Hey Gang,
I've seen some pretty slick quotes in people's signatures and thought it might be interesting to learn the what, where, who and why behind the. If you care to share I'm sure many others besides myself would enjoy hearing about it. I will start:
"When walking in open territory bother no one. If someone bothers you ask him to stop. If he does not, destroy him." This one is a bit odd in terms of its origin, since it was from Anton LaVey in 1966. Now the man and his teachings in no way do I support, but this specific quote I did find a lot of wisdom and truth in. To me it means live and let live, but if you can't follow that and still find it necessary to f**k with me then bring it on because I will win. This really came on lately since a lot of people in my hometown and some people that I'd rather not deal with again keep trying to dork around with me and my family, stumbled across the quote and liked it so I adopted it lol. That being said, what are some of y'all's????

Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

Off topic: How's the little one doing?
Probably getting big and into everything?

Thanks for asking Tony! Cael just turned 1 on February 20th and I'm hitting 26 in a few days. He is gigantic, just a few inches shy of 3 feet tall already, and weighs 26lbs! He is crawling and pulling himself up on stuff already and going a million miles an hour! All in all doing realllllly really well!
My signature line is from Charles Haddon Spurgeon, who was a well-known Baptist preacher in London in the 19th century. He was also well-known for his love of fine cigars. The quote is part of his response when he was chastised by another famous preacher, Dwight L. Moody, for engaging in the "sin" of smoking. I chose it because I am also a preacher and a cigar lover.
FYI a but more on mine I relation to Anton LaVey, and to explain why I said I like the quote but in NO way support the source that it comes from. I love history, religion etc and reading about all of it. Anton LaVey was the one who penned the first Satanic Bible in 1966. Hence my explanation, I do NOT support that in any way, but I love that quote and try to live by it among a few others. So yeah great quote but bad source lol. And hence why I don't quote the source in my sig, I have no doubt that those who don't know me or care to would immediately label me with that group which I wouldn't appreciate it.
Sometimes, people make judgements without knowing the facts first, which is a shame.
Because when they do that, they miss out on a whole lot.
Just saying.
