One of my favorites is from Morpheus, and it's in my sig. I don't really know why it's so cool...I guess it's because it's from the coolest character :p

However, There are many quotes I like.

 

Another quote i like is by Gandalf the Grey:

 

"So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All you have to decide,is, what to do with the time that is given to you."

 

 

Another one I like is by Picard, talking to admiral Dougherty(who is an idiot)

 

"How many people does it take, Admiral, before it becomes wrong? hmm? A thousand? Ten thousand? A million? How many people does it take?!?!"

My favourite quotes are from "Fight Club":

 

Our fathers were our models for God. If they bailed, what does that tell you about God? You have to be prepared for the possibility that God does not like you.

 

You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else.

 

You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your ****ing khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.

I've got plenty, but unfortunately, I don't know the originators of a lot of these quotes.

 

"A classic is a book which people praise, and don't read.

If a million people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing.

 

When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.

 

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

 

History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.

 

Experience is that marvellous thing that enables you to recognise a mistake when you make it again.

 

Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.

 

Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.

 

After all is said and done, a lot more will be said than done.

The strongest man in the world is the man who stands alone.

 

Despise not any man, and do not spurn anything; for there is no man who has not his hour, nor is there anything that has not its place.

Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.

 

A compromise is the art of dividing a cake in such a way that everyone believes he has the biggest piece.

 

Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.

 

What most people need to learn in life is how to love people and use things instead of using people and loving things.

 

The human brain is like a railroad freight car -- guaranteed to have a certain capacity but often running empty.

WISE WORDS OF BRUCE LEE

 

"Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless--like water.

Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup,

You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle,

You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot.

Now water can *flow* or it can *crash*!

Be water, my friend."

 

"When the opponent expand, I contract,

When he contracts, I expand,

And when there is an opportunity,

I do not hit--it hits all by itself."

 

"As long as we separate this "oneness" into two, we won't achieve realisation."

 

"Not being tense but ready. Not thinking but not dreaming. Not being set but

flexible. Liberation from the uneasy sense of confinement. It is being

wholly and quietly alive, aware and alert, ready for whatever may come."

 

"If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of".

 

"Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do."

 

"A good teacher protects his pupils from his own influence."

 

"True refinement seeks simplicity."

 

"Ideas are the beginning of all achievement."

 

"If you want to do your duty properly,

you should do just a little more than that."

 

"A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as

something to aim at."

 

"One great cause of failure is lack of concentration."
