Name says it all. List some of your favorite quotes.

I'll start with one of my favorite philosophers, Mr. Nietzsche:

"Courageous, untroubled, mocking, violent – that is what wisdom wants us to be. Wisdom is a woman, and loves only a warrior."

“You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.”

"Every growth is indicated by the search for a mighty opponent."

"Love your enemy: He makes you strong."

“One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly.”

“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.”

"The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently."

“Distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful."

... I have a feeling I'll be posting a lot of his...

"Let us teach them a lesson in sorrow" -Dirge, right befor he sheered the glass off a skyscraper by flying past it and rained the shards on the humans below.

and

"Flesh creatures of Earth, this is Megatron! Any questions?" I sums up itself

Know that all men are liars and that it will rain tomorrow.

Not quite what he was talking about.

"In Order for God to be good, Evil is an absolute Necessity." That's now practically Castlevania's Motto. True, as well, and explains the Devil's existence. Or, if you're extremely atheist, why the Church let's Satan exist:

Think about it, most Religions blame bad things that happen on Satan. What if there wasn't Satan, no ultimate evil to take the blame? Then there would be no one left to take blame but the Almighty Himself. God would become corrupt, Christian's would lose faith, and God would cease to be.

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

Belief and Science are like the shoes on your feet - you can travel further with both than just one - Babylon 5.

From Erma Bombeck, and rather fitting for this week:

“Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.”

Crow T. Robot: Wall mounted keyboards, it must be THE FUTURE!

Rochester in The Libertine: "In my experience, those who do not like you fall into two categories: The stupid and the envious. The stupid will like you in five years time. The envious, never."

Read the quote in my sig

"I came, I saw and I was victorious!"

"We came, we saw and we kicked it's but!"

"Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies even closer!"

Fall 7 times, stand up 8.

Oddly enough, that's similar to one I heard in the South Park Movie. Though, I actually have to say, unlike Catholics, Calvinists and such basically say God does evil things, but he's bigger than you, so tough ****. I find that a bit odd myself.

Anyway...

Marcus Aurelius:

"A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions."

"A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by one lower than himself. The one produces aspiration; the other ambition, which is the way in which a vulgar man aspires."

"Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present."

"When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love."

"And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last."

"Anger cannot be dishonest."

"Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man; but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also."

"When a person dies, he disappears...along with his past, current lifestyle, and his future. Many people die in missions and wars. They die easily and in surprisingly simple ways. Those who die have goals and dreams, but everyone has something as important as those. Parents, siblings, friends, lovers...people who are important to you. They trust and help each other. The bond between the people important to you ever since birth. And the sting that binds them becomes thicker and stronger as time goes by. It's beyond reason. Those bound to you by that string will do that...because it's important...
