+GeoBlank Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 While shopping online for geocaching branded items I ran into these 2 quotes... "We never seek things for themselves-what we seek is the very seeking of things." Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) "Not all those that wander are lost." J.R.R. Tolkien I thought it might be fun to post other real quotes that relate to caching. I have also seen some very good Bible verses that one could relate to the sport of caching but do not recall them off the top of my head. (Of course this may have been done already but without being able to search the forums I could not check... ) Quote Link to comment
+the hermit crabs Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I have also seen some very good Bible verses that one could relate to the sport of caching but do not recall them off the top of my head. I think "Seek and ye shall find" is a bible one, isn't it? Quote Link to comment

I think "Seek and ye shall find" is a bible one, isn't it? and treasure buried in a field Hmmmmm...that sounds familiar I have a couple shirts in my shop with some quotes on them...they're not really about geocaching, but I think they relate to the spirit of the game well: "Adventure is worthwhile itself."--Amelia Earhart "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."--Helen Keller Bret Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 "Adventure is worthwhile itself."--Amelia Earhart "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."--Helen Keller Yeah, but she DNF'd the airport on her last trip. I think I'll avoid that shirt, for the same reason that I didn't buy "Amelia Earhart" brand luggage... I don't want my luggage to get lost. Now, the Helen Keller quote I can relate to. I am often comparing myself to her when I am the last person in the group to see the cache. Quote Link to comment

J.R.R. Tolkien Hmmm... that looks familiar One of the best I've seen was here in the forums, somebody's sig was something to the effect of "I use multi-billion dollar military satellite technology to find tupperware in the woods. And you?" Edited December 28, 2005 by wandererrob Quote Link to comment

There's a better reason for you to avoid the shirts...they're in the women's department...I'm afraid you just wouldn't look good in a Jr. Spaghetti Tank-top, Dave. Bret Quote Link to comment
+gcslim Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 My personal favorite... The task is not so much to see what no one yet has seen, but to think what nobody yet has thought about that which everyone sees. --Arthur Schopenhauer Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Not sure of the source but I found this a few years ago. "To Hide is the beginning to Find is the result to seek is the adventure" Quote Link to comment

+FletchWL Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 My favorite modified Twain quote: "Outside of a dog a GPSr is man's best friend; inside of a dog it's too dark to see the coords." Quote Link to comment

Grouch Marx, actually. This one might work well for some caching clubs: I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members.Groucho Marx Bret Quote Link to comment
