What he's trying to say is.. you will _know_ what is good and right and true, you know what it is yourself. You don't know how you will know, but you will know. You just know. Maybe you learned it sometime ago, maybe you were born with it, no one knows. Somehow you will just know. \n\nOr more simply put, you'll know it when you see it. You won't know how you know though.

I tend to agree. (Note the quote says an "element" of narcissism, not that shy people = narcissists).  \nThere is something very egocentric about believing that you and your appearance really matters to other people.\n\nThat doesn't mean that shy people are "bad" or "egotistical", but they are putting way too much emphasis on the impact they think they have on other people.

The premise of the quote is rooted in the belief that first of all there is a 'truth' to be known.  And knowing that truth and being unhappy because of that truth is better then living under false pre-tense and feeling happy.  ie. having a girlfriend who you know is cheating on you and staying with her. Is better than being happy and not knowing that your girlfriend is cheating on you.\n\nI think the quote takes the possibly to the extreme.  The person who created this quote doesn't necessarily believe that the 'truth' means that someone will be unhappy.  Rather that the 'truth' is the most important thing.

A great quote...\n\n"I use the word "breeder" to insult people who wrap\nthemselves in the cloak of heterosexuality in order to show\noff the supremacy of their "life style" over mine or use it\nas a protection against AIDS.  The breeders of this world\nhave seen fit to produce offspring, but deny them them a\nchance to develop a positive self-image by erasing the lives\nof my sisters and brothers from textbooks, school education\nin general, media and so on.  So many brothers and sisters\ndie in vain because the breeders are against safer sex\neducation, which would "promote promiscuity." I say we\nshould be promiscuous, we should enjoy sex and stop\nbreeding.  If our planet is to survive, we need to stop\nprocreating." -- Jari Junikka

Excellent quote to use.  And yes, I agree with it.  As the saying goes, "The apple rots from within."

Full quote:\n\n"If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."\n\nFear is a very powerful weapon.  When the people of a community or nation are fearful of an outside force threatening their lives they will give up freedoms for the assurance of safety.  It's always easier to incite fear when the enemy is "not one of us."\n\nAs an example....\n\nSome say this is what George W. Bush did over four years ago after September 11, 2001.  The United States was in shock.  An enemy had entered our country, done great damage to property and killed thousands of people.  Nothing of this magnitude had happened like this since Pearl Harbor.\n\nIn an attempt to cut off any future terrorist attacks the President proposed and Congress passed new laws that made sweeping changes in privacy laws allowing oversight and intrusion hitherto not seen before in the U.S.\n\nGenerally a majority of the American public has supported these limitations.  The danger lies, as Madison pointed out, in making sure that these changes are kept in check.

This is a slight modification of a quote by Clemenceau (not Churchill, to whom it has been wrongly attributed).  It is a catchy phrase, of course, and that explains its popularity, but as for its substance, it isn't ungenerous to say that the quote is both heartless and brainless itself.  It is heartless in that it is offensive to both young people who oppose socialism and to old ones who redeem it.  It is brainless in that, in its simplicity, it contends that a significant contingent of renowned scientists (who are indeed disproportionately liberal and somewhat socialst) are brainless.  (To claim that Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein were brainless is indeed brainless in itself.)

If you wish to wander into the realm of existentialism, I'd suggest hitting your thumb with a hammer.\n\nPain is the greatest qualifier of life.\n\nBTW: liked the words.

I like # 3 - that quote will mean more and more to you as you get older.\n\nI particularly like this one:\n\nYesterday is history, tomorrow's a mystery, today is a gift.  That's why we call it the present.

The quote is that "The unexamined life is not worth living". What he meant was that we should all question our lives and things in it. If you do not question things, you just go along with everybody else..nothing advances. If you do not question things..there would be no advances in science or anything else......if someone didn't ask how you could improve  writing your report, and figure it all out, we'd still be writing on caves. If you stop asking how, or why etc. you remain the same..nothing changes or gets better...

To me the saying is about empathy. If you were to percive suffering from anothers perspective, you would be discouraged from making that person suffer.\nBut then does that mean that we are all selfish creatures, only not doing bad for fear that we might one day be on the recieving end? I don't think so; I genuiely think we are onditioned aginst causing others pain. Of course there are exceptions to this.\nThe biggest problem facing the idea today is the fact that we are encouraged to divide into "them" and "us". People who do not share the same country/race/religion as us are portrayed as less human and therfore less deserving of this empathy. With these people we are encouraged not to care about their well being.\n\nPerhaps the phrase should be "Treat ALL others.."\n\nSorry I couldnt think of an example ;)

Sounds like it is from "War of the Worlds". Maybe the following:\n\n"Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us."

WE OPENED PANDORA'S BOX\n\nIrreversable it has become... When we allowed decisions be made, By our scum...\nCalm down it will not, until the fog of theft is gone...\n\nSilent be not, for the glory of our nation is at stake...\nWe let the fools inherit, that which our ancestors helped create...\n\nAmerica... rise to build the peace...\nLiberty and Freedom for all... and injustice you must cease!!!\n\nAmen.

I don't know who said it, or the actual quote but it went along the lines of, "If you have 1 true friend, then you have succeeded in life".  I have plenty of true friends and I already feel like my life has mattered (whether for the better or worst I cannot say).  I remember a discussion we had in a class once in which a teacher said, no matter what we do, we will not matter in the large scale of things.  I disagreed of course and stated of course we change history.  For example, what if the man who invented the atom bomb were never born?  What if the people who researched penicillian had different paths and what if certain events, such as a teacher telling a student to get back in line and the student following through never occured?  Had that teacher not been there, the students' world could be very different.\n\nSo, I think everyone's life does matter in some way shape or form, unless you have no interaction with anyone at anytime your life does matter.  And even if you don't, in some way you are still a part of the earth, even when you die and become the ground again.
