"If winning isn't everything then why do we keep score"

vince lambiraiti

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name ofcharity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

Ezekiel 25:17 (from Pulp Fiction)

I hope we're just posting quotes in general, not philosophy quotations. :p

"I'd rather die for a cause than to die just because"

-Non-prophets

"Have the books which have been written for these two thousand years taught me anything?"

- Voltaire, III. <i>How am I to think?</i> from "The Ignorant Philosopher"

"They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security." - Benjamin Franklin

lol

"I felt like putting a bullet between in the eyes of every panda that wouldn't screw to save its species. I wanted to open the dump valves on oil tankers and smother all those French beaches I'd never see. I wanted to breathe smoke.

I felt like destroying something beautiful."


"My boss asked if I was doing anything about the hole in my cheek. I told him I put my finger over it when I drank coffee so that it wouldn't leak."


"Our generation has had no Great Depression, no Great War. Our war is spiritual. Our depression is our lives."


"You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else."
All from Fight Club

Along the lines of Fight Club, I'd like to add

You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fuckin' khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.

"Life is short, break a few rules..."


"It is better to regret the things that you have done, then the things that you haven't"
(In other words, just do it, in 20 years, you don't wanna be wonderin "What if")

"A bird in your hand just doesn't feel as good as two in the bush."
-J. Swetnam

"Son, there's only two things you need to fear in life, God and men who do not fear God."
-My dad.... but I think he got it from somewhere else... Churchill perhaps.

"No more and then!"
-Dude where's my car

the only thing open after 3 o'clock is legs and fast food

Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die.

From the Onion:

"I don't know why kids keep smoking after we tell them it's a dangerous thing meant for adults."

Voltaire:

"Tobacco is the pleasure of simple folk, and those who live without tobacco don't deserve to live."

Nietzsche:

"But to stand in the middle of this rerum concordia discors and the whole marvellous uncertainty and ambiguity of existence without questioning, without trembling with the rapture of questioning, ...that is what I feel to be contemptible…"

Actually, this is not in the bible as a whole... It is a compilation of Psalm 23 ( valley of darkness), with proverbs, with Isaiah, Ezekial, and Genesis (story of Cain and Abel).
~Crack

Everything is a matter of perspective

Opinion is subjective, therefore irrelevant.

Intelligence tends to prove its own stupidity after a while.

All my quotes that are shown with my name and one that i heard on an interview the other day

"If people are impressed with you, they get scared of you, for someday you maybe be better. If people make fun of you then you are probably doing something right."

"ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" JFK

(I prayyyyyyyy i got the correct wordings, if not please correct me)

Life is a comedy for those who think, a tragedy for those who feel.

Or in a humorous vein:

Finally, in conclusion, let me say just this.
-Peter Sellers

"There's no exclamation mark goes down in the record books"

Bobby "The Brain" Heenan

"Modern theists might acknowledge that, when it comes to Baal and the Golden Calf, Thor and Wotan, Poseidon and Apollo, Mithras and Ammon Ra, they are actually atheists. We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further."
-Richard Dawkins

"I would like to live forever.....but only for a little while" - Cliff Spabb SFW

"Don't think! Feeeeel. It is like a finger pointing away to the moon. Do not concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory."

My ex-roommate Duke.

Stop wasting your time trying to learn - just remember what you already know.

- Me

if winning isnt everything then why do they keep score

I thought that was FDR?

Phewwww...finally got off my lazy arse and did some searching...the quote was from JFK alright.

heres the link:

http://www.cs.umb.edu/jfklibrary/j012061.htm

it was from his ignauration speech

Mark Twain.

Ain't no such thing as revolution,
It's got another name
It's called evolution,
Go slow!

Shawn Phillips

"I aint gonna lie I aint got a six pack
I got a bad temper and a baseball temper"

Dizzee Rascal

Gosh...really there have been so many great quotes throughout history. If I had to pick a single quote that has the most profound relationship to my life, it would be:

"Chance favors the prepared mind."-- Louis Pasteur

This quote is true on so many levels.

For several great modern quotes on leadership, check out Colin Powell.

Another great one is:

"The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it."
-- Henry Thoreau

And finally...a few others worthy of mention since I found them on my comp.

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
-- Aristotle

"Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate, and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand."
-- Colin Powell

"Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership."
-- Colin Powell

"It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion."
-- Mahatma Gandhi

"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival."
-- C.S. Lewis

"What has 'theology' ever said that is of the smallest use to anybody? When has 'theology' ever said anything that is demonstrably true and is not obvious? ... What makes you think that 'theology' is a subject at all?"
-Richard Dawkins

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science." -Albert Einstein

"There is nothing permanent except change." -Heraclitus

"The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply." -Khalil Gibran

"All that we are arises from our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world." -Gautama Buddha

"...this breath of life which breathes in each one of us is what one basically calls freedom. In biology it's called Life, in affectivity it's called Love, in psychology it's called Consciousness, and in theology it's called God. The difficulty is to bring these all together within everyone's understanding." -Alfred Tomatis M.D.

"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security."
-Albert Einstein

Hmm. I heard a Dan Hedaya standup that parapharased that as:

I have the body of a 16 year old boy and the brain of a German shepherd. They're out in my trunk. Wanna go see?

Those made me laugh out loud at the risk of waking my 18 mo. old. I like this version of the latter:

"Give a man a beer and he'll waste the afternoon. Teach a man to brew and he'll waste the rest of his life." I think Charlie Papazian may have said it, but it could easily have been someone else.

I like that one. Every so often when someone (usually my wife) is picking apart the wrong part of something I just said, I'll say "Ferkristssake, stop looking at the finger and look at the moon!"

Actually, that and the one I have quated before it are both paraphrases of quotes by Medeival Chinese Buddhists who's names I forget.

So much for my commentary. Now my contribution...

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
-- Ben Franklin

"The grandest house in the world burns just as brightly and easily as the most humble cottage."
Paraphrased from—
Digger by Joseph Flynn

The one thing about ghosts that you need to know, no matter what kind of ghosts they are: They have nothing to do with the dead. It’s always themselves that people are afraid of.
-- Sergeant Anderson, NYPD
Cities In Flight, James Blish

"Our analysis tends to agree with yours regarding Coors. It certainly does suck at about any temperature."
-- Toby B. Miller. From a reply from the Miller Brewing company to Bradley Lee, who questioned the wisdom of coloring MGD cans black and backed it up with experimental data.

Mother Nature is a Bitch.
-- Murphy's 10th law

If you play with anything long enough, it will break.
-- Murphy's 12th law

All general statements are false; think about it.
All I ask is the chance to prove that money cannot make me happy.
All things being equal, fat people use more soap.
Always remember to pillage BEFORE you burn!
-- Unknown

Batman is the hero any of us could be, given determination, exercise, and deep psychological trauma. - Chris Jarocha-Ernst

Cuius testiculos habes, habeas cardia et cerebellum.
-- Terry Pratchett

If it weren't for electricity we'd all be watching television by candlelight.
--George Gobel

I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants.
--A. Whitney Brown

I think that's how Chicago got started. A bunch of people in New York said, 'Gee, I'm enjoying the crime and the poverty, but it just isn't cold enough. Let's go west.'
--Richard Jeni

Carl Zwanzig: "Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together...."

Douglas Adams: "There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened."

Albert Einstein: "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

(Can you tell I've been saving these for a while?)

One similar to what posted above...

"If you give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. If you teach a man to fish, he'll buy an ugly hat. If you talk to a starving man about fish, you're a consultant."
--Dogbert

I almost forgot one of my personal favorites...

"If it flies, floats, or fucks...rent it"

- No idea who said it first, heard it from many a boat and plane owner though...

I hope this is the correct spelling, but I doubt it.


Si Vis Pacem, Perra Bellum...

Latin, Means "If you want Peace, Prepare for War"

Unknown

"anything with tits or wheels will eventually give you problems"
-sign on the desk of the late 'Uncle Bobby' Collins

a Twain quote
"take for example a common criminal, and a congressman. But i repeat myself."

A couple I like

"I never said do what I do. I said do what I say"
--George Clooney as Seth Gecko in From Dusk Till Dawn.

One that I live by:

"It is not a mistake, but an experience"

Two that are really appropriate for work:

"Whoever gossips to you will gossip of you"
--Spanish Proverb.

"It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place"
--H.L. Mencken

The last one has taught me a lot about reading people.

"Life is a bitch, and she is back in heat."
-Roudy Roddy Piper from the movie "They Live"

"Give a man a fish, and he'll have food for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll ask you to cook it too."

And on a more serious note..

"Thinking derived from the physical sciences is increasingly exerting its influence in domains far beyond the original realm of physics. It has become an influence in human life and is dangerous, because the far reaching development in the technological power which is taking place around us is not accompanied by a simultanieously expanding vision of the aims toward wich the life of mankind can be directed."

For the life of me I cant remember where I got that quote, but I liked it so much I wrote it down.

"...And no philosophy, sadly, has all the answers. No matter how assured we may be about certain aspects of our belief, there are always painful inconsistencies, exceptions, and contradictions. This is true in religion as it is in politics, and is self-evident to all except fanatics and the naive. As for the fanatics, whose number is legion in our own time, we might be advised to leave them to heaven. They will not, unfortunately, do us the same courtesy. They attack us and each other, and whatever their protestations to peaceful intent, the bloody record of history makes clear that they are easily disposed to restore to the sword. My own belief in God, then, is just that -- a matter of belief, not knowledge. My respect for Jesus Christ arises from the fact that He seems to have been the most virtuous inhabitant of Planet Earth. But even well-educated Christians are frustated in their thirst for certainty about the beloved figure of Jesus because of the undeniable ambiguity of the scriptural record. Such ambiguity is not apparent to children or fanatics, but every recognized Bible scholar is perfectly aware of it. Some Christians, alas, resort to formal lying to obscure such reality."
- Steve Allen, comdeian, from an essay in the book "The Courage of Conviction", edited by Philip Berman

For all the good quotes you would ever want, run the program /usr/bin/fortune on any Unix box:)

"Never play with anything sharper than you are."
- Hillboy....awhile back.

"No success in life can compensate for failure in the home"
someone in the LDS church

"Google it." is the new "You can take that to the bank."

Not really a quote. More of an observation.

"Don't trust anyone." - Stone Cold Steve Austin.

And the rich guy in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade :cool:

"We must agree on what matters: kissing in public places, bacon sandwiches, disagreements, cutting-edge fashion, literature, generosity, water, a more equitable distribution of the world's resources, movies, music, freedom of thought, beauty, love. These will be our weapons."
- Salman Rushdie

I climbed up the door and opened the stairs, said my pajamas and put on my prayers. Then I turned off the bed and crawled into the light, all because you kissed me goodnight.

"You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image, when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do."
-Anne Lamott

"To believe in God or in a guiding force because someone tells you to is the height of stupidity. We are given senses to receive our information within. With our own eyes we see, and with our own skin we feel. With our intelligence, it is intended that we understand. But each person must puzzle it out for himself or herself."
-Sophy Burnham

"I won't take my religion from any man who never works except with his mouth."
-Carl Sandburg (1878 - 1967)

"Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life."
-Bertolt Brecht

"For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring."
-Carl Sagan

"God is the still, small voice that tells you everybody else is wrong"
-Anonymous

Here's a few of my faves...its funny how they are mostly from the works of Robert A. Heinlein...

Kissing girls is a goodness. It beats the hell out of card games. - RAH in Stranger in a Strange Land

I don't like to be called 'Doctor'... When they began handing out doctorates for comparative folk-dancing and advanced fly fishing, I became too stinkin' proud to use the title. I won't touch watered whiskey and I take no pride in watered-down degrees. - RAH in Stranger in a Strange Land

Some people say-I've heard talk-that married men should not go (to war). Because of their families.
But this involves contradiction, a fatal one. The family man dare not hang back and expect the bachelor to do his fighting for im. It is manifestly unfair for me to expect a bachelor to die for my children if I am unwilling to die for them myself. Enough of that attitude on the part of married men and the bachelor will refuse to fight if the married man stays safe at home...and the republic is doomed. The barbarian will walk in unopposed. - RAH in To Sail Beyond the Sunset

I will accept any rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. - RAH in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress

Pacifism is a shifty doctrin under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay--and claims a halo for his dishonesty. - RAH in Double Star

Certainly the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you; if you don't bet you can't win. - RAH in Time Enough for Love

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. - RAH in Time Enough for Love

A rational anarchist believes that concepts, such as 'state' and 'society' and 'government' have no existence save as physically exemplified in the acts of self-responsible individuals. He believes that it is impossible to shift blame, share blame, distribute blame.. as blame, guilt, responsibility are matters taking place inside human beings singly and _nowhere_ else. But being rational, he knows that not all individuals hold his evaluations, so he tries to live perfectly in an imperfect world.. aware that his efforts will be less than perfect yet undismayed by self-knowledge of self-failiure. - RAH in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress

What are the marks of a sick culture? It is a bad sign when the people of a country stop identifying themselves with the county and start identifying with a group. A racial group. Or a religion. Or a language. Anything, as long as it isn't the whole population. - RAH in Friday

Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks! - RAH

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. - Martin Luther King, Jr.

I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh. - Voltaire

just a few :D

See my sig.

“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Evil. Mistrust those who rejoice at it even more than those who do it."- Victor Hugo

"The truth is cruel, but it can loved, and it makes free those who have loved it"
-George Santayana

Fat people are harder to kidnap.

"I have the heart of a child. I keep it in a jar on my desk." - Steven King

"Abashed the Devil stood and felt how awful Goodness is." - T-Bird The Crow

"Victims, aren't we all." Eric Draven The Crow

"...as if the land was burning like the fires of hell, and the sky was boiling under the heat of a thousand suns. First there was silence. What followed was a roar to wake the dead, the sound of the world tearing. Parents and siblings turned to cinders, buildings blown to dust..." - Jeff Ridgway - www.drstrangelove.co.uk , www.strangestudios.co.uk

And the Gargoyle scoffed, "My bloody tears will scorch your Earth for the infinite sadness you have cast upon me. My terror was not fated--the evils of your will have destroyed the creature that once destined to save you." - The Gargoyle (story of mine)

"Life is strange for man with the name like samhain." - The Journey's of Sam Hain (another short story of mine, didn't realize the significance of Sam Hain at first)

Just some of my favorites, plus my signature at the bottom.

"If you can't beat them, you haven't tied them down properly." - Nycke Hunsberger

See The Punisher (2004). Thomas Jane says that in there.
Frank Castle (Thomas Jane): "Sic vis pacum para bellum. If you want peace, prepare for war."

My favorite-- Frank Castle: "2000 degrees, Mick. Enough to turn steel into butter. It won't hurt at first. It's too hot, you see? The flame sears the nerve endings shut, killing them. You'll go into shock... and all you'll feel is... cold. Isn't science fun, Mickey?" and then sticks Mickey with a Popsicle.

"Is something sacred? Yes, I say with Nietzsche. I could not pray to it, but I can stand in affirmation of its magnificence. This world is sacred."
-Daniel C Dennett

"You may find that having is not so pleasing a thing as wanting.
This is not logical but it is often true."
-Mister Spock

"Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good."
-Henry Rollins

Yes, the Green party supports the death penalty. People are, after all, composed of natural elements and therefore bio-degradable.

Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That’s relativity.

On the subject of industrial age workers unions:

"Change holds within itself the fear of chaos."

I'll just go. I'll go. If I don't he'll just keep calling and calling and calling and I'll just go. I'll go I'll go I'll go.

Magneto: Are you a God-fearing man, Senator? That is such a strange phrase. I've always thought of God as a teacher; a bringer of light, wisdom, and understanding. You see, I think what you really fear is me. Me and my kind. The Brotherhood of Mutants. Oh, it's not so surprising really. Mankind has always feared what it doesn't understand. Well, don't fear God, Senator, and certainly don't fear me. Not any more.

Magneto: Let's just say God works too slow.

Magneto: Welcome to the future... brother.

I know I'm a little behind in my forum reading, Strange Famous, but I just read your post and am curious where this came from. It quotes Jesus, but I don't recognize it from the Bible.

My favorite, also from the Bible "Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal, to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus" by the Apostle Paul writing in Phillipians 3:13,14

Religous or not, I think this is good advice; forget the mistakes of the past, learn from them, then move on.
