Notice that the title is not the "Best Quotes" or even my "favorite" quotes. Why is this? There's a great possibility that I have missed or forgotten a great quote. That's where you, beloved reader, come into the equation. Make this interactive... give me some of your favorite quotes.
10. "Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it."
- Abraham Lincoln
9. "Knowledge is power."
- Francis Bacon
8. "I haven't failed. I have found 10,000 ways that won't work."
- Thomas Edison, on his experiments to achieve a feasible electric lamp (light bulb).
7. "Power Corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely."
- Lord Acton
6. "Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired."
- Mother Teresa
5. "I am the Lord's servant. May it be to me according to your word."

- Solomon
3. "Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose, Nothing ... don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free."
- Janis Joplin, Me and Bobby McGee (Yes, I am aware that Kris Kristofferson wrote the song, however:
A. Joplin slightly changed this line, and I like it better this way
B. It sounds so much better when Janis sings it.)
2. "Those who do not listen, must feel."
- My paternal grandfather (though I'm willing to admit that he probably was not the first to say it).
1. " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

10 Reasons I want to be a Doctor
(Just in case there is actually someone out there stupid enough to need the following disclaimer...
None of this is real, this is for comedy purposes only, and I really do want to be a doctor for all of the right reasons [none of which are listed here.])
10. I'd get to see naked people.
9. The easy hours, I mean... doctors clearly have time to play golf all of the time, so...
8. Free scrubs.
7. The way that universal health care is going to pave the way to medical greatness, so long as we elect the medical system genius Hillary Clinton.
6. I get to put M.D. after my name... on EVERYTHING.
5. The smell of hospitals in winter {and the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, with no pearl}.
4. The fact that doctors are never, ever involved in frivolous lawsuits.
3. Pelvic Exams.
2. The millions of dollars the average American seems to think M.D.'s pull down every year.
1. Rectal Exams.
P.S.
Thank you Governor Romney. Today you did the right thing, and did it with a lot of tact and you were able to make a good political point while doing it. My respect for you has increased, and even though I still feel that you should not be the President of this country, you did a good thing for America today.

10 Things I hate about you (my neighbors)
10. You go to ODU.
9. You have no idea how to parallel park. In the rare event that I need to park on the street you manage to fuck it up.
8. Spontaneous hysterical laughter, always occurring between 12-4 am.
7. Your terrible taste in "music". I had to put music in quotes because I've only ever heard you play techno and the all-star rock ballad "crazy bitch," which is of course, a profound song.
6. You go to ODU.
5. The way you eyeball me when I take out my trash.
4. The way you take out your trash -- if you would put it in bags properly flies and maggots wouldn't be all up in our trash cans.
3. You go to ODU.
2. The raucous sex at 2:57 am last night. I didn't need to hear that.
1. The showers. I swear you douchebags take 8 showers a day. There's never any hot water if I have to shower in the morning.
