For my man Hobbes 
“In the state of nature profit is the measure of right.”
“Curiosity is the lust of the mind.”
“That a man be willing, when others are so too, as far forth as for peace and defense of himself he shall think it necessary, to lay down this right to all things; and be contented with so much liberty against other men, as he would allow other men against himself.”
“Andy Warhol got it right - everybody gets the limelight. Andy Warhol got it wrong - fifteen minutes is too long.”
Try to stay in the middle of the air. Do not go near the edges of it. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly there.

Cheers YC!
I particularly like the one on curiosity. Got to put that one into a sig at some point.
Returning the favor…
(Yes, finding Cartman quotes online is easy – finding ones that (a) are not guaranteed to offend a number of posters, and (b) don’t require me to censor out half the #*&@%$! words … less easy 
)

Stan: “Sure, dude, you’re our friend.”
Token: “Yeah, I know. But you guys always rip on me for being rich.”
Stan: “Dude, just because we rip on you for being rich doesn’t mean we don’t like you.”

“A good compromise leaves everybody mad.”
“Somewhere in communist Russia I’ll bet there’s a little boy who has never known anything but CENSORSHIP and OPPRESSION.

The Harivasana
The good things in life are free, some things you just have to pay for.
I’m not a racist, I hate ecerybody equally.
I know that most men even those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity can seldom admit to the simplest and most obvious of truth; if it be such that it oblidge them to admit to a falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, profoundly taught to others, and woven thread by thread into the very fabric of their lives.

It doesn’t matter if you are the lion or the gazelle, when the sun comes up, you better be moving.
