    Tranquility of the soul is the desire of nothing.
    - Secret Of Mana

    By morality, the individual is taught to become a function of the herd, and to ascribe to himself value only as a function.
    -Friedrich Nietzsche

    You must never fight with your opponent too often, or you will teach him all you art.
    -Napolean

    -snip-

    Such as are our habitual thoughts, such also will be the character of our mind; For the soul is dyed by the thoughts.
    - Marcus Aurelius

    Like most existentialists, he wasn't very social.
    -Unknown

    A man never discloses his own character more clearly than when he describes another's.

    Man is the one creature on earth that is born knowing he will die, and that is an appalling intellectual burden.
    -Piers Anthony

    In seeking light we are all blinded by it. It is what is beyond the light that should concern us: For the light shines out of a darkness which cradles us continuously. One must descend into the darkness to see beyond the light.
    -The Qabala Of 50 Gates
    "What man would go into the dark without a light?"
    "That's a silly question. What man would go into the dark?"

    ''When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.'' -John Lennon

    ''Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.'' -Unknow

    ''Ya lily-livered, bow legged idjit!'' Y. Sam

    See also my sig, that's an Oscar Wilde quote.

    Nietzsche was a jerk, utterly selfish and with no compassion for others. Personally I think he was a sociopath...

    Piers Anthony thinks we are born with the knowledge that we will die? I think that would be a remarkable feat of intellect for a newborn baby.

    Saw some quote in my own language many years ago, but original sounds like;
    "The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up"

    Normally I'm not much into this kinda stuff, but it's the only quote I ever remembered and which impressed me.
    This is a test

    My favourite quote of all time is probably this one:


    "When it's dark enough you can see the stars." - Persian proverb

    It can be interpreted in many ways.
    When you're going through the worst, that's when your true friends will shine.
    When you're going through the worst, that's when you'll realize how valuable the things you have are (can be anything from friends to family to current life status).
    When you're going through the worst, that's when you appreciate things that you otherwise wouldn't.

    Great idea for a thread! Although as a reminder guys please keep religious, political, such type things out of the discussion.

    “Everything in moderation, including moderation.” -Oscar Wilde

    "If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again." -Unknown

    "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent"- Eleanor Roosevelt

    "Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?" -George Carlin

    "Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." - Apple Inc

    "The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing" -Socrates

    "Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up" -C.S. Lewis

    He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life. -Mohammed Ali

    One of my absolute favorites is this one:

    “If nature has made you for a giver, your hands are born open, and so is your heart; and though there may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and you can give things out of that--warm things, kind things, sweet things--help and comfort and laughter--and sometimes merry, kind laughter is the best help of all.”

    From Frances Hodgson Burnett.

    “It may help to understand human affairs to be clear that most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused, not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad, but by people being fundamentally people.” -Neil Gaiman, Good Omens

    "I don't have time for a grudge match with every poser in a parka"!- Dr. Horrible

    “It is not much better to fall honourably in defence of liberty, than be again exposed to the outrages of Romans? Such, at least, is my resolution; as for you men, you may, if you please, live and be slaves!”- Queen Boadicea

    "Otherwise, my advice is: stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless logic and experience prove you wrong; remember, when the emperor looks naked, the emperor is naked; the truth and a lie are not “sort of the same thing”; and there is no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can’t be improved with pizza. Thank you.”- Daria

    "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things -- not because they are easy, but because they are hard. Because that challenge is one that we're willing to accept, one that we're unwilling to post-pone and one we intend to win." - John Fitzgerald Kennedy

    So if I don't go to that site, they will not feed someone who they otherwise would have? -- Jeffrey L. Bell

    Yep.

    And they'll show them a picture of your face, any web presences you might have, and how you spend your leisure time. They'll give the starving person your name and address and a bus ticket (and/or plane ticket) and a map and send them off. One day, you'll be kicking back at home, playing Nintendo and gorging yourself of sticky handfuls of Fiddle-Faddle, when the doorbell will ring. You'll answer it and find, standing on your doorstep, a tiny waiflike third-world child, all big eyes and protruding ribs, who will sniffle, shed a single tear, say, "Why?" and expire in front of you.

    So that's why you ought to go click.

    In the spirit of the Arnold Schwarzenegger video, some of my favorite movie insults, that also don't conflict with forum rules lol. So unfortunately, it'd be hard to include Full Metal Jacket, haha.

    "You are a worthless street rat. You were born a street rat. You will die a street rat, and only your fleas will mourn you!" -Aladdin

    "Mr. Madison, what you have just said, is the most insanely idiotic thing I have ever heard. At no point, in your rambling incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul."-Billy Madison

    "Sit your five dollar *** down, before I make change." New Jack City

    "There's a name for you ladies, but it isn't used in high society.....outside of a kennel." The Women

    "They're just pissing on us, without even the courtesy of calling it rain." -Avatar

    "You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means." -Princess Bride

    "You are a sad, strange little man. You have my pity." -Toy Story

    It seems that there are two different sorts of people: People who care about the important stuff--like if a job gets done, and if it gets done well--and clueless ****ing morons who wouldn't know a job well done if it bit them on the ***, and so think that "professionalism" is a better indicator of the quality of work.
