I like how this is something  that's actually easily achievable for once.

 

Not as easy as the low expectation gem from the movie dodge ball; although, I can't seem to remember how it went exactly...

That's a nice simple, yet meaningful quote, and I like it!

[ShearMe]

If this is the price to be paid for an idea, then let us pay. There is no need of being troubled about it, afraid, or ashamed. This is the time to boldly say, “Yes, I believe in the displacement of this system of injustice by a just one; I believe in the end of starvation, exposure, and the crimes caused by them; I believe in the human soul regnant over all laws which man has made or will make; I believe there is no peace now, and there will never be peace, so long as one rules over another; I believe in the total disintegration and dissolution of the principle and practice of authority; I am an Anarchist, and if for this you condemn me, I stand ready to receive your condemnation.

So this might get me in trouble but I genuinely believe it is true ...

 

"There are four hundred thousand words in the English language, and there are seven you can't say on television. What a ratio that is: 399,993 to 7. They must really be bad; they'd have to be outrageous to be separated from a group that large! "All of you over here, you seven? BAD WORDS." That's what they told us they were, remember? "That's a bad word!" ...No bad words; bad thoughts, bad intentions...and words. You know the seven, don't you, that you cant’t say on television? Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits. Those are the heavy seven. Those are the ones that will infect your soul, curve your spine, and keep the country from winning the war."

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

- Ancient Arabic quote.

I thought that was from Sun Tzu...

 

"If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight! Sun Tzu said that, and I think he knows a little bit more about fighting than you do, pal, because he invented it! And then he perfected it until no living man could best him in the ring of honor. Then he used his fight money to buy two of every animal on earth, herded them onto a boat, and beat the crap out of every single one. And from that day forward, every time a bunch of animals are together in one place they call it a 'zoo'!"

(Not my favorite quote, but just a funny one).

[Jozi]

In a car you're always in a compartment, and because you're used to it you don't realize that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You're a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame.
On a cycle the frame is gone. You're completely in contact with it all. You're in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming.

Yea, it's defiantly a little strong in the language department, but still an interesting one.

This one definitely holds a large amount of truth in such a small sentence.

 

Cheesy, but it's impressively correct.

Definitely a good one, and it really is something that a lot of soldiers, governments, and others should take a step back, and remember.

This is a good quote for a few reasons at least I think, one is that shows people they should respect those who do in fact go out and protect them ( or at least thing they are, but that's a different story ), and 2 it kind of breaks people away from their imaginary fairy tale land in which the world doesn't have terrible things happening in it every day.

I can't say I fully understand this one, but that may be due to the fact that I'm not quite there to understand that one. ( I kind of get that it's like all these terrible things, and of course, another gentlemen, but I think that there is a deeper meaning to it perhaps. )

Life is pain. Anyone who says any different is either selling something or the government.

A rather dark one in a lot of ways, but indeed rather true.

It is. But I like to recognize that there is darkness and then appreciate the light I can see.

People who are quick to anger arent half as dangerous as those who smile, turn the other cheek, forgive and show patience...because everyone has a limit. When someone who has been storing it up, ends up snapping, that is when you will see what fury is.

And the last quote of today:

 

It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.

1: Thanks for the link, since that really did bring the one quote to the light.

2: I definitely like that quote as well, since people really don't forget things.

( You diffidently had a lot of good quotes on here that's for sure )

That is pretty uplifting way to go about one like that, and still actually make use of it.
