Yes, from Marc Anthony's famous monologue that begins "Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears."

You jackass. the verse (8:68) refers to distribution of spoils of war. Now, anymore FAKE KORANIC VERSES I NEED TO READ?\n\nWho's the one embarrased now?\n\nEDIT:I want to make it clear. This verse is not taken out of the context because IT WAS NEVER IN THE CONTEXT!! It's fictitious.

you didn't give us enough of the quote to know what it's about. What is the entire quotation and what is the context?

Perhaps you are thinking of this quote:\n\n"Massacre, torture, and black despair; / Reading it all in my easy-chair."\n\nThat quotation is from the poem "Theology in Extremis" by Sir Alfred Comyn Lyall (1835-1911).  The poem was first published in 1889.  Hope this helps. :-)

Verse 18:\nHere is wisdom. That is, in what is stated respecting the name and the number of the name of the beast. The idea is, either that there would be need of peculiar sagacity in determining what the "number" of the "beast" or of his "name" was, or that peculiar "wisdom" was shown by the fact that the number could be thus expressed. The language used in the verse would lead the reader to suppose that the attempt to make out the "number" was not absolutely hopeless, but that the number was so far enigmatical as to require much skill in determining its meaning. It may also be implied that, for some reason, there was true "wisdom" in designating the name by this number, either because a more direct and explicit statement might expose him who made it to persecution, and it showed practical wisdom thus to guard against this danger; or because there was "wisdom" or skill shown in the fact that a number could be found which would thus correspond with the name. On either of these suppositions, peculiar wisdom would be required in deciphering its meaning. \n\nLet him that hath understanding. Implying \n\n(a) that it was practicable to "count the number of the name;" and \n\n(b) that it would require uncommon skill to do it. It could not be successfully attempted by all; but still there were those who might do it. This is such language as would be used respecting some difficult matter, but where there was hope that, by diligent application of the mind, and by the exercise of a sound understanding, there would be a prospect of success. \n\nCount the number of the beast. In Rev 13:16, it is "the number of his name." The word here rendered "count"-- qhfisatw--means, properly, to count or reckon with pebbles, or counters; then to reckon, to estimate. The word here means compute; that is, ascertain the exact import of the number, so as to identify the beast. The "number" is that which is immediately specified, "six hundred threescore and six"--666. The phrase "the number of the beast" means, that somehow this number was so connected with the beast, or would so represent its name or character, that the "beast" would be identified by its proper application. The mention in Rev 13:17 of "the name of the beast," and "the number of his name," shows that this "number" was somehow connected with his proper designation, so that by this he would be identified. The plain meaning is, that the number 666 would be so connected with his name, or with that which would properly designate him, that it could be determined who was meant by finding that number in his name or in his proper designation. This is the exercise of the skill or wisdom to which the writer here refers: substantially that which is required in the solution of a riddle or a conundrum. If it should be said here that this is undignified and unworthy of an inspired book, it may be replied \n\n(a) that there might be some important reason why the name or designation should not be more plainly made; \n\n(b) that it was important, nevertheless, that it should be so made that it would be possible to ascertain who was referred to; \n\n(c) that this should be done only in some way which would involve the principle of the enigma--"where a known thing was concealed under obscure language"--Webster's Dic.; \n\n(d) that the use of symbols, emblems, hieroglyphics, and riddles was common in the early periods of the world; and \n\n(e) that it was no uncommon thing in ancient times, as it is in modern, to test the capacity and skill of men by their ability to unfold the meaning of proverbs, riddles, and dark sayings. Compare the riddle of Samson, Jud 14:12, seq. See also Ps 49:4 78:2 Eze 17:2-8 Pr 1:2-6 Da 8:23 It would be a sufficient vindication of the method adopted here if it was certain or probable that a direct and

Are you Donald Rumsfeld?\n\nSeriously, consider this poem...\n\nOzymandias\n\nI met a traveler from an antique land\nWho said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone\nStand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,\nHalf sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,\nAnd wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,\nTell that its sculptor well those passions read,\nWhich yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,\nThe hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed,\nAnd on the pedestal these words appear:\n"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:\nLook upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"\nNothing beside remains. Round the decay\nOf that colossal wreck, boundless and bare\nThe lone and level sands stretch far away.\n\n-Percy Bysshe Shelley\n1792-1822

it has already happend read these verses then click on the links\n\n1: And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems upon its horns and a blasphemous name upon its heads. \n\n2: And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like a bear's, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. \n\n3: One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth followed the beast with wonder. \n\n4: Men worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?" \n\n5: And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months; \n\n6: it opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven. \n\n7: Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation, \n\n8: and all who dwell on earth will worship it, every one whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain. \n\n9: If any one has an ear, let him hear: \n\n10: If any one is to be taken captive, to captivity he goes; if any one slays with the sword, with the sword must he be slain. Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints. \n\n11: Then I saw another beast which rose out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. \n\n12: It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. \n\n13: It works great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in the sight of men;  ( a bomb) \n\n14: and by the signs which it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast, it deceives those who dwell on earth, bidding them make an image for the beast which was wounded by the sword and yet lived; \n\n15: and it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast so that the image of the beast should even speak, and to cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. \n\n16: Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, \n\n17: so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. \n\n18: This calls for wisdom: let him who has understanding reckon the number of the beast, for it is a human number, its number is six hundred and sixty-six. \n\n\n \n\nThe Holocaust \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews_outside_Europe_under_Nazi_occupation\n\nhttp://education.yahoo.com/reference/encyclopedia/entry/WW2

This is written in the Hebrew Talmud It says: "Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib--- not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from the side to be equal, under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved.\n\nGod hears the words of the woman who complains to Muhammad about the cruelty of her husband; God hears her words when she complains directly to him. God listens to everything that is said; he hears all and observes all.

I have not heard of that quote before.\n\nJesus said: Luke 14:27 (NKJV)  \n    And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. \n\n\nMatthew 11:28-30 (NKJV)  \n    Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29] Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." \n\n\nHope that helps.\n\nI've looked at CCLI.com for the lyrics you mentioned...I wasn't able to find anything. Sorry.

We had this read at our wedding. It's from Genisis, chapter 2\n\n 18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." \n\n 19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. \n      But for Adam [h] no suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs [i] and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib [j] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. \n\n 23 The man said, \n       "This is now bone of my bones \n       and flesh of my flesh; \n       she shall be called 'woman, [k] ' \n       for she was taken out of man." \n\n 24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. \n\n \nI think verse 24 is what you're looking for.

There was this monologue:\n"I'm gonna give these guys free will; even though I know every gory detail of what they're going to do with it. How can I not know? I know everything. And those guys I know are going to sin, well, I'm going to tell them NOT to sin! Yes, even though I KNOW they're going to hell, I'm going to tell them NOT to do the things I know they will do anyway! Hey! I didn't say I was going to make them very smart.\n\nAnd if they get me mad I'll send a guy into Yahoo Answers who will ask endless questions about free will. OK, cue the Archangels .."

The original quote was actually "Those who do not learn from the mistakes of history are doomed to repeat them." The statement was made by George Santayana, philosopher, from Reason in Common Sense. \n\nThe quote has been tweaked a bit throughout history, perhaps to give a more modern and personal connection to the quote.
