WOW! :o I loved all of those!

My friend lives by a quote each day, so this'll be very enlightening for him.

MOAR!

Lol. I have tons I randomly came across, but everyday I go to http://www.quotationspage.com/ and look at their Motivational Quotes of the Day (Generally they give you 4) and their Quotes of the Day (Generally they give you 4 as well). If you want more quotes, here ...

This is probably my favourite, my best friend said it to me ... I assume she came up with it because I've tried so hard to find an author and have yet to come up with anything ...

Life is not about waiting out the storm, it's about learning to dance in the rain.Lindsay Quote 49

I also like this one, which despite my efforts leaves me with no author so I assume until factual information contradicts my assumption that its from her:

sometimes the dreams that come true are the ones you never knew you had.Lindsay Quote 50

And then of course, I have other people who I don't know:

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.Steve Jobs Quote 51

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.Marianne Williamson Quote 52

Forget about sty.le worry about results.Bobby Orr Quote 53

It is well that war is so terrible - otherwise we would grow too fond of it.Robert E Lee Quote 54

To get something done, a committee should consist of no more than three men, two of whom are absent.Robert Copeland Quote 55

Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much.

If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character...Would you slow down? Or speed up?

Use what talent you possess - the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best.

It could, but it could be argued that a dirty job is still getting the job done. Machiavelli, I believe said - "The end justifies the means."

In theory yes, but in reality if everyone does something such as having style - than it destroys the uniqueness making the polar opposite more unique.

I don't need a couple of words to tell me if someone is greatfull or not, and if I do then the gratitude can't be too strong, nor can what I did.

This is of course only relevent to people I know well.

The opposite makes sense for me. Some things are understood, and showing it achieves nothing, and feels incredibly false. But this is a distinctly un-western philosophy.

I guessed that you didn't believe it as you didn't post it as a quote. ;)

Foolz3h will always agree with this quote. Disregarding the fact that it is entirely about itself, even going so far as to comment on its own lack of subjectivity, and the random use of the word "porn", this quote will make Foolz3h wipe his face with the back of his hand and say, "Why did I just do that?"

CERN physicist Alvaro De Rújula in the BBC LHC documentary, 'The Six Billion Dollar Experiment', incredibly admits quote, "Will we find the Higgs particle at the LHC? That, of course, is the question. And the answer is, science is what we do when we don't know what we're doing." And CERN spokesmodel Brian Cox follows with this stunning quote, "the LHC is certainly, by far, the biggest jump into the unknown." See http://www.SaneScience.org

Read this on -Katsuri-'s blog, and I totally loved it.

I think it would be a good idea to include not only famous quotes and meaningful stuff, but quotes in general, such as those pertaining to forum posts.

Here's one I picked up from the Mugenguild forum:

[QUOTE="Foolz3h"]

Incredibly pointless but quite fun.

Aberinkulas

Actually I find this statement quite offensive, and you lack the logic to really fully explain yourself.

For f***s sake, people many of you are amongst the most intelligent human beings in the world, you need to be out there breeding instead of developing a goddamn zippo lighter simulator for your iPhone. Some Slashdot fellow

    Dolores Aguilar, born in 1929 in New Mexico, left us on August 7, 2008. She will be met in the afterlife by her husband, Raymond, her son, Paul Jr., and daughter, Ruby.

    She is survived by her daughters Marietta, Mitzi, Stella, Beatrice, Virginia and Ramona, and son Billy; grandchildren, Donnelle, Joe, Mitzie, Maria, Mario, Marty, Tynette, Tania, Leta, Alexandria, Tommy, Billy, Mathew, Raymond, Kenny, Javier, Lisa, Ashlie and Michael; great-grandchildren, Brendan, Joseph, Karissa, Jacob, Delaney, Shawn, Cienna, Bailey, Christian, Andre Jr., Andrea, Keith, Saeed, Nujaymah, Salma, Merissa, Emily, Jayci, Isabella, Samantha and Emily. I apologize if I missed anyone.

    Dolores had no hobbies, made no contribution to society and rarely shared a kind word or deed in her life. I speak for the majority of her family when I say her presence will not be missed by many, very few tears will be shed and there will be no lamenting over her passing.

    Her family will remember Dolores and amongst ourselves we will remember her in our own way, which were mostly sad and troubling times throughout the years. We may have some fond memories of her and perhaps we will think of those times too. But I truly believe at the end of the day ALL of us will really only miss what we never had, a good and kind mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. I hope she is finally at peace with herself. As for the rest of us left behind, I hope this is the beginning of a time of healing and learning to be a family again.

    There will be no service, no prayers and no closure for the family she spent a lifetime tearing apart. We cannot come together in the end to see to it that her grandchildren and great-grandchildren can say their goodbyes. So I say here for all of us, GOOD BYE, MOM.

Quote 65 was

- Times-Herald Napa/Sonoma paper

Is like prose, innit?

Here are some of my favorite quotes:

"So the price for freedom is slavery?" - Jeremy, Zits

"I was elected to lead, not to read!" - Arnold Scwartzeneger, the Simpsons movie

"Moreover, I advise that Carthage must be destroyed." - Marcus Porcius Cato

"Life's a **** then you die." - Veronica Mars

"You have no idea why people are mad at you about Kathrina, do you? You're like a guy whose wife come home and catches you banging her sister, and you think she's mad at you for not telling her you were coming home early." - John Stewart on president Bush.

Replace Veronica Mars with Nas immediately. :|

Then again he might not have come up with it originally either.

"Life's a ****and then you die; that's why we get high
Cause you never know when you're gonna go"

And I think it's AZ on the hook, but Nas probably wrote it, though I'm not sure. 

I'm a PC. I've always been a PC at heart.

Not like the rest, the others. Everyone around me. I was at odds with my society and knew it early since birth. Unlike them, I did not "Think Different!"--the mantra of the Macs around me, the phrase on all the billboards in the city that served as a reminder to its citizenry. Sameness pervaded the essence of my being and no amount of self-conditioning I did could change that. Eventually, I gave up and isolated myself emotionally from society.

I gaze at the faces going by, the white earphones contrasting their black turtlenecks, connecting their ears to their pockets, their blank faces engrossed in hip Indie rock music and various garage bands. I envied them for their perfection against my flaws and my compulsive nature to expand, to burden my life with troubles instead of remaining, like them, simple and easy to deal with. The grandest of virtues, simplicity... the philosophy by our loyal benefactor Steve Jobs, who descended from the heavens, creating the Earth, the iron, the wind and the rain. Steve Jobs, who defined the parameters of existence, the one who set about the patterns of reality, the constants, the variables. He who made gravity, electromagnetic energy, and shaped atomic structures and brought forth motion. From these things, he crafted the elements, processed them, refined them, and from these things engineered Apple products through the purity of his mind. Each Apple product was individually crafted by his own hands with the programming code used to run each device having being compiled in his brain and uploaded to each device telepathically, breathing life and perfection into each and every unit.

Except, it seems, for me, for I was not among the many. I was a PC. They were Macs. I've always been a cold, stiff person. I got by, disguising myself by keeping my non-Ipod music player safely out of sight, which I use because of my depraved nature demanding more functionality than the simple and easy-to-use Ipods have to offer... In the safety of my own home, behind locked doors, I ran a Forbidden, a contraband computer from more depraved, earlier days that was not given the love and blessing of being birthed by Steve Jobs. I dual booted, out of the great sin of curiosity. Curiosity, a shameful value of a PC, as curiosity has no place where simplicity matters most. I used two of the great unutterable blasphemies--something called "Windows Vista" and something else called "Linux." Although, as I mentioned before, although my tendency to be a PC and towards conformity has always been inherent to me, I was truly transformed when I found these old things in a hidden cache of computer parts predating The Purging. Perhaps the greatest sin of all, the single evil that, if discovered, would damn me forever, was the fact that my mouse had more than one button.

As I walked on among the Macs on the streets, passing the Starbuckses as I went along, I wondered how it all came to this. I glanced at The Holy Marks on the foreheads as the people wandered down the streets, the Bitten Apple tattooed on all our of us at birth, and wondered if, perhaps, there could be something more to life. But again, this was a PC's thought, and not, like everyone elses', a Mac's. We were to hold ourselves to the philosophy of Steve Jobs--so as his products were designed for idiots, so too were we to be idiots. But I was not a Mac--I was not an idiot. I was simply too complicated to be a worthwhile person.

Nature called. I found a nearby public iPoo--squeaky clean and sparkly white, things weren't all bad--and let myself go, expelling the waste that had accumulated inside me. After relieving myself and committing the overly-complicated and thus illegal act of wiping my ass (I did not flush as iPoos, designed to be idiot-proof, did not flush) I left and once again wandered the streets aimlessly, hoping to find some meaning in a world where I simply did not belong, a world where if my true nature was discovered, I would be endlessly persecuted by smug, self-righteous sons of b****es.

Slashdot poster

The only way this would be any better would be if they had expanded it and added "I loved Steve Jobs." onto the end.
