 Smart People's Quotes Hello Friends, I thought it would be fun to start a thread on quotes, funny, inspirational, and otherwise. I searched the forum to see if there was another thread like it but I found none. Contribute your favorite quotes as they come to you and enjoy. "Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth - more than ruin - more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man." (Bertrand Russell, British philosopher, 1872-1970)      |

| It Takes A Fool To Remain Sane - The Ark (Ola Salo) Whatever happened to the funky race? A generation lost in pace, -Wasn´t life supposed to be more than this? In this kiss I´ll change your bore for my bliss But let go of my hand and it will slip out in the sand if you don´t give me the chance to break down the walls of attitude, I ask nothing of you not even your gratitude And if you think I´m corny then it will not make me sorry it´s your right to laugh at me and in turn, that´s my oppurtunity to feel brave Because ridicule is no shame it´s just a way to eclipse hate it´s just a way to put my back straight it´s just a way to remain sane Every morning I would see her getting off the bus the picture never drops it´s like a multicoloured snapshot stuck in my brain it kept me sane for a couple of years as it drenched my fears of becoming like the others who become unhappy mothers and fathers of unhappy kids And why is that? ´Cause they´ve forgotten how to play maybe they´re afraid to feel ashamed to seem strange to seem insane to seem gay to gain weight - I tell you this: That it takes a fool to remain sane It takes a fool to remain sane It takes a fool to remain sane In this world all covered up in shame (-Oh, take it to the stage!) So, take it to the stage in a multicoloured jacket take it jackpot, crackpot, strutting like a peacock nailvarnish Arkansas shimmy-shammy featherboah crackpot haircut dye your hair in glowing red and blue, -Do, Do, Do! What you wanna do, Don´t think twice, do what you have to do, Do, Do, Do, let your heart decide what you have to do that´s all there is to find Cause it takes a fool to remain sane, Oh,It takes a fool to remain sane It takes a fool to remain sane In this world all covered up in shame It takes a fool to remain sane, It takes a fool to remain sane It takes a fool to remain sane In this world all covered up in shame This gotta be among the best songs ever, and suits as a quote as well when it sums up almost all of the philosophy of The Ark and Ola Salo that is the best of Sweden of today... Love Leelene

| Heres some classics, but I don't know who said them. Never judge a book by its cover, or is it, First impressions always count. Look before you leap, or is it, Just take the plunge. A change is as good as a holiday, or is it, The grass is always greener on the other side. Slow and carefull wins the race, or is it, He who dares wins. So I just make up my own.  I'm awesome, a part of and filled with the most deluxe, awesome, unlimited thing going. Black holes, blue holes, space, strings, quantums, galaxies... you name it, I can do it! |

| You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet. - Franz Kafka |

| Hello Friends, Hope all is well. Here's a nice passage reminding us to draw strength from within. Enjoy. Everything we need is all inside Grass grows No one tells it How to grow to. River gently winds Downstream. No one tells it How to flow to. Seeds fall from the tree. Embedded into the earth. Flourishes into new life Again and again. No one reminds that it's Time to plant. The ocean waves Ebbs to and fro In natural rhythm With the moon. A curious and peaceful dance. No directions included. Sun rises in the east. It sets in the west. Stars light up the evening sky. No one tells them How to glow. No one asks them why. The earth spins Effortlessly On its axis Rocking gently Through the day And into the night In perfect rotation. No batteries included. The body gives life. The body ends life. Naturally. And knows to make love Sometimes in the back Of an old Chevy. Children play. No one tells them It's how they learn. They simply know How to. Mama Kitty cares for Her young And Mama Bird Tends to her nest. No manual. Intelligence in every cell. The universe perfect In every way. Whole. Pure. Divine wisdom And perfect Miracle. All knowing without trying. No struggles. Effortlessly like God herself. Creating. Trusting the perfection inside. All knowledge. All knowing. All inside. One tiny cell. One tiny perfect cell. It's all inside. All things. All times. All of all. It's all inside. --- Copyright © 2007 Shelley Joy Tellez |

| For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you. -Yoda (Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back) |

| Rofl emilee! I love it. I might change it to "Normal is that place somewhere between right and wrong." One of my favorite quotes is "If you try and succeed you have succeeded. If you try and fail you have learnt something. The only way to truely fail is to do nothing at all." I forget who said it. |

| "Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. Its an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. Its a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. IMPOSSIBLE is NOTHING!!!" From my Muhammed Ali poster on my wall. |

| This rare quote is so powerful I used to book-end my first online product, Self Help Meeting... "Any year which passes in which you don't destroy one of your best-loved ideas is probably wasted. It's a very useful thing to do." Charlie Munger, Billionaire & Vice-Chairman, Berkshire Hathaway Corporation (Warren Buffett is the Chairman) Last edited by DrMartinRussell : 10-17-2007 at 01:18 AM.

| Max Powers - You rip off one of my favorite lines of the Matrix! Re: Yoda quote. Can an alien be considered a person?  One quote I really like: "When you give up in freedom for security, you lose both". - Benjamin Franklin said it, and Ron Paul quoted him during a debate. |
