"Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours" - Richard Back

"I've been stabbed 6 times, shot 4 times, had a clawhammer punched into my skull, been hit in the back with a sledgehammer and run over twice. I don't think you can blame it on mental problems when I say that some people just don't seem to like me very much" - Mark Brandon 'chopper' Read.

heaps of others, but it would take me a lifetime to list them all.

...better use a bigger gun I'm not dead yet!- Bob Dylan

Actually Dylan had so many quotable lyrics I've forgotton which one is my favorite.

"As it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement."

Hebrews 9:27.

And some runners up:

"Some buy, some don't, so what? Next!"

"Man passeth away like a shadow, he is disquieted in vain, he heapeth up riches, and cannot tell who shall gather them."

Also any quote involving how much more introspective/smarter/wittier/etc. I am than anyone else.
