Socrates
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
Aristotle
Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way... you become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.
Aristotle
We are what we repeatedly do.
Aristotle
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

And one of the greatest tragedies is people always just quoting sh'it here and never applying their true meanings in real life.
W. Braun
I scanned thru all of the other entries to see if he would respond to this thread. I'd say not just here, but everywhere you look.
You will NEVER be measured by what you "think".
Only by what you DO.

i have not tired of the wilderness; rather i enjoy its beauty and the vagrant life i lead, more keenly all the time. i prefer... the star sprinkled sky to a roof, the obscure and difficult trail, leading into the unknown, to any paved highway, and the deep peace of the wild to the discontent bred by cities... there are so few with whom i can share the things that mean so much to me that i have learned to contain myself. it is enough that i am surrounded by beauty and carry it with me in things that are a constant delight... like the silver bracelet on my wrist, whose three turqoises gleam in the firelight.

"The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion"
"Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex, the ugly ones included."

hey there...
"Those that are weak, broken or fragil can speak in POWERFUL ways, if folks would just listen while they can. The smallest light can shine on the greatest truth... even if its flame doesn't shine long or hard, it's work is JUST as important.
If we fail to speak and acknowledge weakness, we dishonor God. His power is made perfect in our weakness. How many times have we seen this on our ranch? Look at us! We're STILL shining bright...
no matter if my twin's brain has a few flickers... and no matter if your sister's brain doesn't shine full, there's still an awesome power of life shining out of them... shining light onto entirely DIFFERENT spots than our light may fall on."
JADE SMITH, to the ranch gang, concerning candles and the word retarded...
from the short story, THE CANDLES RETARDED FLAME, in the book, "INTRODUCING..."

"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the '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 us. Our task must be to free outselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
--Albert Einstein

"And what if we picked the wrong religion? Every week, we're just making God madder and madder!"
--Homer Simpson
"Thank the Lor -- thank the Lord? That sounded like a prayer. A prayer. A prayer in a public school! God has no place within these walls, just like facts have no place within organized religion."
--Superintendent Chalmers
"Soul? Come on, Milhouse, there is no such thing as a soul. It's just something they made up to scare kids, like the bogeyman, or Michael Jackson."

Life is a sexually transmitted disease.
--R. D. Laing
When a guy goes to a hooker, he's not paying her for sex, he's paying her to leave.

--Don Schrader
"I thank God I was raised Catholic, so sex will always be dirty."
--John Waters
"She said he proposed something on their wedding night that even her own brother wouldn't have suggested."
