"In a minute there is time / For decisons and revisions which a minute will reverse." T.S. Eliot The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. it's even better in context! EDIT: let's try that again: it's even better in context! |

"Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born." "Coersion, after all, merely captures man. Freedom captivates him." "Facts are stupid things." "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." "Freedom is one of the deepest and noblest aspirations of the human spirit." "How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin." "I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves."

I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first." "The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would hire them away." "The government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'" "The ultimate determinant in the struggle now going on for the world will not be bombs and rockets but a test of wills and ideas-a trial of spiritual resolve: the values we hold, the beliefs we cherish and the ideals to which we are dedicated."

"Thomas Jefferson once said, 'We should never judge a president by his age, only by his works.' And ever since he told me that, I stopped worrying." "To sit back hoping that someday, someway, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last--but eat you he will." "You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness.

"History teaches that wars begin when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap."

The day after I was elected, I had my high school grades classified Top Secret." "Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty." "Don't be afraid to see what you see." "Double, no triple, our troubles and we'd still be better off than any other people on earth. It is time that we recognized that ours was, in truth, a noble cause." "Facts are stubborn things."

"I couldn't help but say to Mr. Gorbachev just think how easy his task and mine might be in these meetings that we held if suddenly there was a threat to this world from another planet.

Now, I'm not going to deny that you don't now and then slip up on something; no one bats a thousand."

"My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose - somehow we win out." "No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!" "Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong." "Our forbearance should never be misunderstood. Our reluctance for conflict should not be misjudged as a failure of will. When action is required to preserve our national security, we will act." "Politics is just like show business. You have a hell of an opening, coast for a while, and then have a hell of a close." "Protecting the rights of even the least individual among us is basically the only excuse the government has for even existing." "Recession is when a neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours." "Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15." "Status quo, you know, is Latin for 'the mess we're in'." "Surround yourself with the best people you can find, delegate authority, and don't interfere as long as the policy you've decided upon is being carried out." "The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much." "The taxpayer - that's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination." "The thought of being President frightens me and I do not think I want the job." "The ultimate determinant in the struggle now going on for the world will not be bombs and rockets but a test of wills and ideas - a trial of spiritual resolve: the values we hold, the beliefs we cherish and the ideals to which we are dedicated." "The United Sates has much to offer the third world war." "There are no easy answers' but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right." "They say the world has become too complex for simple answers. They are wrong." "To paraphrase Winston Churchill, I did not take the oath I have just taken with the intention of presiding over the dissolution of the world's strongest economy." "I hope you're all Republicans." [speaking to surgeons as he entered the operating room following a 1981 assassination attempt] "Honey, I forgot to duck." [to his wife, Nancy, after surviving the assassination attempt] "Well, I learned a lot....I went down [to Latin America] to find out from them and [learn] their views. You'd be surprised. They're all individual countries" "I don't know. I've never played a governor." [asked by a reporter in 1966 what kind of governor he would be] "Trees cause more pollution than automobiles."

"The state of California has no business subsidizing intellectual curiosity." "We are trying to get unemployment to go up, and I think we're going to succeed." "As a matter of fact, Nancy never had any interest in politics or anything else when we got married." "I'm afraid I can't use a mule. I already have several hundred up on Capitol Hill." [refusing a gift of a mule] "What we have found in this country, and maybe we're more aware of it now, is one problem that we've had, even in the best of times, and that is the people who are sleeping on the grates, the homeless who are homeless, you might say, by choice." "How are you, Mr. Mayor? I'm glad to meet you. How are things in your city?" [greeting Samual Pierce, his secretary of Housing and Urban Development, during a White House reception for mayors] "Today we did what we had to do. They counted on America to be passive. They counted wrong." "Today, if you invent a better mousetrap, the government comes along with a better mouse." "Trust, but verify." "We can not play innocents abroad in a world that is not innocent." "We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone." "We have so many people who can't see a fat man standing beside a thin one without coming to the conclusion that the fat man got that way by taking advantage of the thin one!" "We might come closer to balancing the Budget if all of us lived closer to the Commandments and the Golden Rule." "We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions." "We should measure welfare's success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added." "We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we will always be free." "Welfare's purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence." "What makes him think a middle aged actor, who's played with a chimp, could have a future in politics?" "What we have found in this country, and maybe we're more aware of it now, is one problem that we've had, even in the best of times, and that is the people who are sleeping on the grates, the homeless, you might say, by choice." "Whatever time I've got left now belongs to the Big Fella Upstairs." "While I take inspiration from the past, like most Americans, I live for the future." "Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face." A friend collected these and posted them on his blog, all of these are from Ronald Reagan. |

ANIMAL FARM! 8D I <3 that book. Another good one is "They looked from man to pig, and pig to man, and from man to pig again, and already no one could tell the difference". Anyways... "I am the voice of the voiceless; Through me the dumb shall speak till the death World's ears be made to hear the wrongs of the wordless weak. And I am my brother's keeper, and I will fight his fights, and speak the words for beast and bird till the world shall set things right." ~Ella Wheeler Wilcox "Animal ownership has traditionally been held as a right. It needs to be a revocable privilege." ~Robert Valentine "He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men... We can judge the heart of a man by his dealing with animals. ~Imanuel Kant "You can never do a kindness too soon, because you do not know how soon it will be too late." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson (My location!) "Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight." ~Albert Schweitzer "The world will keep turning without me, and anyway, what will happen, WILL happen, and there's no use trying to resist." -Anne Frank "Jean Louise. Stand up, Jean Louise. Your father is passing." -To Kill a Mockingbird |

Another quote I like is "It is what it is", which can sometimes be followed by "and that's all that it is". It's useful in a lot of situations. |

I might be less than three copies of Animal Farm, but they would have to be really, really big copies.
Do I have anything to add to the conversation? No. Did I post in this thread for a reason? No. Is this spam? Maybe. Wait... Well, I have to avoid getting flamed somehow. Quote: The human race will begin solving its problems on the day that it ceases taking itself so seriously.

"They danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'" -Kerouac "Woo, tangent." -King of all Cosmos "Life is a game, boy. Life is a game that one plays according to the rules." "Yes, sir. I know it is. I know it." Game, my a**. Some game. If you get on the side where all the hot-shots are, then it's a game, all right— I'll admit that. But if you get on the other side, where there aren't any hot-shots, then what's a game about it? Nothing. No game. -Salinger |

"And if you don't like it, you whiny, snot-nosed, sniveling brats can form a line behind me and-wait, it's still on?" - Drek in a video sent to one of his planetery victims "Ah, yes, I always was big for my age." "YOU WERE 26!" - Qwark and Nefarious discussing their days in high school together. "....'cause I've got wind! I mean, I'm like the wind! You never know where I'm gonna show up next, and I blow hard, and I can be cooling on a warm summer's day!" - Thug sending a warning message "First, Ratchet and Clank will wade through a series of tunnels of waist-high raw sewage." "What?!" "Please hold your questions until the end of the presentation. Then our agents must split up. Clank will enter the ventilation shaft, where he will deploy this Banana Guided Autonomus Monkey Device, or the BGAMD. Ratchet will use his knowledge of the Tyhhranoid language and customs to win the trust of the alien guards, sneak into Nefarious' personal office, steal everything that isn't nailed down, and exfiltrate the base completely undetected!" "That's crazy!" "But it just might work!" - Qwark's plan of attack for infiltrating Nefarious's aqautic base. The funniest part of it is probably that the entire slideshow is poorly drawn in crayon. Yay for Ratchet and a Clank! |

"I don't think I can fix this / Don't think I could change / But that's the problem / We never speak to Him / Our closing walls have caged us in / And I can't quite remember // This was the first time I didn't say enough / This was the only time I kept it close enough // Brace yourself! They're not waking up // Oh, my God / I hate the me that I've become / This needy useless forgetting one / Truthfully I can't be the me that I've washed up to be" - Underøath, "Moving For The Sake Of Motion" (from Define the Great Line) Underøath is endlessly quotable. That's just one of the many insightful moments of their lyrics. |

"God's in the spot you can like it or not So rip the knob off the volume when you give this a shot And raise your hands as the Slam starts to thicken the plot Openin' eyes to the lies of the enemies' lot So run like the wind from the sin of your past Keep your eyes on the prize when they put you on blast It's the Christ on the cross, it's humanity's shot It's a worldwide call to everything that we're not " The Slam by Toby Mac, which is one of my most listened to songs. |
