[Hikaro Takayama]

The only measure that separates genius from insanity is success or failure.

If all the lawyers in the country were laid end-to-end, it would be a good thing.

And a long one from the Ace-High Belle Star (long rider) about being friends with those outside the law:

"You can just say that I am a friend to any brave and gallant outlaw, but have no use for that sneaking, coward class of thieves who can be found in every locality, and who would betray a friend or comrade for the sake of their own gain.  There are three or four jolly, good fellows on the dodge now in my section, and when they come to my home they are welcome, for they are my friends, would lay down their lives in my defense at any time the occasion demanded it, and go their full length to serve me in any way."

"gravity is a harsh mistress"

And of course:

It isn't gravity that hurts, it's the ground.

It's not the fall the kills you, it's the sudden stop at the bottom.

Said to the Russian pilot who had just ejected from a disintegrating fighter jet following a mid air colision at an airshow.......

Gomers go down with the lights
There's no body cavity that can't be reached with a 14 gauge needle and a strong arm.

   And also on the unjust fella,
But chiefly on the just, because

I test my bath before I sit,
and am always moved to wonderment,
that what chills the finger not one bit,
is so frigid on the fundement
