Here's one for all the quotemongers.

Looking for Firefly proverbs, truisms, and philosophies -- but there's a hitch. They have to make sense out of context, without knowing a thing about the characters, and not be a multi-character dialogue extract, but rather one coherent thought. Speeches, one-liners, anything that says something about life even if you've never heard of Firefly.

Think of it as a challenge. And you never know, these might just come in handy for all those hoping to convert others...

And I've already got "We've done the impossible and that makes us mighty".

Every well-bred petty crook knows that the small, concealable weapons go to the far left of the place setting.

It's my estimation that...every man ever got a
statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or
another.



Yeah, and if wishes were horses we'd all be eatin' steak.

A captain's job is simple: Find a crew, find a job, keep flying.

You got a job, we can do it. Don't much care what it is.

"No power in the 'verse can stop me!"

And:

The woods are the only place where I can see a clear path.
