Lewis] Quote:Childbirth, as a strictly physical phenomenon, is comparable to driving a United Parcel truck through an inner tube.[Dave Barry] Quote:I don't know what the new Ford will be called. Probably something like the 'Ford Untamed Wilderness Adventure.' In the TV commercials, it will be shown splashing through rivers, charging up rocky mountainsides, swinging on vines, diving off cliffs, racing through the surf, and fighting giant sharks hundreds of feet beneath the ocean surface -- all the daredevil things that cars do in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, where nobody ever drives on an actual world. In fact, the interstate highways in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, having been abandoned by humans, are teeming with deer, squirrels, birds, and other wildlife species that have fled from the forests to avoid being run over by nature-seekers in multi-ton vehicles barreling through the underbrush at 50 miles per hour.[Dave Barry] Quote:Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:The holy passion of Friendship is of so sweet and steady and loyal and enduring a nature that it will last through a whole lifetime, if not asked to lend money.[Mark Twain] Quote:The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings - words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out.[Stephen King] Quote:Ignore death up to the last moment; then, when it can't be ignored any longer, have yourself squirted full of morphia and shuffle off in a coma. Thoroughly sensible, humane and scientific, eh?[Aldous Huxley] Quote:You can turn painful situations around through laughter. If you can find humor in anything, even poverty, you can survive it.[Bill Cosby] Quote:Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate, and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand.[Colin Powell] Quote:Virtues are acquired through endeavor, Which rests wholly upon yourself. So, to praise others for their virtues can but encourage one's own efforts.[Thomas Paine] Quote:Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.[Thomas Edison] Quote:Chicago sounds rough to the maker of verse. One comfort we have: Cincinnati sounds worse.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:No sooner do we depart from sense and instinct to follow reason but we are insensibly drawn into uncouth paradoxes, difficulties, and inconsistencies, which multiply and grow upon us as we advance in speculation; till at length, having wandered through many intricate mazes, we find ourselves just where we were, or, which is worse, sit down in a forlorn scepticism.[George Berkeley] Quote:Of course the people dont want war...that is understood. But voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.[Hermann Goering] Quote:War can only be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to take up the gun.[Mao Zedong] Quote:Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.[George Eliot] Quote:When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall - think of it, <b[Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:If there is a soul, it is a mistake to believe that it is given tous fully created. It is created here, throughout a whole life.

It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:If you go flying back through time, and you see somebody else flying forward into the future, it's probably best to avoid eye contact.[Jack Handey] Quote:Talk of imminent threat to our national security through the application of external force is pure nonsense. Indeed it is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear.[Douglas MacArthur] Quote:If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents - the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's. But if their thoughts - i.e., of Materialism and Astronomy - are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true?I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents.It's like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk-jug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.[Michael Jordan] Quote:What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?[Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:When you're through changing, you're through.[Bruce Barton] Quote:A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:How people keep correcting us when we are young! There is always some bad habit or other they tell us we ought to get over. Yet most bad habits are tools to help us through life.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Oppression can only survive through silence. [Cato the Elder] Quote:Events in the past may be roughly divided into those which probably never happened and those which do not matter. [William Ralph Inge] Quote:Weird, isn't it? Somehow in the dead of winter when its 40 below, so cold your words just freeze in the air, you think you'll never hear a robin's song again or see a blossom on a cherry tree, when one day you wake up and bingo, light coming through the mini blinds is softened with a tick of rose and the cold morning air has lost its bite. It's spring once again, the streets are paved with mud and the hills are alive with the sound of mosquitos. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:You think a man is a man cause he wears team colors and guzzles beer in front of the tube? Can't you see, boys, the sands of time are dribbling through the hourglass? [Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess] Quote:If you would thoroughly know anything, teach it to others. [Tryon Edwards] Quote:The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.

[Charles Lamb] Quote:If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them. [Isaac Asimov] Quote:Be mild with the mild, shrewd with the crafty, confiding to the honest, rough to the ruffian, and a thunderbolt to the liar. But in all this, never be unmindful of your own dignity. [Marcus Aurelius Antoninus] Quote:I ask you to look both ways. For the road to a knowledge of the stars leads through the atom; and important knowledge of the atom has been reached through the stars. [Sir Arthur Eddington] Quote:People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built. [Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do. [Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:Some people are born on third base and go through life thinking they hit a triple. [Bob Dylan] Quote:I've arrived at this outermost edge of my life by my own actions. Where I am is thoroughly unacceptable. Therefore, I must stop doing what I've been doing. [Aristotle] Quote:Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.
