Famous Quotes that could pertain to Geocaching.


El Diablo

Recommended Posts

pertaining to the Geocaching "Family" and my wishes for it:

 

... And it seemed real. It seemed like us. And it seemed like well ... our home . . . If not Arizona, then a land, not too far away, where all parents are strong and wise and capable, and all children are happy and beloved..... I dunno, maybe it was Utah.

 

(closing scene from "Raising Arizona" )

I suppose "Finding My Way" is as good a quote as any, even if Peart didn't write the lyric.

When a man lies

He murders some part of the world

These are the pale deaths

Which men miscall their lives

All this I cannot bare to witness any longer

Cannot the kingdom of salvation

Take me home.

 

Metallica

…And Justice for All

To Live is to Die

Composer, Cliff Burton

 

This may not seem like a caching quote, but more a statement on life. However, how we play the game is how we live our lives, therefore, honesty in all our endeavors, will only act to serve us better.

In his later life ... Daniel Boone was asked if in all his explorations had he ever been lost ... his answer is still one of my favorite quotes:

quote:
I have never been lost, but I will admit to being confused for several weeks.

Someone said it, I know, because I've heard it.

 

And a quote with a twist:

 

Are you kidding me? This is not your playground guys. Cut the garbage posting and get out there and cache!

Believe those who are seeking

the cache. Doubt those who find it.

 

If the Journey is the prize,

then arrival is the anti-climax.

 

Seek not, lest ye find.

 

What light through yonder meadow breaks?

Tis the cache, and my TBs are gone.

 

Trouble not the seeker, for his eyes lie afar.

 

Get me a Shrubbery!

 

He seeks a sip from the Holy Grayle, and yet he drinks deeply of virtue. (Lance du Lac)

 

What seek you? Knowledge?

Tell me of your journey.

 

He sought after treasures,

he found them within himself.

 

Would you ask a cat to say his name?

Would you listen if he did?

Could you catch him at his game?

A cat's secrets are well hid.

 

All will come, a part of the game

Each piece a puzzle, and all the same.

 

Lead me on o'faerie light,

bright yet elusive

you call me, I go.

 

You can not hide what is found

You can not put the sun in your pocket.

 

For the secrets kept inside

The box was opened,

Pandora wept.

 

Through swamp and mud

all day he had struggled

alas! alack!

The cache has been Muggled!!!

 

Eureka! I have Found it.

OOPs it's a sewer pipe.

In regards to the forums and with apologies to the author:

 

"The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails--given by one Shepherd. Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many forums there is no end, and much posting wearies the body."

Ecclesiastes 12:11-12

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.

Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.

The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves."

"The explorers of the past were great men and we should honour them. But let us not forget that their spirit lives on. It is still not hard to find a man who will adventure for the sake of a dream or one who will search, for the pleasure of searching, not for what he may find."

 

- Sir Edmund Hillary-1958

"For, what with my whole world-wide wandering,

What with my search drawn out through years, my hope

Dwindled into a ghost not fit to cope

With that obstreperous joy success would bring,

I hardly tried now to rebuke the spring

My heart made, finding failure in its scope."

 

- Robert Browning, Childe Roland To The Dark Tower Came

It is the tale, not he who tells it."

Going to the Dogs

 

My granddad viewing earth's worn cogs,

Said things were gong to the dogs;

His granddad in his house of logs,

Said things were going to the dogs;

His granddad in the Flemish bogs,

Said things were going to the dogs;

His granddad in his old skin togs,

Said things were going to the dogs;

There's one thing that I have to state-

The dogs have had a good long wait.
