Many well known people departed in 2008 and though they will not walk this way again, their words live on and shall be remembered.
"The four most dangerous words in investing are 'This time it's different.'" --Sir John Templeton
"I would like to electrocute everyone who uses the word "fair" in connection with income tax policies." --William F. Buckley, Jr.
"Nobody climbs mountains for scientific reasons. Science is used to raise money for the expeditions, but you really climb for the hell of it." --Sir Edmund Hillary
"I've played three presidents, three saints and two geniuses--and that's probably enough for any man." --Charlton Heston
"What advice would I give a doctor preparing for surgery? First and foremost, walk into the right operating room. After you've got the right room, make sure you've got the right patient." --Dr. Michael DeBakey (Pioneering heart surgeon who performed 60,000 operations.)
"I opened the door for a lot of people, and they just ran through and left me holding the knob." --Bo Diddley (American rock and roll icon.)
"The embarrassing thing is that the salad dressing is outgrossing my films." --Paul Newman
"Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck." --George Carlin
"Who's the cat that won't cop out, when there's danger all about? Shaft! Right On! They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother--Shut your mouth! I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft. Then we can dig it!" --Issac Hayes, lyric from "Shaft"
"To the earth, a hundred years is nothing. A million years is nothing. This planet lives and breathes on a much vaster scale. We can't imagine its slow and powerful rhythms, and we haven't got the humility to try. We've been residents here for the blink of an eye. If we're gone tomorrow, the earth will not miss us...Let's be clear. The planet is not in jeopardy. We are in jeopardy. We haven't got the power to destroy the planet -- or save it. But we might have the power to save ourselves." --Michael Crichton (Doctor, author of Jurassic Park and creator of tv show "ER.")
"I'm sure the universe is full of intelligent life. It's just been too intelligent to come here." --Sir Arthur C. Clarke (Futurist, science fiction author of Childhood's End and 2001: A Space Odyssey.)
