that which does not kill us makes us stronger, unless it bites your legs off then it just makes you shorter.

My three favorites

"When shall we expect the approach of danger? Shall some transatlantic giant step the earth and crush us at a blow? Never. All the armies of Europe and Asia could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we will live forever, or die by suicide."

Abraham Lincoln




"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."



--Gaius Julius Caesar


"What threatens us today is fear. Not the atom bomb, nor even fear of it because if the bomb fell on Oxford tonight, all it could do would be to kill us which is nothing, since in doing that it will have robbed itself of its only power over us. Our danger is the forces in the world today which are trying to use man's fear to rob him of his individuality, his soul, trying to reduce him to an unthinking mass of fear and bribery. "



--William Faulkner, commencement speech at his daughter's high-school graduation, 1951

" Im not scared of dying - I just dont want to be there when it happens "

Do you worry about the fifth lock on the back door, when the front door is open?
-Orson Scott Card

In reality there is perhaps no one of our natural Passions so hard to subdue as Pride. Disguise it, struggle with it, beat it down, stifle with it, mortify it as much as one pleases, it is still alive, and will every now and then peep out and show itself...For even if I could conceive that I had compleatly overcome it, I should probably be proud of my Humility.
-Benjamin Franklin

"WELL-BEING for all is not a dream. It is possible, realizable, owing to all that our ancestors have done to increase our powers of production."--Peter Kropotkin

"What constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and independence? It is not our frowning battlements, our bristling sea coasts, our army and our navy. . .Our reliance is in the love of liberty which God has planted in us. Our reliance is in the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men in all nations everywhere. Destroy that spirit, and you plant the seeds of despotism at your own door.

Accustomed to trample on the rights of others, you have lost the genius of your own independence and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises among you."

Some of my favorites from Les Mis by Victor Hugo

"The tribute to Caesar is never more than a remenant to the tribute to God. A Prince is nothing in the presence of a principle."

"Leaning back is a way of lying down standing not disliked by dreamers."

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
-- Teddy Roosevelt

"Es mejor morir de pie que vivir de rodillas." [Trans: "It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees."]
-- Emiliano Zapata

"It's not a matter of whether the war is not real, or if it is, Victory is not possible. The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia but to keep the very structure of society intact."
-- Michael Moore paraphrasing George Orwell's 1984.

"Alright you primitive screw-heads, listen up. See this? This is my boomstick! It's a 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan; retails for about one hundred nine, ninety-five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right, shop smart, shop S-Mart!"

I think one of my favorites has got to be "Jesus saves! The rest of you take damage."

"Which did you like better? 'Jedi' or 'The Empire Strikes Back?'"

"'Empire.'"

"Blasphemy."

"'Empire' had the better ending. Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader is his father, uh, Han gets frozen, taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings. All 'Jedi' had was a bunch of Muppets."

Empire is part of a trilogy completely planned, it doesn't count

YES AWESOME and another good one "Good guy, bad guy, I'm the guy with the gun" RAT-A-TAT-TAT :sniper: :mp5: :gundge:

First off, Bertrand Russel rules.

Hope is the first step on the road to dissapointment.

Hope is the beginning of unhappiness.

The ends always justify the means.

In an hour of darkness a blind man is the best guide. In an age of insanity look to the madman to show the way.

There can be no bystanders in the battle for survival. Anyone who will not fight by your side is an enemy you must crush.

It is not the horror of war that troubles me but the unseen horrors of peace.

A dagger in the dark is worth a thousand swords at dawn.

Victory needs no explanation, defeat allows none.

Identify your target. Concentrate your fire on it to the exclusion of all else. When it is destroyed choose another target. That is the way to secure victory.

Through the destruction of our enemies we earn our salvation.

What is the terror of death.
That we die our work incomplete.
What is the joy of life.
To die knowing our task is done.

Pain is an illusion of the senses, despair is an illusion of the mind.

By the manner of their death shall we know them.

Strike fast and suddenly. Attack without warning. Secure victory before the foe is aware of his danger. Remember always, a war is easily won if your enemy does not know he is fighting.

This is a horrible paraphrase, but here goes: "The strongest argument against Democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter. Democracy is the worst of all governments, excluding all the rest." -Winston Churchill

"Those who would give up essential liberty for a little temporary safety deserve neither." -Ben Franklin

I don't know who said this, but this is great:
"When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. But when I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist."

"That which is imposing here on earth has always something of the quality of the fallen angel who is beautiful but without peace, great in his conceptions and exertions but without success, proud and lonely."

Bismarck, personal letter to his future wife

"I stand or fall with my own Sovereign, even if in my opinion he ruins himself stupidly, but for me France will remain France, whether it is governed by Napoleon or by St. Louis and Austria is for me a foreign country.... I know that you will reply that fact and right cannot be separated, that a properly conceived Prussian policy requires chastity in foreign affairs even from the point of utility. I am prepared to discuss the point of utility with you; but if you pose antinomies between right and revolution; Christianity and infidelity; God and the devil; I can argue no longer and merely say,
"I am not of your opinion and you judge in me what is not yours to judge""

Bismarck to his mentor during a disagreement

"Therefore a wise prince will seek means by which they will always, and in every possible situation, have need of his governance. And they will always be faithful to him"

Macchiavelli "The Prince"

"If you can imagine a better way of life than office-holding for your future rulers, than a truly well-ordered society becomes a possibility. For only then will those rule who are rich not in gold, but in the wealth that makes human happiness, a good and wise life."

Plato "The Republic"

"The children of darnkess are evil because they know no law beyond the self. They are wise, though evil, because they understand the power of self-interest. The children of light are virtuous because they have some conception of a higher law than their own will. They are usually foolish because they do not know the power of self-will. They underestimate the peril of anarchy in both the national and international community.

Clearly it has become necessary for the children of light to borrow some of the wisdom of the children of darnkess; and yet be careful not to borrow too much."

Reinhold Niebuhr The Children of Light and The Children of Darkness, 1944

"I felt like anything rather than rejoicing at the downfall of a foe who had fought so long and valiantly, and had suffered so much for a cause thought that was, I believe, one of the worst for which a people ever fought, and one for which there was the least excuse."

said by General Ulysses S. Grant about Lee's surrender at Appomattox


Apologies if I messed up any of these quotes, I was doing some of them from memory.

**gets all metal**

"My love for you is like a truck berserker!
Would you like some making fuck berserker!"

"Did he just say "making fuck?"

Excellent movie :p


And now...from one of the best movies of all time (without doing the really overused one, OR the philisophical thinking ones. That's right, just the funny ones here folks :D)

Donnie : First of all, Papa Smurf didn't create Smurfette. Gargamel did. She was sent in as Gargamel's evil spy with the intention of destroying the Smurf village, but the overwhelming goodness of the Smurf way of life transformed her. And as for the whole gang-bang scenario, it just couldn't happen. Smurfs are asexual. They don't even have reproductive organs under those little white pants. That's what's so illogical, you know, about being a Smurf. What's the point of living if you don't have a dick?

Farmer : I'll tell you what he said. He asked me to forcibly insert the Life Line exercise card into my anus!

Donnie : You are such a fuckass.
Elizabeth : Did you just call me a fuckass? You can go suck a fuck.
Donnie : Oh, please, tell me Elizabeth, how exactly does one suck a fuck?
Samantha : What's a fuckass?
