• ""I've lived by their rules my entire life. I've protected them. envied them. and for what? To be treated like an animal. We are not animals! Is this want you want?" "I have no wish to remove one shackle from around your necks, only to replace them with one of my own. You have a choice: you can run and hide, or you can stay and fight. Any man who fights with me shall have his freedom and, if he wishes it; immortality.' "Toscanini once recorded a piece sixty five times. You know what he said when he finished? "It could be better." Think about it." "Understanding the spirit of our institutions to aim at the elevation of man, I am opposed to whatever tends to degrade them." -Abraham Lincoln. "Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying." "Fight for your dreams. Give up on your doubts." -Dane Cook. "Because that's what people do... they leap and hope to God they can fly! Because otherwise, we just drop like a rock... wondering the whole way down..."why in the hell did I jump?" But here I am, falling. And there's only one person that makes me feel like I can fly... That's you." -Hitch. "A best friend doesn't care when you're broke, being a brat, what you weigh, if you don't see them for months, if your house is a mess, about your past, or if your family is filled with crazy people. Your conversations pick up where they left off even if they have been months or years apart. They love you for who you are." "If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love." "Though God hath raised me high, yet this I count the glory of my crown: that I have reigned with your loves.... And though you have had, and may have, many mightier and wiser princes sitting in this seat; yet you never had, nor shall have any that will love you better." -Elizabeth I "The sure characteristic of a sound and strong mind is, to find, in everything, those certain bounds, quos ultra citrave nequit consistere rectum. These boundaries are marked out by a very fine line, which only good sense and attention can discover; it is much too fine for vulgar eyes. In manners, this line is good breeding; beyond it, is troublesome ceremony; short of it, is unbecoming negligence and inattention. In morals, it divides ostentatious Puritanism from criminal relaxation; in religion, superstition from impiety; and, in short, every virtue from its kindred vice or weakness." -Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield. "...I delivered the poor who cried, and the orphan who had no helper. The blessing of the wretched came upon me, and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was like a robe and a turban. I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame. I was a father to the needy, and I championed the cause of the stranger. I broke the fangs of the unrighteous, and made them drop their prey from their teeth." ~Hebrew, Job 29:12-17, Job recounting his faithfulness. "And you would even think that, would only show me how unprepared you are to be on your own. I mean you do know you're a freak? Your deductive powers are a gift from God or chance or a straight shot of sperm or whatever or whoever wrote your life-script. A gift, not earned. You do not know what I know because you have not earned those powers. You're careless with those powers, you flaunt them and you throw them around like a brat with his trust-fund. You haven't had to climb up all the greasy little rungs. You haven't been bored blind at the fundraisers. You haven't done the time and that first marriage to the girl with the right father. You think you can leap over all in a single bound. You haven't had to bribe or charm or threat your way to a seat at that table. You don't know how to assess your competition because you haven't competed. Don't make me your competition." -Robert De Niro, Limitless "A wise man can see more from the bottom of a well than a fool can from a mountain top." "Why dishonor yourself by wronging another? You're better that that." "Too many mind. Mind your sword. Mind the people watching. Mind your enemy. No mind." "Noble until the bitter end." "If you can't laugh at yourself and your crazy antics, you've lost the game." "Look in the mirror and you'll see me. Split a piece of wood and I am there." "I may have lost this battle. But you'll never win the war." "Forgive yourself." "If the world dies, we die." "Plain is the same as it ever was the same; plainly plain, samely same. But then, someone lit the flame. Plain rode away on Lion's mane, where plain met fruits of strangely names. Such wonderful things they did contain, a shot of life to a hungry vein. The captive beast who broke the chain. And there upon the fruited plane is where plain became what plain became, so much more than more than plain. Plain will never be the same." "Love is patient, love is kind. it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. its does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps NO record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with truth. it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres... love never fails...""
