Quote of the Day

[Jack_Bauer]

I wanted to start something different. Basically this thread is for everyone to post a quote by anyone famous or not and they can discuss how this is relevant to them or somehow inspired them. Its also not limited to just one quote a day, so it can be numerous quotes. Ok... Well I'll start.

“There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.”- George Bernard Shaw

“There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.”
- Oscar Wilde

Two similar quotes from two different authors. I read GBS's version first back in 10th grade and I never knew what it meant till recently. Though some may say that these words are cowardly, I think I can relate to it in terms of gaining love and then to losing it. But in retrospect, I'd rather know what it means to have something so special and lose it rather than not knowing at all. Either way, its tragic.

I don't like the rape scenes and the girl bleeds. I also find it a turn off when they say cheesy lines like "screw me until my pubic hairs fall off". I mean how is that supposed to be a turn on?

"The first lesson of economics is scarcity: There is never enough of anything to satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics." Thomas Sowell

"When someone says that the free market isn't working, what he means is that he doesn't like the way the free market is working." Nicholas Martin

"Gentlemen may talk of the Age of Chivalry, but remember the ploughshare, poachers, and pickpockets whom they lead. It is with these sad instruments that your great warriors and kings have been doing their murderous work in the world." William Makepeace Thackeray

So this is claiming that great civilizations are responsible for theft, murder and scandalous people, indirectly.

You will find that in any civilization no matter how good the government says they are. It's imposable to control this type of behavior to a 99.9%

"However human, envy is certainly not one of the sources of discontent that a free society can eliminate. It is probably one of the essential conditions for the preservation of such a society that we do not countenance envy, not sanction its demands by camouflaging it as social justice, but treat it, in the words of John Stuart Mill, as "the most anti-social and evil of all passions. "

"Music, Rock and Roll music especially, is such a generational thing. Each generation must have their own music, I had my own in my generation, you have yours, everyone I know has their own generation. "

Ronnie James Dio

[Trefellin]

"Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." ~Hermann Goering

[Jules shoots Flock-of-Seagulls, Brett recoils in horror]

Jules: Does he look like a *****?

Jules: [shoots Brett in the shoulder, Brett screams] Does he look … like … a *****?!
Brett: [in pain] No-o!
Jules: Then why'd you try to **** him like a *****, Brett?
Brett: [faintly] I didn't!
Jules: Yes, you did! Yes, you did, Brett! You tried to **** him. And Marsellus Wallace don't like to be ****ed by anybody except Mrs. Wallace. You read the Bible, Brett?
Brett: [gasping for breath] Yes.
Jules: Well, there's this passage I've got memorized, sort'a fits the occasion. Ezekiel 25:17? "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. [begins pacing about the room] 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 my name is the Lord [pulls out his gun and aims it at Brett] when I lay my vengeance upon thee!"

Today, politicized "science" has too big a stake in the global warming hysteria to let the facts speak for themselves and let the chips fall where they may.

Anyone wanting to practice engineering or architecture has to abide by objective standards. I think that anyone who wants to practice medicine professionally should have to [do] so too. People who believe that personal experience is the best way to evaluate drugs and therapies should have to identify themselves as spiritualists or New Age religious practitioners but not as medical practitioners. They should be forced to admit to themselves and to the world that they reject science and objective standards, and they should never be allowed to sell the drugs they prescribe

Rosemary Jobs

There is no alternative medicine. There is only scientifically proven, evidence-based medicine supported by solid data or unproven medicine, for which scientific evidence is lacking. Whether a therapeutic practice is "Eastern" or "Western," is unconventional or mainstream, or involves mind-body techniques or molecular genetics is largely irrelevant except for historical purposes and cultural interest. We recognize that there are vastly different types of practitioners and proponents of the various forms of alternative medicine and conventional medicine, and that there are vast differences in the skills, capabilities, and beliefs of individuals within them and the nature of their actual practices. Moreover, the economic and political forces in these fields are large and increasingly complex and have the capability for being highly contentious. Nonetheless, as believers in science and evidence, we must focus on fundamental issues -- namely, the patient, the target disease or condition, the proposed or practiced treatment, and the need for convincing data on safety and therapeutic efficacy

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

-- C. S. Lewis

The study of history is a powerful antidote to contemporary arrogance.

The ones who get bullied need to open their minds and let their abused lives kick the ***** of the bullies with redirected self-esteem. That's how I live my life everyday.

Agreed. Society's definition of growing up is essentially giving up on life and thereby turning into a sheep and a robot. **** that ****.

Nah. I think it's more along the lines of letting go of the past and moving forward. To realize you will never be young again and share your wisdom with the next generation, so they too can learn and expand their minds. So they won't go through the same things you had to.


But the 90's still kick ***.

[Caster13]

I was more thinking of the aspect of conforming to everybody else. Not a fan of that.

And the 90s sucked for the most part.

Equality of the general rules of law and conduct, however, is the only kind of equality conducive to liberty and the only equality which we can secure without destroying liberty. Not only has liberty nothing to do with any other sort of equality, but it is even bound to produce inequality in many respects. This is the necessary result and part of the justification of individual liberty: if the result of individual liberty did not demonstrate that some manners of living are more successful than others, much of the case for it would vanish.
-Friedrich August von Hayek

Mr. Madison, what you've just said, is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling incoherent response were you close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

"Most economic fallacies derive from the tendency to assume that there is a fixed pie, that one party can gain only at the expense of another."
Milton Friedman

"Bastiat wrote a parable about this that has become known as the "Broken Window Fallacy." A shopkeeper's window is broken by a vandal. A crowd forms, sympathizing with the man, but pretty soon, the people start to suggest the boy wasn't guilty of vandalism; instead, he was a public benefactor, creating economic benefits for everyone in town. After all, fixing the broken window creates employment for the glazier, who will then buy bread and benefit the baker, who will then buy shoes and benefit the cobbler, and so forth.Those are the seen effects of the broken window. What's unseen is what the shopkeeper would have done with the money had the vandal not broken his window. He might have employed the tailor by purchasing a suit. The broken window produced at least two unseen effects. First, it shifted unemployment from the glazier, who now has a job, to the tailor, who doesn't. Second, it reduced the shopkeeper's wealth. Explicitly, had it not been for the vandalism, the shopkeeper would have had a window and a suit; now, he has just a window."

"I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"

This one comes from one of my very old friends from my uni days:

"I don't have any friends; just people who haven't out-lived their usefulness yet..."

My friendship with him pretty much fits that model, but it doesn't bother me, since the rest of my relationships are the polar opposite.:)

Not really a quote, but something to live by,

”Spaceflight will never tolerate carelessness, incapacity, and neglect. Somewhere, somehow, we screwed up. It could have been in design, build, or test. Whatever it was, we should have caught it. We were too gung ho about the schedule and we locked out all of the problems we saw each day in our work. Every element of the program was in trouble and so were we. The simulators were not working, Mission Control was behind in virtually every area, and the flight and test procedures changed daily. Nothing we did had any shelf life. Not one of us stood up and said, ‘Dammit, stop!’ I don’t know what Thompson’s committee will find as the cause, but I know what I find. We are the cause! We were not ready! We did not do our job. We were rolling the dice, hoping that things would come together by launch day, when in our hearts we knew it would take a miracle. We were pushing the schedule and betting that the Cape would slip before we did.

From this day forward, Flight Control will be known by two words: ‘Tough’ and ‘Competent.’ Tough means we are forever accountable for what we do or what we fail to do. We will never again compromise our responsibilities. Every time we walk into Mission Control we will know what we stand for. Competent means we will never take anything for granted. We will never be found short in our knowledge and in our skills. Mission Control will be perfect. When you leave this meeting today you will go to your office and the first thing you will do there is to write ‘Tough and Competent’ on your blackboards. It will never be erased. Each day when you enter the room these words will remind you of the price paid by Grissom, White, and Chaffee. These words are the price of admission to the ranks of Mission Control." - Gene Kranz.

Well it is when your friend has to throw away his bacon after not using it for a while becuase he was never home. Hence why I made that comment.
