I've always liked these ones:


“How, sir, would you make a ship sail against the wind and currents by lighting a bonfire under her deck? I pray you, excuse me, I have not the time to listen to such nonsense.”
— Napoleon Bonaparte, to Robert Fulton


"Aerial flight is one of that class of problems with which Man will never be able to cope."
- Simon Newcomb , 1903

"The popular mind often pictures gigantic flying machines speeding across the Atlantic, carrying innumerable passengers; in a way analogous to our modern steam ships. It seems safe to say that such ideas are wholly visionary ….."
– William H. Pickering, 1910

"If God had meant for Man to fly, He wouldn’t have put all this traction down here."
-Henry Ford, c1900 (Apocryphal)

"Space Travel is Utter Bilge"
-Richard Wooley, astronomer, 1956

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Snopes says this one is BS:

" To President Jackson,
The canal system of this country is being threatened by the spread of a new form of transportation known as "railroads." The federal government must preserve the canals for the following reasons:
One. If canal boats are supplanted by "railroads" serious unemployment will result. Captains, cooks, drivers, hostlers, repairmen and lock tenders will be left without means of livelihood, not to mention the numerous farmers now employed in growing hay for the horses.

Two. Boat builders would suffer, and towline, whip and harness makers would be left destitute.

Three. Canal boats are absolutely essential to the defense of the United States. In the event of the expected trouble with England, the Erie Canal would be the only means by which we could ever move the supplies so vital to waging modern war.

As you may well know, Mr. President, "railroad" carriages are pulled at the enormous speed of fifteen miles per hour by "engines" which, in addition to endangering life and limb of passengers, roar and snort their way through the countryside, setting fire to crops, scaring the livestock, and frightening women and children. The Almighty certainly never intended that people should travel at such breakneck speed.
Martin Van Buren
Governor of New York"

Life may not be the party we expected, but as long as we're here, we may as well dance.

Do something stupid, you better hope the cops find you before I do.

Forgive and Forget - I may forgive you, but be assured I NEVER forget.

"If you dont like it here pack your F_ _______ bags and leave!"

Funny I packed my bags and left then they begged for me to come back.

If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong.

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?
