Jack Bauer’s character is described as being a “flawed hero” in that the same “tragic flaw” that dictates his rise to power also causes his tragic downfall. In the series, Jack Bauer’s involvement in the counter-terrorist unit has given him adequate training to survive many of the disasters he has faced, and even save the world in the process. But this has also caused much misfortune, especially in the tragic deaths of family members and friends, which can be directly attributed to his being involved in CTU.

Jack Bauer is also characterized by considering the ends more important than the means. Therefore, he will accomplish his mission no matter what the cost. He is known to have killed or caused the deaths of individuals if these meant protecting the lives of the many. Indeed, people closest to him have died as a consequence of Jack’s actions, including his wife (in season 1).

As a running joke, Jack Bauer has usually been put head-to-head with Chuck Norris, as the two are seen as unstoppable forces, and will probably result to the world ending in a violent way if they fought each other.

“Rules don’t apply to Jack Bauer. He does what he wants, when he wants, and he doesn’t care whose life it affects.”

I’ve decided to continue our “Top Jacks” feature. If you have ideas for other Jacks to write about, do email us through the contact page.

Although for many years I worked out at four in the morning and then later I started at five. Now my workout begins around 5:30 or 6:00 am. But I never think of age.

By exercise. I’ll tell you one thing, you don’t always have to be on the go. I sit around a lot, I read a lot, and I do watch television. But I also work out for two hours every day of my life, even when I’m on the road.

Can God go to the gym to work out for you? God helps those that help themselves. You have to do it! God or some omnipotent power or whatever you want to believe in gives you the energy, the will to do it, but you have to do it yourself.

Do it vigorously, like somebody is chasing you. You’ve got to do it hard. Otherwise, if you just take it easy and do it longer, you are spending all that time when you don’t need it. Use that extra time with your weights instead.

Do you know how many calories are in butter and cheese and ice cream? Would you get your dog up in the morning for a cup of coffee and a donut?

Do you think that man could ever make a machine that the only way you could hurt it is don’t use it? Could man make a machine that in every 90 days practically every cell changes? Think about this.

Eight counts to bring it up and eight counts to let it down. That is very hard, I’ll tell you! Then I’d do everything for a while real fast. You aren’t used to any of this so the body responds. Pretty soon the hips and knees start to go, doing the same thing day after day.

Focus on your problem zones, your strength, your energy, your flexibility and all the rest. Maybe your chest is flabby or your hips or waist need toning. Also, you should change your program every thirty days. That’s the key.

For the person that is really progressing and they read up a lot and they have a lot of energy and discipline, they don’t need a trainer. It depends on the individual. I don’t need a trainer – I am my own trainer.

George Burns was more athletic than you think he was. And he was a very social man – he loved people, he enjoyed life. He worked at living. Old George was a social lion, he got around and did things. That’s the key right there. It starts with your brain.

Getting out of shape is like a thief in the night that sneaks up on you. I always tell people that it is never too late. I tell them about the folks in their 90′s that doubled their strength and endurance.

I am proud to say I was just voted in to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This year I get my star.

“Yes, madam, I am drunk. But in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.”

“To alcohol, the nights that you’ll never remember, with the friends you’ll never forget.”

“If alcohol is a crutch, then Jack Daniels is the wheelchair.”

“Alcoholism is the only disease that you can get yelled at for having.”

“To alcohol! The cause of … and solution to all of life’s problems!”

“I feel sorry for people who don’t drink, because when they wake up in the morning, that’s the best they’re gonna feel all day.”

“Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.”

“Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life.”

“Your not really drunk if you are laying on the floor without holding on.”

Jack and Jill went up the hill

To fetch a pail of water.

Jack fell down and broke his crown,

And Jill came tumbling after.

Up Jack got and down he trot

As fast as he could caper;

And went to bed and covered his head

In vinegar and brown paper.

Then up Jack got and home did trot

As fast as he could caper;

To Old Dame Dob who patched his nob

With vinegar and brown paper.

When Jill came in how she did grin

To see Jack’s paper plaster;

Mother vexed, did whip her next,

For causing Jack’s disaster.

Now Jack did laugh and Jill did cry

But her tears did soon abate;

Then Jill did say that they should play

At see-saw across the gate.

“I played, like, a year of piano until I learned the Pink Panther theme. That was my goal. Once I was good enough, I quit. Now my music has to have some rock.”“I’d rather be the king of kids, than the prince of fools.“

“If Beethoven and Bach hooked up with Mozart and made a band, they could be a distant runner up to The D.“

“The moment you start analyzing your own rock is the moment your rock is dead. That’s why rock is now pretty much dead. Too much analyzation. No rockalyzation!“

“The movie Spinal Tap rocked my world. It’s for rock what The Sound of Music was for hills. They really nailed how dumb rock can be.”

“There’s nothing you can really do to prepare to rock. Do you prepare to eat a delicious meal? Are you hungry? Then you’re gonna eat it.”

“You must never underestimate the power of the eyebrow.“

“You’re asking me to choose between two children, the one that pays more and the one that I secretly love more. With the acting, it’s somebody else’s brainchild, and I’m just sort of helping flesh it out; with the music, there’s a special satisfaction to being the brains behind the operation.”
