    I discovered it very late in life. Maybe ten years ago or so and I was floored.

      "The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

      To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.

      To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."

            "Oh I feel it. I feel the cosmos!"

            I don't know why that quote in particular is one I quote but its still funny to me.

                  wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?

                  and to a lesser extent, 'snarf snarf'

                    Most of my references are from a sketch comedy troupe but my favorite of theirs is

                    "Whose a good baby? Presumably you are!" said to a baby. With a silly intonation. I like saying it with the weird intonation to cats. I don't have a human baby, prop or not!

                      Yeah I loved eternity, but the bugs keep piling up to the point of annoyance. Very happy with Thunder these days. And Voyager is great too. Both open source and very actively developed.

                        The first one was an actual advertising campaign for Dr Pepper, but considering your other one is from Thundercats, I'm guessing I should read the first one in Johnny 5's voice.

                            Are they saying presumably because we don't know if they're gonna grow up to be the next Dictator or something?

                              In context, they don't know where the baby came from, it just appeared in the mess that is the props room. So he was being an oblivious not having baby guy.

                              In reality it was the guy who was holding its baby. He knows it's cute, it's his baby lol.

                                  I don't think it's that obscure to people of a certain age, but every time someone orders a salad, my immediate reaction is "You don't win friends with that!"

                                      So I remembered Adam Savage mentioning that he got the phrase from a friend, so I went hunting for the video.
                                      Anyone heard of a film called Dungeon Masters?:
