"The madman is not the man who has lost his reason. The madman is the man who has lost everything except his reason."

"The poet only asks to get his head into the heavens. It is the logician who seeks to get the heavens into his head. And it is his head that splits."

From his book ORTHODOXY

I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends.

... win first then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first then seek to win.

— Sun Tzu

“Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.”

“A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will lose both, and deserve neither”

“Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms (of government) those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny”

In fact I was surprised to see I didn't comment on this thread already but then realized it was posted just shortly after SC primary and I was well hidden under a rock at that point. :)

See to keep it brief...

I've got pages upon pages of my favorite quotes, that I made into visuals in order to help me commit them to memory. Lots of my favorites here: http://s221.photobucket.com/albums/dd93/butterflybreakfast/J...

If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace ~ Thomas Paine

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.
~ George Washington Carver

Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy.
~ Isaac Newton

We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.
~ Bertha Calloway

The book of Proverbs is filled with good quotes.

"It breaks my heart to see stray dogs...I don't believe in using physical force on dogs."

from Frank Rizzo

Brought my kids to "The Lorax" movie yesterday. Pretty good movie from a Ron Paul standpoint. Big Business and Big Government collude to make a false reality, and try to keep anyone from finding out the larger truth.

Anyway, a quote from the Lorax that is good is:

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot;
nothing is going to get better; It's Not!"

---------------

Most of my other favorite quotes are from GK Chesterton; here's a random sampling:

"The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected."

"It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged."

"To be clever enough to get all the money, one must first be stupid enough to want it."

"Birth control means no birth, and no control."

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” Malcom X

**This one represent Ron Paul for me.**
"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."
John Quincy Adams

in an empire of lies!

sent to Ayatollah Santorum:
"The care of every man's soul belongs to himself. But what if he neglect the care of it? Well, what if he neglect the care of his health or his estate, which would more nearly relate to the state. Will the magistrate make a law that he not be poor or sick? Laws provide against injury from others; but not from ourselves. God himself will not save men against their wills." - Thomas Jefferson

I also like these 2:
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government - lest it some to dominate our lives and interets." - Patrick Henry (SCOTUS should be reminded of this when they make their judgements on all those unConstitutional bills Congress passes)

"You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence." Charles Austin Beard (and they didn't even have DHS or NDAA back then)

A few quotes I like from Dr Suess.

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind".

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened".

"I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see".

Dr Suess

"Tell me 2dog F'ing why do you want to know"?

Actually, it was from the movie "silkwood"
(ca. 1983)

.... because we're not all there. LOL

unless you have the courage to lose sight of the other shore. - Unknown-

“People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care”

"An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

"To sin by silence when one should protest make cowards of men"

it's the size of the fight in the dog."

=Mark Twain-

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than fact. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstance, than failures, than success, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, intelligence or skill. It will make or break a company, a church or a home."

"The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is to play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude."

"I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happen to me and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you. You are in charge of your attitude."

-George Eliot

What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?- Unknown

Whatever you are. Be a good one.- Abraham Lincoln

but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling that thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." John Stuart Mill
