GREAT MEN'S and WOMEN'S QUOTES

[azathoth]

"Perhaps it IS a good day to die. I say we ship it." --Klingon Programmer

"Without deviation from the norm, 'progress' is not possible." --Frank Zappa

[npap]

Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind

John F. Kennedy

[pan0p]

Genuine, sound capital accumulates in a country in no other way than by being based upon a general labor prosperity; otherwise only capital owned by kulaks and Jews can come into existence. And thus it shall be if the people will not come to their senses and the intelligentsia will not help them. If the people should fail to come to their senses, they, as a whole, will find themselves in a very short time in the hands of all sorts of Jews, and in such an event no commune is going to save them : there will be merely uniformly equal paupers, mortgaged and enslaved as a whole commune, while, in their stead, Jews and kulaks will be providing the money for the budget. There will emerge petty, depraved and mean little bourgeois, and a countless number of paupers enslaved by them--such will be the picture! Yiddishers will be soaking up the blood of the people and subsisting on their debauch and humiliation; inasmuch, however, as they--these Yiddishers--will provide money for the budget, they will have to be supported. This is a bad, horrible dream and, praised be the Lord, it is merely a fancy! - Fyodor Dostoevsky

Hi,

Here is one -

"He excelled at doing nothing, and called it happiness"

All men by nature desire knowledge.
Aristotle

[npap]

Entire ignorance is not so terrible or extreme an evil, and is far from being the greatest of all; too much cleverness and too much learning, accompanied with ill bringing-up, are far more fatal.
Plato

[sianaa]

Some more quotes : A man can be short and dumpy and getting bald but if he has fire, women will like him.
My theory is that men are no more liberated than women.

[npap]

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963)

[tatsujin79]

'All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.'
Orison Swett Marden

and of course one from the wisest woman i've ever known

'I don't have any friends, I simply can't afford them'
My Sister

[npap]

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

The one in npap's signature is one of the bests I've ever heard.

Thank you for the complement, Amina
In today's world, where people are only concerned about wealth and profit, we need the wisdom of great men or women to keep our sanity.
We should be inspired by their philosophy in order to be more effective in coping with today's challenges.
Economic crises, natural disasters and man-made catastrophes are a sign that mankind is on the wrong track.

This one from "Silent Warrior" in this thread, is my favorite:

Maybe it works... but I doubt this approach is kosher.

This may have been posted before . . . anyway . .

Written on the walls of her hovel in Calcutta :

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

[rich_roast]

Necromancy... not always a bad thing, I guess

In other news I'm sure I've seen that on snopes.

Cool

@rich_roast . .

Yea, your sarcasm rings true, might as well throw it away, as we seem to make the same mistakes over and over anyway, never taking heed of the words of those that came before us . .
