| "The goal of an arguement or discussion should not be victory, but progress." Joseph Joubert "Good art is not what it looks like, but what it does to us." Roy Azdak "Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die tomorrow." James Dean "The only tyrant I listen to is the still voice within" Gandhi "It takes less time to do things right than to explain why you did them wrong" Longfellow "Men occasionaly stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened" Churchill "If you want to win anything, a race, youself, your life... you have to go a little beserk" George Sheehan "The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials" Chinese Proverb "In the practice of tolerance, one's own enemy is the best teacher" Dalai Lama "You can never plan the future by the past" Edmund Burke "I usually avoid temptation, unless I can't resist it." Mae West "Capitalism has destroyed our belief in any effective power except but of self interest backed by force" George Bernard Shaw "I am mortified to be told that, in the United States of America, the sale of a book can become a subject of inquiry, and of criminal inquiry too." Thomas Jefferson "Addiction, obesity, starvation are political problems, not psychiatric: each condenses and expresses a contest between the individual and some other person or persons in his environment over the control of the individual's body" Thomas Szasz "We do not know what to do with this life, yet we yearn for another that will be eternal" Antole France "...To emphasize the afterlife is to deny life. To concentrate on Heaven is to create Hell. In their desperate longing to transend the disorderliness, friction, and unpredicability that pesters life, in their desire for a fresh star in a tidy habitat, germand secured by angels, religious multitudes are gambling the only life they may ever have on a dark horse in a race that has no finish line" Tom Robbins "Those who flee temptation usually leave a forwarding address." Lane Olinghouse "My advice to people today is as follows: if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out." Timothy Leary "When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right." Victor Hugo "Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservative" John Stuart Mill "The nail that sticks out must be hammered down." Chinese Proverb "It is with narrow-souled people as with narrow-necked bottles; the less they hold, the more noise they make in pouring it out" Alexander Pope "Revenge... is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion." Jeremy Taylor "It had, like, a semi-Disney bad guy" Joseph Williamson expounding on a recently read book "My manner of thinking, so you say, cannot be approved. Do you think I care? A poor fool indeed is he who adopts a manner of thinking for others! My manner of thinking stems straight from my considered reflections, it holds with my existence, with the way I am made. It is not in my power to alter it; and were it, I'd not do so." Donatien Alphonse Francois de Sade ( the Marquis de Sade) "A good teacher is one who helps you become who you feel yourself to be. A good teacher is also one who says something that you won't understand until 10 years later." Lester, Julius "There is so much good in the worst of us And so much bad in the best of us That it hardly behooves any of us To talk about the rest of us." --Edward Wallis Hoch “Treat the Earth well. It was not given to you by your parents. It was loaned to you by your children.” - Kenyan proverb |
