If you'd be so kind as to click on my webpage you shall see:
"While the wicked stand confounded, call me with the Saints surrounded." in gaelic.

The best way I can describe what this means is actually another quote from someone else. I'm so brilliant huh.
"This is addressed to God. When the end of the world is here and those who are judged to be wicked are punished, please put me with the blessed/righteous."

I found out later that in the movie "Boondock Saints," in the famous rope/armory scene you'll see the irish flag with this quote written above it. I picked it as my favorite quote first though. Copycats.

Also:
"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." - The Usual Suspects
"It takes 46 muscles to frown but only 4 to flip 'em the bird. " - u/k
"My sons think it's a fireman's pole, but I forgot to cut a hole through the ground into the kitchen." - Pamela Anderson

I'm not sure this fits here but I like the saying

Since I usually stay more to the comedic side, I always liked "air goes in and out, blood goes round and round, any deviation from that is bad" more for new students, but works for any situation. lol!.

This is by a man I admire, RFK . Google RFK Quotes and you will see what I mean.

Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality of those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change.

As we say in emergency dispatch. " There's no such thing as a rekindle. You just didn't put it out in the first place"

I like that one, knock it down first and you won't have a rekindle, Very Good One

When we clear the scene. I tell my men "Let's go to the barn."
