Product of the Cosmos Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 dega had a good idea. I'll start with buddha. I love many of his quotes. Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker. Every human being is the author of his own health or disease. He is able who thinks he is able. He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye. I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act. There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting. Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth. We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world. Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaftan Barlast Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 If you cut a face lengthwise, urinate on it, and trample on it with straw sandals, it is said that the skin will come off. This was heard by the priest Gyojaku when he was in Kyoto. It is information to be treasured. -from "Hagakure" by Tsunetomo Yamamoto Yes.. that is certainly useful information. But for what? DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself. Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture. "I suppose outright stupidity and complete lack of taste could also be considered points of view. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Product of the Cosmos Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 Usefull for making people publically afraid of you, as well as hurting someone extremely bad/killing them maybe. Where did you get that from? lol. Confucious says, good to meet girl in park, better to park meat in girl. That's quite a deep and uplifting thought Oerwinde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langky Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I have a couple, not really philosophical all of them but I like them. First my own one which I update once and a while "Life is not a battle between Good and evil, Nature and Industry, The Devout and the Hethan, choas and order and its certainly not an endless debate about the divine, for surely the power and purpose of mortals lies in mortal world not in theirs, and neither is it an effort to prove ourselves to such forces for surely these forces are to complex for us to understand let alone gain favour from. Life I think is about leaving something behind in this beautiful mortal world of ours, leaving footsprints on the roads of time so that fellow travellers who travel the paths when we are long gone can see the way we went and perhaps learn something from our journey." - Lloyd Alexander Markham (aka Langky) (note to self must remember to update that on my signature) "A little nonsense now and then is cherished by the wisest men." - Rhold Dahl, Author "He who has no vision for the future always goes back to the past" - Morgan Tsangerai, leader of Zimbabwean opposition party the MDC* *(Movement for Democratic change) "Hungry People dont stay hungry for long, they hope from fire and smoke as the weak grow strong" - Zack De La Rocha, vocals off Rage Against the Machine "This is the new sound, just like the old sound, just noose wound, over the new ground" - Zack De La Rocha, vocals off Rage Against the Machine "Ain't it funny how the factory doors close, Round the time that the school doors close, round the time that the doors of the jail cells open up to greet you, like the reaper" - Zack De La Rocha, vocals off Rage Against the Machine "The power pendulum swings by the ubilical cord" - Zack De La Rocha, vocals off Rage Against the Machine "Fear is your only god on the radio" - Zack De La Rocha, vocals off Rage Against the Machine "I got no property but YO Im piece of it." - Zack De La Rocha, vocals off Rage Against the Machine "Weapons, not food, not homes, not shoes, not need just feed the war." - Zack De La Rocha, vocals off Rage Against the Machine "I walk to corner, to the rubble that used to be a library, line up to the mind cemetery. What we dont know keeps the contracts alive and moving. They dont gotta burn the books they just remove them." - Zack De La Rocha, vocals off Rage Against the Machine "Since 1516 minds attacked and overseen, now crawl admist the ruins of this empty dream." - Zack De La Rocha, vocals off Rage Against the Machine "Life is a water fall, where one in the river, and one again after the fall." - Daron Malakian and Seaj Tankian, vocals, guitars and keybords off System of a Down "The death of one is a tragedy, the death of a million is just a statistic" - Joseph Stalin If I think of any more I will post.

Ludozee Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 no philosophers, but Terry Prachett sure is funny too... The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. -- (Terry Pratchett, Diggers) "Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time." -- (Terry Pratchett, Hogfather) One of the universal rules of happiness is: always be wary of any helpful item that weighs less than its operating manual. -- (Terry Pratchett, Jingo) "Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life." -- (Terry Pratchett, Jingo) The shortest unit of time in the multiverse is the New York Second, defined as the period of time between the traffic lights turning green and the cab behind you honking. -- (Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies) "Don't put your trust in revolutions. They always come around again. That's why they're called revolutions. People die, and nothing changes." -- (Terry Pratchett, Night Watch) Nature abhors dimensional abnormalities, and seals them neatly away so that they don't upset people. Nature, in fact, abhors a lot of things, including vacuums, ships called the "Marie Celeste", and the chuck keys for electric drills. -- (Terry Pratchett, Pyramids) A marriage is always made up of two people who are prepared to swear that only the other one snores. -- (Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant) People's whole lives *do* pass in front of their eyes before they die. The process is called 'living'. -- (Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent) And another funny one I heard in a bar last week: "Take me drunk, I'm home" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
