What are everyones favorite quotes?
They can be real or fictional.
mine: "...and while the law has many penalties for the atrocities we inflict on others, there are no punishments for the terrors we inflict on ourselves.
So you send your men. They wont find themselves a fight. They'll only find and old man. An old man tired, but satisfied that he did his duty. And old man weary from a mind more filled with memory, than it is with hope"
"A wizard?! Im harry, just harry!" -Harry Potter
"I believe in an absolute difference between animation and photography. However sophisticated your computer-generated imagery is, if it's been created from no physical elements and you haven't shot anything, it's going to feel like animation. There are usually two different goals in a visual effects movie. One is to fool the audience into seeing something seamless, and that's how I try to use it. The other is to impress the audience with the amount of money spent on the spectacle of the visual effect, and that, I have no interest in. We try to enhance our stunt work and floor effects with extraordinary CGI tools like wire and rig removals. If you put a lot of time and effort into matching your original film elements, the kind of enhancements you can put into the frames can really trick the eye, offering results far beyond what was possible 20 years ago. The problem for me is if you don't first shoot something with the camera on which to base the shot, the visual effect is going to stick out if the film you're making has a realistic style or patina. I prefer films that feel more like real life, so any CGI has to be very carefully handled to fit into that." - Christopher Nolan
"He Profits Most Who Serves Best" - Arthur Sheldon
''Amidst the blue skies, a link from past to future. The sheltering wings of the protector."

Somebody once asked the Dalai Lama what surprises him most. This was his response:
❝Man, because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived.❞

Something about this really bugs me, I guess it's the self righteousness/ arrogance combined with the tired injunction to "free your mind and think".
Mr. Twain was not known for tolerating ignorance or foolishness, so throwing adjectives like self-righteous and arrogant at him might have been considered as a compliment. (I'm sure it would be taken in the context of what you were trying to sell him.)
Here's another arrogant quote from him :P

Yeah this is good advice and not arrogant.
"Stealing, of course, is a crime, and a very impolite thing to do. But like most impolite things, it is excusable under certain circumstances. Stealing is not excusable if, for instance, you are in a museum and you decide that a certain painting would look better in your house, and you simply grab the painting and take it there. But if you were very, very hungry, and you had no way of obtaining money, it might be excusable to grab the painting, take it to your home, and eat it." - Lemony Snicket

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]
"Master we came to rescue you."

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.

Live your life. Listen to you music way too loud, be as crazy and as ''different'' as you want to be and always remember you're not alone.
Quote from: SleepKillerNever look at what another person did wrong rather look at what you yourself could have done better.
Now this is one that can be applied to many different situations but I primarily pondered over it while playing team based shooters because so many people fail to do this. Do it and your entire team will benefit. (But also try applying it to life as well; after an argument with someone or something similar. You'll be better off for it.)
" Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future."

"Gentlemen, when the enemy is committed to a mistake we must not interrupt him too soon." - Horatio Nelson
Something's going on here... Napoleon definitely said it, but the quote has been bashed about a bit.

"I get an urge, like a pregnant elephant, to go away and give birth to a book."
"I shouldn't be saying this - high treason, really - but I sometimes wonder if Americans aren't fooled by our accent into detecting brilliance that may not really be there."

"We are looking for an apartment (in Paris). If we don't find anything, then I'll probably just buy the hotel."
hahha nice Unit, but to be honest i don't think Napoleon had read anything about Nelson...for the same reason he had never read anything about Wellington. He thought he was the best, and with an ego like that you wont get very far lol

Yes, I made 3 movie quizzes with the actor's faces removed.
I haven't made any more because of the ability to "search by image" via Google ruins the fun.
I'll think about it. Perhaps if I "illustrated" the quotes for people to work out... that could work.

The movie screenshot type of threads are always pretty fun.
People who search by image via Google AND post an answer ruin the game, though.

Then you're lucky enough to be an optimist or the member of some form of religious practise.
Don't mind us existentialists.
Here's some Nietzsche again (at least tirpider might know what I'm on about):
"Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest."

"Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest."
Gotta love Nietzsche. He needed it more than anyone.
Perhaps he was more of an optimist than folks give him credit for. He seemed to thrive on constantly building hurdles of soul-crushing-mythical proportion.
I contribute a pic. Not exactly a quote, but certainly within the unending boundaries of existentialism.

Gotta love Nietzsche. He needed it more than anyone.

Heh heh. I'm not sure whether I should be delighted... or whether I should sink into a metaphysical pit of despair for understanding existential jokes.

Longer Quotes:
[spoiler]
"... a fullness of state power such as only despotism had enjoyed...surpassed all the past because it strove for the formal annihilation of the individual...Once the earth is brought under all-embracing economic control, then mankind will find it has been reduced to machinery in its service, as a monstrous clockwork system of ever smaller, more finely adjusted wheels" - Fredrick Nietzsche
"Finding the occasional straw of truth awash in a great ocean of confusion and bamboozle requires intelligence, vigilance, dedication and courage. But if we don't practice these tough habits of thought, we cannot hope to solve the truly serious problems that face us - and we risk becoming a nation of suckers, up for grabs by the next charlatan who comes along." - Carl Sagan
"The great gift of universal knowledge is bequeathed to those who dare brave the heights of one's own spiritual mountain. It is given to those who not only reach the summit, but climb back down and point the way for others. The great knowing is bestowed upon those whose virtue, strength and temperance are one's guides. Mind, body, heart and soul, when in harmony, are the great attractors of truth and truth can be gained from no other method. The human being must embrace the incorruptible principles of authenticity and embody the integrity that comes from one's own inner grit to find the way. The most astounding reality, the real magic of this gift, is the awakened and fully realized, individualized self. It is the recognition of a sleeping god that had been at rest all along, lost in the dream of being human." - Claudia Pavonis
"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise" - F. Scott Fitzgerald
"One... gets an impression that civilization is something which was imposed on a resisting majority by a minority which understood how to obtain possession of the means to power and coercion. It is, of course, natural to assume that these difficulties are not inherent in the nature of civilization itself but are determined by the imperfections of the cultural forms which have so far been developed." - Sigmund Freud
"Censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the end, the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion... In the long run it will create a generation incapable of appreciating the difference between independence of thought and subservience." - Henry Steele Commager
"Responsive leaders prefer knowledge and information to be spread as widely as possible among the population, because an informed public is necessary to govern effectively, independent thought produces original ideas and is the key factor by which we progress as a society. When independent thought is stifled society is and will remain stagnant until it is free to flourish once again." - Teresa Stover
"This is where we are at right now, as a whole. No one is left out of the loop. We are experiencing a reality based on a thin veneer of lies and illusions. A world where greed is our God and wisdom is sin, where division is key and unity is fantasy, where the ego-driven cleverness of the mind is praised, rather than the intelligence of the heart." - Bill Hicks
"History shows that there is nothing so easy to enslave and nothing so hard to emancipate as ignorance, hence it becomes the double enemy of civilization. By its servility it is the prey of tyranny, and by its credulity it is the foe of enlightenment." - Lemuel K. Washburn
"We have been socialized to respect fear more than our own needs for language and definition, and while we wait in silence for that final luxury of fearlessness, the weight of that silence will choke us." - Audre Lorde
"Each of you, for himself, by himself and on his own responsibility, must speak. And it is a solemn and weighty responsibility, and not lightly to be flung aside at the bullying of the pulpit, press, government, or the empty catchphrases of politicians. Each must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, and which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your convictions is to be an unqualified and inexcusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let man label you as they may. If you alone of all the nation shall decide one way, and that way be the right way according to your convictions of the right, you have done your duty by yourself and by your country- hold up your head! You have nothing to be ashamed of." - Mark Twain

"We are the most powerful military force in the history of man. Every fight is our fight. Because what happens over here, matters over there. We don't get to sit one out. Learning to use the tools of modern warfare is the difference between the prospering of your people, and utter destruction. We can't give you freedom. But we can give you the know how to acquire it. And that, my friends, is worth more than a whole army base of steel. Sure it matters who's got the bigger stick, but it matters a helluva lot more who's swinging it. This is the time for heroes. A time for legends... History is written by the victors. Now, let's get to work." ~ Lieutenant General Shepherd
Not so philosophical, but so true it hurts.
