Heh, I just noticed it yesterday, so it is still fresh in my mind.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. - Ronald Reagan

"The formula for water is H2O, which means that it's made of Hydrogen, Oxygen, but there is a third part that makes water that no one knows what it is."
If it was true the formula for water would be
H2OX. Has he ever thought about the impurities in water?

Whiskey is for drinking, because of water do wars break out.
I have no idea what this means, but it makes a lot of sence.
@African Saying
Only a fool checks the depth of the water with both legs.

it's the same man you have quoted in your signature
It's a comment on cynicism as opposed to humanity in general. Wilde's original words were: "A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing"

Is not that government both unjust and ungrateful, that is so prodigal of its favours to those that are called gentlemen, or goldsmiths, or such others who are idle, or live either by flattery or by contriving the arts of vain pleasure, and, on the other hand, takes no care of those of a meaner sort, such as ploughmen, colliers, and smiths, without whom it could not subsist?
