The Personal Wisdom Thread!!!

I thought it would be a great idea to try out and give people the opportunity for people to give their personal wisdom or "quote from your mind" deal. There is just one rule though in this thread and that you don't copy and paste a thread from some other source and claim it as your own. It's just play cheating.

I'll get the ball rolling by giving you some samples from my twitter quotations page:

"There are no such thing as teachers, just students who know better and still learning."

"There is no such thing as true good or 'good', Just lesser and necessary evils."

"It is fundamentally naive to change a person without knowledge, it is also naive to change a person through force."

"If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, then what does a road paved with bad intentions lead to?"

and finally...

"Sometimes there is truth in insanity and insanity in truth."

Ready... GO!

Kitty cats are cute and cuddly, but they carry concealed claws.

SANITY IS FOR FOOLS AND SIMPLETONS!

Slow down when you're scared. Better chance for survival.

WALL-E is better then Frodo. I have said it.

"There is no good or evil, only differing opinion."

"Actions speak louder than words, but when there are no actions, the words don't even whisper."

"The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference."

"Don't label something as bad just because someone else tells you to think that way, form your own opinion."

"Being a feminist does not mean hating men, battling establishments that have funny puns about breasts, and leading the campaign to ban all porn. Not all men are @ssholes, Hooters has some damn good chow and it's a myth that women don't look at porn themselves. Being a feminist is about being proud to be female, showing the world WHY archaic ideas of female inferiority are stupid, and making sure they never have room to return to our society...and that does not involve hating men."

Two a a day makes one tomorrow

Don't regret what you have done.

Build a time machine.

Never plan for the moment; instead live it.

Live as though nothing is going to happen after you die.

Don't try to take over the world. It's too much work. Instead destroy it!

When attempting to destroy the world, try doing it passively. It's a lot easier. For example, try destroying the world via entropy.

Two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left

Tomorrow only leads to more

Everything is Nothing by Itself-SLS

Oh and Grey when destroying the world remember to bring lots of snacks

Waaaaay Ahead of you

Share! DO WANT.

Who needs time machines when you've got a pan-universal organization on speed dial?

What's their number again? I got a new phone; wiped my contacts list.

Ah, well, it's complicate... involves seven dimensions worth of area coding.

I know, it's just off my contacts list. Cmon man, I don't want to have to call 411.

Business or Residence?

Alright, the number is

975634-76662095-678640192-pi-36817264-490856-epsilon-097-theta-642. But be warned, they don't take frivolous calls lightly. Or non-lethally.

Thanks! Well, I've never had to worry about it; they know me, and plus, if they ever did decide to kill me, I am immortal. No worries.

Riiiiiight. Keep telling yourself that.

Why do I keep getting that exact same response?

...Back to quotes...

"You don't make any money with art because you spend it all on supplies..."

"As a traditional artist, you don't make money until you're dead. As a tattoo artist, you don't stop making money until you're dead."

"No, you did not surprise me. My plans to scream like a little girl when I reached the kitchen were made hours ago. It's pure coincidence you happened to be here at the time."

One cookie to whomever guesses who I'm quoting.

Oh! Different sort of quotes, right. Seems every thread is getting a tad off-track, don'tcha think?

Forget the yellow snow. Don't eat the white snow.
That kids is called an inappropriate joke. But if no one gets it it's ok!
Never take anyone seriously until they explicitly ask you to be serious.

Comfort the disturbed. Disturb the comfortable.

Lighten up. It'll be all over soon enough.

Forget the yellow snow. Don't eat the white snow.
[color=white]That kids is called an inappropriate joke. But if no one gets it it's ok!

Dude...sick...

Hey, I'm the one saying not to eat it. Can't ever trust snow.

PG-13 man....ew!

I'm thinking of a really funny inappropriate joke right now. I'll tell it to you in pm if you like, but I can't post it here.

Anyway...more quotes:

"Well, you guys once thought that the atom was the smallest thing, then you opened it up and this whole mess of crap came out!" ~Phoebe Buffet

"So I says to the guy, I don't care how many hit points you have, you ain't gettin' back up after a hit like that!"

Oh please do. I love inappropriate jokes.

Besides, it's not that inappropriate. Everyone who gets it doesn't require PG-13, and everyone who doesn't would require an explanation to make it dirty. I do think it toes the line though.

I'd say so. Careful with that. Here comes the joke by the way.

The most important question I know, and which is arguably the basis of the last five centuries' civilization: "Why should I believe that?"

"You shall not accept any information, unless you verify it for yourself. I have given you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brain, and you are responsible for using them." -- Qur'an 17:36, Khalifa translation.

"I believe that it is better to tell the truth than to lie. I believe that it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe that it is better to know than be ignorant." - H. L. Mencken

"I think, therefore I am." -- Rene Descartes

"Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed." -- Francis Bacon, Novum Organum

"Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master." -- Pravin Lal

"I plan to live forever, of course, but barring that I'd settle for a couple thousand years. Even five hundred would be pretty nice." -- Nwabudike Morgan

"They that will not be counseled, cannot be helped. If you do not hear reason she will rap you on the knuckles." -- Benjamin Franklin

"Every man has a property in his own person: this no body has any right to but himself. The labour of his body, and the work of his hands, we may say, are properly his." -- John Locke, "The Second Treatise On Civil Government"

"Either God wants to abolish evil, and cannot; or he can, but does not want to. If he wants to, but cannot, he is impotent. If he can, but does not want to, he is wicked. If God can abolish evil, and God really wants to do it, why is there evil in the world?" — Epicurus

"If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time." -- Bertrand Russell
