[QUOTE="ladyofdragons, post: 380773, member: 5718"] I've got a whole book at home of ones I've collected, but some of my favorites are: [u]richard bach[/u] "Perspective: Use it or lose it. You are forgetting that what is going on around you is not reality. Think about that." "Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours." "The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in awhile, and watch your answers change." "You are never given a wish without being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however." "Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years." [u]lazarus long (Robert Heinlein)[/u] Don't try to have the last word. You might get it. Everybody lies about sex. Sex should be friendly. Otherwise stick to mechanical toys; it's more sanitary. You live and learn. Or you don't live long. Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done and why. Then do it. If you don't like yourself, you can't like other people. No state has the inherent right to survive through conscript troops and in the long run, no state ever has. Roman matrons used to say to their sons: "Come back with your shield, or on it." Later on, this custom declined. So did Rome. A brute kills for pleasure. A fool kills from hate. One man's theology is another man's belly laugh. Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. There is no conclusive evidence of life after death. But there is no evidence of any sort against it. Soon enough you will know. So why fret about it? A zygote is a gamete's way of producing more gametes. The may be the purpose of the universe. Democracy is based on the assumption that a million men are wiser than one man. How's that again? I missed something. Autocracy is based on the assumption that one man is wiser than a million men. Let's play that over again, too. Who decides? Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense. (Hurting yourself is not sinful -- just stupid.) A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. One man's "magic" is another man's engineering. "Supernatural" is a null word. Never try to outstubborn a cat. Yield to temptation; it may not pass your way again. Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get. A committee is a life form with six or more legs and no brain. Certainly the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you; if you don't bet, you can't win. A generation which ignores history has no past -- and no future. You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity. Courage is the complement of fear. A man who is fearless cannot be courageous. (He is also a fool.) [i] and my favorite... [/i] Never underestimate the power of human stupidity. [/QUOTE]
