What is your favorite quote?

[Q]

Mine, dunno why:

Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope.

-Unknown author

I like it because it is so true. No matter how much you think something isn't going to happen or be, there is always a little bit of hope in you to keep on keepin' on.

What are other good ones you like?

TR should get credit for popularizing that one, but it's an old African proverb of unknown origin.

Take all you can, give nothing back. - Heard it somewhere

Max Stirner - below

He who must expend his life to prolong life cannot enjoy it, and he who is still seeking for his life does not have it and can as little enjoy it.

Might is a fine thing, and useful for many purposes; for "one goes further with a handful of might than with a bagful of right"

Whoever will be free must make himself free. Freedom is no fairy gift to fall into a man's lap. What is freedom? To have the will to be responsible for one's self.

There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.

Any fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction.
