"Trying is the first step toward failure."


My favorite Homer quote, probably favorite Simpsons quote too.

Add yours, please! Not just Homer stuff.

I love anyone that can quote Simpsons.

"I'm gonna lose my job, just because I'm dangerously unqualified."

Marge: “The plant said if you don’t come in tomorrow, don’t bother coming in Monday.”

Homer: “Woo-hoo! Four day weekend!”

Sorry, Homer is just soooooooooooo quoteable:

Homer to Marge: "Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals.....except the weasels.."

Homer to Bart: "Bacon-up that sausage boy!!!"

Homer to no one in particular: "Just once, I'd like someone to call me 'sir', without adding 'you're making a scene'"..

OK, one from Superintendent Chalmers to Skinner: "you are an odd fellow but I must say you steam a good ham"

There's no need to murmur, ma'am. Here at Itchy and Scratchy Land, we're just as concerned with violence as you are. That's why we're always careful to show the consequences of deadly mayhem, so that we may educate as well as horrify.

When do you show the consequences? On TV, that mouse pulled out that cat's lungs and played them like a bagpipe, but in the next scene, the cat was breathing comfortably.

Just like in real life.

Morris "Moe" Szyslak: "Don't eat nothin' for the next three days, 'cause I'm taking you out for a steak the size of a toilet seat!"

My favorite Moe quote is when he shows up to Marge's dinner party, and instead of shoes, he's wearing bread bags over his feet.

She looks at them and I think questions him.

Moe replies: "What, you don't like my bags?"

LOL! One can literally go on for hours quoting Simpsons with no degradation in quality of laughs..

C. Montgomery Burns: "Smithers had thwarted my earlier attempt to take candy from a baby, but with him out of the picture, I was free to wallow in my own crapulence."

Or so I thought...

lmao !! yes that one

Mr Burns: "Men, there's a little crippled boy laying in that hospital that wants you to win this game. I know...because I crippled him myself to inspire you."

Milhouse: "Ehhh I hope they win, or else Mr Burns said he's coming back."
