A famous qoute that means something to you
Hey guys share a quote that is important to you. Like mine is from civil war general Robert E. Lee.
"Alone we fall.. Together we shall prevail" Or maybe this one from FDR "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself" Or maybe JFK's famous speech "Don't ask what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country" Or maybe the oldie but goodie "There is no I in team" I will let you guys and girls out there tell me your favorite quote.

How about the Clone High JFK
"I'm going to respond to that, by TAKING OFF MY SHIRT!" |
"Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph."
-Haile Selassie |
I have an entire speech....
“What General Weygand has called the Battle of France is over. The Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour."” - Prime Minister Winston Churchill House of Commons, 18th June 1940 |

"“First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.”
-Rev. Martin Niemoller, 1945 "Here, age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future." - Walter E.

Some of my favorite quotes come from Eric Hoffer:
"It is not at all simple to understand the simple." "It is the pull of opposite poles that stretches souls. And only stretched souls make music." "The compulsion to take ourselves seriously is in inverse proportion to our creative capacity. When the creative flow dries up, all we have left is our importance." "The wise learn from the experience of others, and the creative know how to make a crumb of experience go a long way." "The most gifted members of the human species are at their creative best when they cannot have their way, and must compensate for what they miss by realizing and cultivating their capacities and talents."

Jack Handey favorites:
"Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you're drunk." "In weightlifting, I don't think sudden, uncontrolled urination should automatically disqualify you." "I wish a robot would get elected President. That way, when he came to town, we could all take a shot at him and not feel too bad." "Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to calm myself down. I'll go over to the person's house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I'm gone, but you know what I've left on the porch? A jack-o-lantern with a knife in the side of its head with a note that says "You." After that, I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done." "If I ever opened a trampoline store, I don't think I'd call it Trampo- Land, because you might think it was a store for tramps, which is not the impression we are trying to convey with our store. On the other hand, we would not prohibit tramps from browsing, or testing the trampolines, unless a tramp's gyrations seemed to be getting out of control." "If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one would you think liked dolphins the most? I'd say Flippy, wouldn't you? You'd be wrong though. It's Hambone." "I bet the main reason that police keep people away from a plane crash is they don't want anybody walking in and lying down in the crash stuff, then when somebody comes up act like they just woke up and go, "What was that?!"" "When you go for a job interview, I think a good thing to ask is if they ever press charges." "One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said, "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late." "I bet for an Indian, shooting an old fat pioneer woman in the back with an arrow, and she fires her shotgun into the ground as she falls over, is like to top thing you can do." I'm done for now... man I love Jack Handey |

My motto for this year
"Man was forced to accept masochism as his ideal -- under the threat that sadism is the only alternative. This is the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on mankind." - Howard Roark, The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand "I DO have strong beliefs. First, proof is king. Logic is Prime Minister." - Force-Attuned Krogoth, TDA "It is shocking to find out how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult." - Princess Irulan, Dune by Frank Herbert I, too, love Despair.com. "Every dark cloud has a silver lining. Lightning kills hundreds of people every year who try to find it." "Failure -- when your best just isn't good enough." "Not all pain is gain." "The tallest blade of grass is the first to be cut by the lawnmower." "It's always darkest just before it goes pitch black." "The downside of being better than everyone else is that people tend to assume you're being pretensious." "It hurts to admit your mistakes -- but when they're big enough, the pain only lasts a second." "None of us is as dumb as all of us." "It's best to avoid standing directly between a competitive jerk and his goals." |

"Life has no innate purpose. It's meaning comes solely from what you do with it." - someone must have said this before me. In fact, I probably heard it long ago, and just forgot where.
"Man is not a means to an end, but an end in himself." - Ayn Rand In case you can't tell, I have a tendency to reject religion in favor of evidence. If there's no indication it's there, then it's existance is generally moot. |

a serious post.... ah!
"Seek not the depths of your knowledge
With a staff or sounding line For self is a sea boundless and measureless and the soul walks all paths." ~Kahlil Gibran I picked this as my sr. quote. 'Why?', this post asks would this mean something to me. well, as time goes on, and hardships come and go, you see your self facing so many new challenges that you would think you would never accomplish, you begain to doubt what you can do. And for one thing the whole time I had been looking for a sr. quote, or trying to make one up, they kept coming out cynical; sarcastic; apathetic; and pessimistic (really? :rolleyes: ) But when I came across this I paused and thought (:ahh: yes, it happens). I'm always 'preaching' to people how you should never limit your self, or doubt what you can do, there is so much out there, and so much potential in people, you should never limit yourself. Go for things, push the limits in yourself, see how far you can go, and see how exhilarating it will be. 'and the soul walks all paths.' ? well, I'm rather one of a romantic (lit. term) and that line is rather fascinating, that you can try so much, and there are no boundaries, that even your soul wanders upon every possibility. ((OK, i tried to make it serious ... sorry if i failed and many times i said 'you' i also meant it as a reference to myself, but as i said, i mean it to everyone, for Kahlil Gibran's words where to everyone. And this is just the way I see it, you can take it as something else.)) ;) |
another fav. that is will be engraved into my yearbook
"Time...":D that's my own inspiration |
I like the quote I found in a "new age" store.
I bought the bumper sticker it was on just to put somewhere I can look at it always. It says, Honor the past Live the present Create the future It rings true to me for multiple reasons. I study my family's genealogy and am always finding new things that ancestors have done that are interesting. As for the present, I just try to live one day at a time. But, I do realize that you do have to create your own future and that the past, present future cycle will start all over again someday - or sometime. Time is a true mystery. |

There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. "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 of charity 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." I been sayin' that s**t for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your *ss. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherf***er 'fore you popped a cap in his *ss. But I saw some s**t this mornin' made me think twice. Now I'm thinkin', it could mean you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. .45 here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous *ss in the valley of darkness. Or it could be you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that s**t ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin'. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd.

It is an emotion that encompasses the full depth of heart, mind, and soul." - Zensunni Wisdom from the Wandering "What is a man but a memory for those who follow?" - Duke Leto Atreides "One uses power by grasping it lightly. To grasp with too much force is to be taken over by power, thus becomming its victim." - Bene Gesserit Axiom "The capacity to learn is a gift; The ability to learn is a skill; The willingness to learn is a choice." - Rebec of Ginaz "The stone is heavy and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both." - Duke Leto Atreides "The power of inevitably try to harness any new knowledge to their own desires.

And a quote from Eminem's song: "White America": 'The women and men who have broke their necks for the freedom of speech the United States government has sworn to uphold.' - This is because of the many things told on T.V. One minute you hear one thing, and then you hear another...which makes me believe that the government is trying to keep some stuff above the microscope. These quotes aren't inteded to cause flames. If you wish to though, PM me. And 1 more before I leave: 'Guns don't kill people, people kill people' - I'm not exactly sure who said this. |
mine is fairly simple & short...but it has meaning!

"When the world has a bad day, we (EMS) have a good day."
-my EMT teacher "Knowledge is the roadblock to learning. Humility is the key to learning" - i forgot who said it |
I guess this comes from when I was a varsity volleyball coach, but I can't help but love it... (this is exactly what FIRST is not about!) :)
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing!" by Vince Lombardi |
Quote:
Winning is working through tough times to find success. Winning is seeing a student go from a person who would rather cheat to a person who defends values and principle. Winning is knowing that you did the best you could possible give. Winning is receiving a "thank you" from a parent who knows that you made a difference in their kid's life. FIRST *is* about winning, and it has made many of us winners... I am glad to be a part of it. As you can see, I am a "glass half-full" kind of guy. Optimism is contagious. Andy B. |
"Play to win or don't play at all, but if you lose, take it graciously."
That's a saying heard often around these parts within FIRST teams. |
