Lincoln is describing a way to defeat your enemies.  By 'making friends' or attempting at being nice or civil with your enemies that will make them even more angry and defeat the purpose of them being mean to you. It's kind of like having a little brother. He will tease you to make you mad and respond to him. But if you act nicely back, or ignore him, then he has no point to keep bugging you if you won't ever react in the way he wants you to. The same thing can be said for Lincoln's quote.

The red knight is saying that the blonde is the knight of life. Thus, according to him, the blonde always speaks the truth. Well, the blonde himself states that he is the dungeon. Can the blonde be two persons at one time? From this we know that the red knight is lying and the blonde is lying as well. Therefore, the dungeon, who sometimes speaks the truth and sometimes lies, is in this instance, lying.\n\nNext, the brunnett answers that the blond is the Knight of Death. Thus, according to him, the blond is lying when he says that he is a Dungeon. This makes sense because if he is lying about saying he is the Dungeon, and as we know from above that he is not the Knight of Life since he is not speaking the truth, he has only one option -- Knight of Death.\n\nThis would mean that the blonde always lies. Also, it would mean that the brunette was telling the truth. The red, since he is the only remaining one, can be offered the characteristic of lying sometimes and speaking the truth sometimes.\n\nTherefore: Blonde -- Knight of Death\n           Brunnette -- Knight of Life\n           Red Hair -- Dungeon

Ok, I'm stumped if this is some sort of word play I cannot figure it out - would like to know the solution.\n\nIf this is a plea for help, contact your city or county for advice on child placement please. This is simply not a safe place for child placement.\n\nAnd if this is a joke - I'm concerned... wouldn't this fit better in /humor/tasteless? where it would fit into the, 'take my wife... Please!'.\n\nPeace,\n\n-dh

I think the actual quote is "Stupid is as Stupid does."\n\nOnce you put the "as" in there it is much more obvious that the phrase means our stupidity is defined by our actions.

That's a very astute quotation. It says that by keeping someone with a lie, you will hurt them more than if you were to lose them by setting them free with the truth.

Well, go ahead and make her mad, if that's what it takes to get the point across!! She sounds like she has a lot of growing up to do, if she changes her mind about a lifelong belief, just for overhearing a conversation about your belief.  I think that what your friend is going through is finding herself and establishing her own truths through experience. I think we all go through that at some point in life. But, I feel you should talk to her at least to let her know to be her own woman and not just another gulliable follower. Just my opinion.\n-Reggie

It seems that when asked what he meant by this remark, Einstein replied ‘Nature hides her secret because of her essential loftiness, but not by means of ruse’. Whenever i've seen an Einstein quote refering to god or religion, he appears to be instead refering to the universe. I'd say that by this quote he was voicing his displeasure at quantum mechanics and it's implications that there are certain things that are simply unknowable (such as whether schroedingers cat is dead or alive, as indicated by the poster above).

1) This was Socrates, and he made this statement at his trial.  (Read the "Apology" by Plato.  Or take my word for it.)  What he meant was something like, "If we just go through life never asking why, what's the point?"  He believed that to truly find "the good life" we need to be willing to ask hard questions and come to know the truth.\n\n2)  This is another statement that leads toward the same basic idea.  The speaker (I can't remember who said this one off the top of my head) is suggesting that we cannot be successful until we come to know who we really are--why we do what we do.  So examining one's self is the first step that we must take if we are to live successful lives.

to understand the quote you might need to see the whole thing:\n"[F]reedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter much. That would be a mere shadow of freedom. The test of its substance is the right to differ as to things that touch the heart of the existing order."\n\nI think it means that you have the freedom to be different about things that matter to you the most or something I really don't know haha but there's the whole quote maybe that will help

The lyric dosen't hold tight to an actual meaning,but a qeust for an understanding of the  medium of the heart  which directs our wants and desiers for acceptance and love.  'fore sometimes we fall into illussions that society's dictate is all we have,yet reality is that love is love,thus my recomendation would be follow your own..\n 'lest thee fall into the lower mind of desirer.\n  Truth is love is................\n you don't need to follow someone elses lic's to find an answer..................................
