I did a little scanning and really didn't see a thread like this so here it is...

Do you have a hero who has said something awesome, cool, inspirational or provocative? Do you live by a motto or a creed? Do you have a favorite line from a movie or show? This is the place to put it.

Post things that you think are true, untrue, or funny. Quote people from history, fiction, non fiction, culture, movies, books, Dakka, anywhere and anything as long as it means something to you.

What is this thread's purpose you ask? It is interesting to see what people think reflected through the things other people have said...at least to me...so have fun!

I'll start us off:

"Men should strive to think much and know little"
-Democritus

"I know nothing, except the fact of my ignorance"
-Socrates

"If life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.
Then you find someone who's life gave them vodka, and have a party"
-Ron White

"D'oh!" -Homer Simpson

My sig. Sounds excellent "in the flesh", and makes an outstanding intro for the song "Timelessness" by Fear Factory.

"It was acceptable in the 80's"-Calvin Harris
USe that as an excuse for any action... things get properly surreal...

"I'm not racist, I'm an equal opportunity hater, I hate everyone equally"

I say that to my international friends all the time when we joke about each other...

I say that whenever I make a racist-ish comment unintentionally.

"But the average person doesn't have that much imagination. They just want to be entertained. They want to have the tableau presented for them. They don't want to participate beyond a certain point. They want the safety of the herd, to be catered to, sit back and enjoy"...

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle.

"There are two ways to handle a woman. Unfortunately, no one knows either of them." -Mark Twain

It is far more interesting to fail at being a pioneer the be brutally successful at following the herd.
