    Quotes

    If there is thread please merge them.

    Add some great quotes. So let me start:

    ''All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way'' Leo Tolstoy

    ''Religions are different roads converging to the same point. What does it matter that we take different road, so long as we reach the same goal. Wherein is the cause for quarrelling?'' Gandhi - We can have whole debate on this one

    ''Before you begin to search for happiness, check - you may already be happy. Happiness is simple and inconspicuous and many cannot see it.'' Duško Radović

    Uxor formosa et vinum sunt dulcia venena.
    "Beautiful women and wine are sweet venom."
    Quidquid anglicus dictum sit, altum viditur

    Re: Quotes

    "By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest."

    "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."

    "Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves."

    Study the past if you would define the future.

    “When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.”

    “To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order; we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right.”

    “In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of.”

    Confucius..

    I like that quote, I'm stealing it for my signature.
    "Strength is the first virtue. That is not a pleasant fact. Its distastefulness does not alter the truth that without strength to protect them, all other virtues are ephemeral, ultimately meaningless"

    Re: Quotes

    Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.
    Khalil Gibran

    I have gained this from philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law.
    Aristotle

    Because philosophy arises from awe, a philosopher is bound in his way to be a lover of myths and poetic fables. Poets and philosophers are alike in being big with wonder.
    Thomas Aquinas


    And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.
    Friedrich Nietzsche
    "God is the name by which I designate all things which cross my path violently and recklessly, all things which alter my plans and intentions, and change the course of my life, for better or for worse."
    -C G Jung

    Re: Quotes

    Human beings are not perfect. They don’t have total control over all their actions. In the real world, we all make mistakes from time to time and treat others badly because (1) we don’t know any better; (2) we can’t do any better; or (3) we’re too disturbed. That’s just the way we are. Believing that others must do the right thing ignores the real world.

    Re: Quotes

    Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on.
    - Winston Churchill

    Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats!
    - Howard Aiken

    When a thing is new, people say: "It is not true".
    Later, when its truth becomes obvious, they say: "It's not important."
    Finally, when its importance cannot be denied, they say "Anyway, it's not new"
    -William James

    Re: Quotes

    It would be good if somewhere there were all the evil people of the world nefariously doing evil things, and all that were necessary were to separate them from the rest of humanity. But the truth is that the line between good and evil cuts through the heart of every human person; and who is willing to part with a piece of themselves? --Alexander Solshenitsin

    There is no bond that can unite the divided but Love. --Aiwass, the Minister of Hoor-par-kraat

    Let he who dies be truly dead, and think no more of life. --Sogyal Rinpoche

    Ending any sentence with a preposition is exactly the kind of English up with which I will not put! --Winston Churchill

    There is a madness in love. --Jacqueline Carey

    And though she be taken, when she remembers us, we shall know, for the night's many tongues will carry to us her cries from across the sea. --Sappho

    Losing love is like a window in your heart. Everybody sees you're blown apart. Everybody feels the wind blow. --Paul Simon

    The myths you truly believe are the ones you don't know exist. --John Michael Greer

    In love, nothing exists between heart and heart.
    Speech is born out of longing,
    True description from the real taste.
    The one who tastes, knows;
    the one who explains, lies.
    How can you describe the true form of Something
    In whose presence you are blotted out?
    And in whose being you still exist?
    And who lives as a sign for your journey?

    --Rabia
