"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." -John Stuart Mill, 1863 "I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can let go. Things go wrong so you can appreciate when they're right. And sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." -Marilyn Monroe "I've known a few people who had dreams. One thing they all had in common was they got laughed at, and they didn't care." -House "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." -Dr. Seuss "A friend is someone I can be sincere with, someone I can think out loud to." -Ralph Waldo Emerson "It's like you come onto this planet with a crayon box. Now you may get the 8 pack, you may get the 16 pack but it's all in what you do with the crayons - the colors - that you're given. Don't worry about coloring within the lines or coloring outside the lines - I say color outside the lines, you know what I mean? Color all over the page; don't box me in!" -Waking Life "Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails." -Corinthians 13:4 "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, saves those whose spirit is crushed." -Psalm 34:19 "[It's not for us to decide what has happened to us, it is for us to decide what to do with what has happened to us.]" - Heavily Paraphrased J.R.R. Tolkein (Gandalf) "We've all been sorry, we've all been hurt. But how we survive is what makes us who we are." -Rise Against “Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it.” -Mark Twain “In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, Brave, Hated, and Scorned. When his cause succeeds however,the timid join him, For then it costs nothing to be a Patriot.” -Mark Twain "Right is right even if nobody does it. Wrong is wrong even if everybody does it." -Sangvian Intravichai "Politics is the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow... And to have the ability afterward to explain why it didn't happen." Winston Churchill "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 responsible for everything I do." -Robert A. Heinlein
