"Three things greater than all else ...

Post by der Moench »

... are women and horses and war." So sayeth Rudyard Kipling. (Actually, I think the original quote is: "Four things greater than all else are women, and horses, and wine, and war." But when I was a kid collecting quotes, I didn't like wine, so I censored that one out! :o ).

Anyhoo! Whaddya all think are "three things greater than all else" - ?

I'd say: Women, and German beer, and chocolate! They go great together, too. :D *Ahem!*

Opinions?

To me personally the three things greater than all else would be Science, Sex and Nature.

(Sex = men in my case, Nature = preferably mountains, sea and desert. )

If I'm allowed four things, I would add Art.

Hmmmm.....
1) Companionship-friendships/relationships
2)Nature
3)Religeon

Just missing the cut is sports and music. I dunno how I would get around without sports and music, but they dont rank above the 3 listed....

Cool topic

* Freedom
* Engineering
* Reason

@Gruntboy: I would have thought that "aircraft carriers" would have been on your list! ;)

EDIT!! Hmmm ... I have had a change of heart. Here is a better list for me:

* Freedom (especially economic freedom - i.e. capitalism)
* Integrity
* Engineering (especially things like aircraft carriers, stealth bombers, and M1A2 Abrams tanks, @Gruntboy. ;) )

Ah! Much better!

LOL! I was trying to think in terms of my own gratification. If I was president, Aircraft Carriers, Stealh Bombers and M1A2 tanks would do nicely. :)

In this order:
-Friends (loyal ones)
-Art (subclasses: Heavy Metal -heard or played live- plus all the masterpieces of all kind of art in history)
-Homeplace

Girls, of course, may be considered part of each of the above, even all at once :rolleyes:
Best when they belong mostly to the Art section, though! :D :D :D

When I was 18 it was sex, drugs and rock n roll.

Now its women, beer, american football and rock n roll, so I vote to make it four things greater than all else.

3. Waking up next to someone who makes your heart melt.
