Speaking of good quotes from TV heroes, here's one from The Walking Dead, season 3 or 4 I believe:

"I can save lives. That's reason enough to risk mine." -- Hershel in 'The Walking Dead'

[RJDiogenes]

I loved Hershel. He was one of my favorite characters.

I loved Hershel. He was one of my favorite characters.

Mine, too. He and Merle. What a shame they were killed off.

hmm, I'm afraid most of my favourites are untranslatable puns. But I always liked Arafat's "pick your friends prudently - your enemies will find you without your assistance".
And I'm not sure who said it but it's only too true: war doesn't decide who's right, it only decides who's left.

^Apparently the origin of the quote is a little bit of a mystery.

[RJDiogenes]

That reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

It's attributed to Edmund Burke, but no definitive source has been found. I'm thinking of taking credit for it myself.

"Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind"- the Doctor.

[RJDiogenes]

From last night, I assume? Sounds like my favorite Doctor is going out on a nice (and kind) note.

[Lupine]

^Yeah, he was giving a monologue as advice to his future self. It also included a warning against eating pears.

[RJDiogenes]

Interesting. Since he's the Doctor, he should be warning against apples.

He wanted that on his tombstone.
