And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong, to measure yourself at least once, to find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions, facing blind, deaf stone alone, with nothing to help you but your own hands and your own head..."

"There is pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes,
By the deep sea and the music in its roar;
I love not man the less, but Nature more."

"The dearest friend on Earth is a mere shadow compared to Jesus Christ" - Oswald Chambers


"Its not enough to just capture an image, you have to capture it in a way no ones ever seen before"
-National Geographic

"We must take sides, Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere."

"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing."

"Before the beginning, after the great war between Heaven and Hell, God created the Earth and gave dominion over it to the crafty ape he called man. And to each generation was born a creature of light and a creature of darkness. And great armies clashed by night in the ancient war between good and evil. There was magic then, nobility, and unimaginable cruelty. And so it was until the day that a false sun exploded over Trinity, and man forever traded away wonder for reason."

Is that from MiB, or did said movie rip that off from someone else? There are a few from that movie worthy.

I like this one:
"Edgar/Bug: Y'know, I've noticed an infestation here. Everywhere I look, in fact. Nothing but undeveloped, unevolved, barely conscious pond scum, totally convinced of their own superiority as they scurry about their short, pointless lives.
Zap-Em Man: Well, yeah. Uh... don't you want to get rid of 'em?
Edgar/Bug: Ah... in the worst way. "

"The real 'clash of civilizations' is not between 'Islam' and 'the West,' but instead within virtually all modern nations between people who are prepared to live on terms of equal respect with others who are different, and those who seek the protection of homogeneity and the domination of a single 'pure' religious and ethnic tradition."

'I know not how I seem to others, but to myself I am but a small child wandering upon the vast shores of knowledge, every now and then finding a small bright pebble to content myself with while the vast ocean of undiscovered truth lay before me. - Isaac Newton

Consider all this; and then turn to this green, gentle, and most docile earth; consider them both, the sea and the land; and do you not find a strange analogy to something in yourself? For as this appalling ocean surrounds the verdant land, so in the soul of man there lies one insular Tahiti, full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the horrors of the half known life. Go keep thee! Push not off from that isle, thou canst never return. - Moby Dick

# Contentment is the capital which will never diminish.

Only He who has the power to punish can pardon.

Live amongst people in such a manner that if you die they weep over you and if you are alive they crave for your company.

Value of each man depends upon the art and skill which he has attained.

Poverty is the worst form of death.


I have never won a debate with an ignorant person.

There is no wealth like knowledge, no poverty like ignorance.

A man's measure is his will.

People's hearts are like wild animals. They attach their selves to those that love and train them.
