Quotes...
Feb 21, 2008

Quotes have the power to change our mental state very quickly.

Just like books or movies, quotes can generate strong emotions, inspire, motivate or make us laugh – with the notable difference that we don’t need to invest hours of our time to experience the desired effect.

Quotes have the highest wisdom density you can get in a single sentence.

Moreover, you can use the quote as a shortcut for explaining your own established views to others. Having that easily communicable expression of an idea can be a springboard to start new discussions that wouldn’t happen otherwise.

I would say that a quicker way to know people is by taking a look at the quotes they collect.
Therefore I will drop you a few:

Knowledge Is Knowing That A Tomato Is A Fruit, Wisdom Is Not Putting It In A Fruit Salad.

A honest person is someone you could play checkers with over the phone

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.


Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value.

Truth is what stands the test of experience.

Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population.

Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special person for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.

By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong.

To keep something to help you remember someone would be to admit you could forget them

Knowledge is often mistaken for intelligence. This is like mistaking a cup of milk for a cow.

We are born naked, wet, and hungry. Then things get worse

A major source of conflict in the world is the common misconception that words can be true or false.

If you never fail, you're not trying hard enough.

Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

When you judge others you do not define them you define yourself.

Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.


Forget injury, never forget kindness.

A true friend walks in when the rest of the world walks out.

Respect yourself and others will respect you.

What the superior man seeks is in himself is what the small man seeks is in others.

He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good.

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.

I believe one of the hardest topics to talk about, but one of the most critical ones, is the adversity of death and dying. In order to talk about it you must be able to face your own mortality, to view death as another stage of your life and ap...
