inspirational quote...???

today i would like to share a quote by Fry from futurama. It's about the Aesop story of the grasshopper and the ants. Yet, with a little alteration, the quote somehow becoming interesting and somehow inspirational every time i read it.

Fry : "Its just like the story of the grasshopper and the ant. All year long the ant kept burying acorns for winter while the grasshopper mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. Then the winter came, and the ant died, and the grasshopper ate all his acorns and also he got a race car. Is any of this getting through to you?"

also a quote from Homer Simpsons regarding respect

“Ah, TV respects me. It laughs with me, not at me!”

last but not least, another quote from Homer regarding askin help from "higher being"..

I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, Please save me Superman
