They can be about anything, so long as it's not rule breaking. I'll start with two, "Everything we call real is made up of things that cannot be regarded as real" - Niels Bohr "The brain is only a receiver. In the universe, there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know it exists" - Nikola Tesla So, my fellows, what are some quotes that move you?
This one is a short poem, but it makes a fine quote that I enjoy, "O strong of heart, go where the road, Of ancient honour climbs. Bow not your craven shoulders, Earth conquered gives the stars" - Boethius
"Cops ain't the enemy, they ain't the law. Find the sons of the devil pushing papers into law, there's ya enemy right there." - Wise old man on the train. "Nature does not hurry, yet all is accomplished" - Lao Tzu "Raise your words, not your voice. It is the rain which grows flowers, not thunder." - Rumi
"I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast, for I intend to go in harm's way."- John Paul Jones
“Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live." And unselfishness is letting other people's lives alone, not interfering with them. Selfishness always aims at creating around it an absolute uniformity of type. Unselfishness recognizes infinite variety of type as a delightful thing, accepts it, acquiesces in it, enjoys it. It is not selfish to think for oneself. A man who does not think for himself does not think at all. It is grossly selfish to require of one's neighbor that he should think in the same way, and hold the same opinions. Why should he? If he can think, he will probably think differently. If he cannot think, it is monstrous to require thought of any kind from him. A red rose is not selfish because it wants to be a red rose. It would be horribly selfish if it wanted all the other flowers in the garden to be both red and roses.” ― Oscar Wilde
Tell us more. "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge."- Daniel J. Boorstin "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong."-H.L. Mencken "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies."-C.S. Lewis "We are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of Nature has placed in our power... the battle, sir, is not to the strong alone it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave."-Patrick Henry "The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why."-Mark Twain "More of your conversation would infect my brain."- William Shakespeare
Ahem... "One lawyer with a briefcase can steal more than a hundred men with guns." - Mario Puzo "Candor and accountability in a democracy is very important. Hypocrisy has no place." The Esteemed Alan Dershowitz "Teacher said I should do something that requires a big mouth and no brain... So I become a lawyer." The right honorable venerated all-around good dude esteemed Alan Dershowitz
