I think some of these have value.


First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.
   -Epictetus

Never forget what a man says to you when he is angry.
   -Henry Ward Beecher

The firmest friendships have been formed in mutual adversity, as iron is most strongly united by the fiercest flame.
   -Charles Caleb Colton

If you would be a real seeker after truth, you must at least once in your life doubt, as far as possible, all things.
   -Descartes

The truth will only have meaning when questioned by those who seek it.

   -C.S. Lewis

   -Marie Ebner von Eschenbach

Once I, Chuang Tzu, dreamt I was a butterfly and was happy as a butterfly. I was conscious that I was quite pleased with myself, but I did not know that I was Tzu. Suddenly I awoke, and there was I, visibly Tzu. I do not know whether it was Tzu dreaming that he was a butterfly or the butterfly dreaming that he was Tzu. Between Tzu and the butterfly there must be some distinction. [But one may be the other.] This is called the transformation of things.

   -Aristotle

People whose desire is solely for self-realisation never know where they are going. They can't know. In one sense of the word it is, of course, necessary, as the Greek oracle said, to know oneself. That is the first achievement of knowledge. But to recognize that the soul of man is unknowable is the ultimate achievement of Wisdom.
   -Oscar Wilde

But at times I wondered if I had not come a long way only to find that what I really sought was something I had left behind.

Quis ut Deus?

He who breaks a thing to find out what it is, has left the path of wisdom.
   -J.R.R. Tolkien (Gandalf)

All that is gold does not glitter; not all those that wander are lost.
   -J.R.R. Tolkien (Gandalf)

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.
   -J.R.R. Tolkien (Gandalf)

Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
   -J.R.R. Tolkien (Gimli)

He should not vow to walk in the dark, who has not seen the nightfall.
   -J.R.R. Tolkien (Elrond in response to Gimli)

There comes a time when a man must act, knowing the dangers that he may die. There comes a time when a man must fight, knowing he may lose.
   -Captain Harlock

Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for?
   -Robert Browning

ICO made me feel better about my life and the human race in general.
   -Gabe(penny-arcade)

If you ask me, you can't get more throrugh than a dose of Ultima. It's 10 gallons of kickin' ass in a 5 gallon jug.
