I didnt get that at first, then I was like ohh :slap: :rofl:

I am really disappointed, one Star Wars quote?  :o

sry for the long list, here are a few of my fav


"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you"

"To be angry is to be human.
I'm a Jedi. I can be better than this. "

"But Master Yoda says I should be mindful of the future.
But not at the expense of the moment. "
[spoiler]
"I know you would. I can feel your anger. It give you focus... makes you stronger. "

"Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. Attachment leads to jealousy. The shadow of greed that is. Train yourself to let go... of everything you fear to lose. "

"Remember, concentrate on the moment. Feel, don't think. Trust your instincts. May the force be with you."

"Don't lecture me, Obi-Wan! I see through the lies of the Jedi. I do not fear the dark side as you do. I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new Empire."

Your father's light saber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age.

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship. "

-Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
-Through passion, I gain strength.
-Through strength, I gain power.
-Through power, I gain victory.
-Through victory, my chains are broken.
-The Force shall free me.


"Is the dark side stronger?
No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive. "

"Not if anything to say about it I have!" [/spoiler]
Peace is a lie, there is only passion          -Fear leads to anger
Through passion, I gain strength              -Anger leads to hate
Through strength, I gain power                -Hate leads to suffering
Through power, I gain victory
Through victory, my chains are broken
The Force shall free me

"Master we came to rescue you."
*looks up* "good job."

Yoda quotes.. cool.
I always felt this one had a sublime truth to it:

Quote"Do or do not... there is no try."~Yoda

Has a sort-of Samurai feel to it.

i consider that a lie. Many times there are things that will get in the way, that will cause you to fail. Meaning that it is possible to fail while "succeding" if that makes sense

Sometimes you learn more from a failure than you do from accomplishing something. I think there is an Einstein quote to that effect. I'll see if I can find it.

Quote from: Albert Einstein
"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."

I thought there was one about each failure you make you are one step closer to finding the solution. I can't find it, though.

When you do something it gets done.

If things get in the way, then you did not do, you only tried and the task is not complete.

Such is life. Unplanned things get in the way.
Quote"So it goes."
~Billy Pilgrim
fictional character from Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five

Only when you try and succede has something been done.

The power from "Do or do not" is the "follow through".
To deliberatly do something, dispite obsticals.
To push through and achieve the task.
To make it happen.

Things getting in the way (however overwhelming) are convienient excuses for failure if you stop there.
But if you continue until the obsticals pass and you finish, then the task is complete.

-edit (my spelling and grammar are horrible)

And now the king of quotable:



Oscar Wilde

"True friends stab you in the front."

"What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing."

"The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read."


"Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious."

"A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it."

"Only the shallow know themselves."

A glass is always full with 1/2 some liquid and the other 1/2 is air.
