"Do or do not. There is no try."

 

"Get busy living or get busy dying."

 

"..All the king's men cannot put together.."

(w00t) I forgot my all time favourite board quote. According to Onur the Courageous George bush (jnr) once said

 

"Those who do not s*** our balls are teh ones who we shall slay"

 

Which I thought was perhaps the finest piece of statesmanlike rhetoric ever conceived.

 

I liked Bushies stable iran... I mean iraq speach...

 

But My favorite is Einstiens human stupidity.

 

The two in my sig also come to mind.

 

and Finially, "If your not with me, your against me" Jesus... (dig through my old posts... it's somewhere in there)

The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself. ~Benjamin Franklin

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."

So deeply loving yourself will give you both courage and strength? not bad...

I wish you could read Danish Meta.. there is an interesting book where (amongst others) Kirkegaard, Satre and Camus are compared, and their view points are discussed in order to find a modern interpretation of responsibility. both to the immediate self and others.. a very long essay that looks at subjects ranging from metaphysicality to geopolitical patterns. Kirkegaards studies of the bible are used extensively.

I can wait for you to translate it.

 

I was thinking of doing a philosophy course at Bologna, but I need to check that they conduct lectures in English ... it's hard enough without having to transliterate from Italian. :D

Is it that new guy with the cracy ideas on the structure of reality (well aren't they all, but you know what I mean) .. I've been reading some Heidegger myself revently - he's quite interesting, but very hard to read for a common guy like me! very technical! ^_^

Haven't read Heidegger yet. I am due for Hobbes, next, after I finish The Glass Bead Game.

Almost everything I know about philosophers comes from the philosophers drinking song.

... And the German-Greek international final?

Live at the Hollywood Bowl

We shall not cease from exploration

And the end of all our exploring

Will be to arrive where we started

And know the place for the first time.

 

T.S Elliot

Q: Is hockey hard?

 

"I don't know, you tell me. We need to have the strength and power of a football player, the stamina of a marathon runner, and the concentraion of a brain surgeon. But we need to put all this together while moving at high speeds on a cold and slippery surface while 5 other guys use clubs to try and kill us, oh yeah did I mention that this whole time we're standing on blades 1/8 of an inch thick? Is ice hockey hard? I don't know, you tell me. Next question."

-Brendan Shanahan

"Que portum petat, nullus suus ventus est."

- Seneca(I think)

= If you don't know to what port you are sailing, no wind is favorable.

 

I think it's fitting for a lot of things.

 

"Are you a believer? - well I'm a deceiver

But I lied when I said that honesty was dead

I really believe all the things I say to you

It's just that none of them are true"

-NoMeansNo

 

Just like the above one.

"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee..."

(John Donne, Meditation XVII)

 

"I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member."

(Groucho Marx)

 

"All men are fools, and what makes them so is having beauty like what I have got."

(Glenda Jackson on Morecambe and Wise.)

"Que portum petat, nullus suus ventus est."

- Seneca(I think)

= If you don't know to what port you are sailing, no wind is favorable.

I don't know why, but that was the first quote I thought of when entering this thread.

We would often be sorry if our wishes were gratified.

Her: You wouldn't say no to a lady would you?

Groucho Marx: I don't know why not, they always say no to me.
