the pagan in me
It’s the muslim in him, she’s catholic ain’t she?
It’s the born again look it’s the wasp and the jew
Tell me what’s goin on, I ain’t gotta clue

Modern day epicurian!

Today is the day when General Tony McAuliffe announced to the German commander: Nuts! during the battle of the bulge as his reply to surrender terms for Bastogne.

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.  The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is far worse.  The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.”
John Stewart Mill

Another sailor buddy of mine:
