Post here your favorite quotes, and what they mean....per favore.

Mine are:

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. "
-Sir Edmund Burke

"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little."

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind." - Julius Caesar

"no answer is an answer"

It just makes sense.

1. Silence can be an answer.
2. There is no real answer.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

Sort of the: "There is always a choise."

Choose to or not to say something...

I stumbled on some quotes I enjoyed reading, thought I'd share:



"So behave that the odor of your actions may enhance the general sweetness of the atmosphere, that when we behold or scent a flower, we may not be reminded how inconsistent your deeds are with it; for all odor is but one form of advertisement of a moral quality, and if fair actions had not been performed, the lily would not smell sweet. The foul slime stands for the sloth and vice of man, the decay of humanity; the fragrant flower that springs from it, for the purity and courage which are immortal."

"Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer."

"Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind."

"I would fain keep sober always… I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man; wine is not so noble a liquor… Of all ebriosity, who does not prefer to be intoxicated by the air he breathes?"

-Henry David Thoreau

 

[Bozi]

"There are two things a Highlander likes naked, and one of them is malt whisky."
(Scottish proverb.)

"I just had 19 shots of whiskey, I think that's a record."
(Dylan Thomas's last words.)

"Friendship is like whisky, the older, the better."
(Anon.)

“I'm a simple man. All I want is enough sleep for two normal men, enough whiskey for three, and enough women for four.”

Joel Rosenberg

and my personal; favourite but not sure who it was

"you should never drink whisky without water, and you should never drink water without whisky"

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

"Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes."

I fear the Greeks even when they bring gifts.

- Virgil

 

[Enron]

"Go pound some vadge".

 

[Bozi]

I know we differ on this, but a man needs to have been drunk at least once in his life. And every now and then you have to be tipsy. Alcohol is not all bad. If you've never drunk alcohol in your life, you haven't lived. And this is coming from someone who drinks very little.

I'd go as far as saying you might even want to try out heroin. Unfortunately I could never do so myself, because I tend to get addicted very easily. I especially have this with food. That's why I don't drink much either.

if you had the will, the money, the mental stability you could be a heroin junkie for all i would care.

Whether about doing heroin just once.. maybe when im 65 or something

 

[The Curr]

Guys, I've no experience of any hard drugs but I would highly recommend staying well clear of anything like heroin. The potential damage to your life and the lives of those around you outweighs any advantages to using it.

Deuteronomy 13:6-9: "If anyone says 'let us go and serve other gods' you shall not listen to him, nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him, but you shall surely KILL him; your hand shall be the first against him to put him to death and afterward the hand of all the people."
