What Is Your Favorite Short Saying Or Quote?

I've always loved:

"Question Authority" or another version "Always Question Authority"


Men Like Bernie Madoff, Michael Jackson, George Bush or the current Pope believe they are above being questioned. Look what happens


(Side Note-To all the AbFAb fans out there-Remember how Patsy used to angerly say to Saff-" Don't Question Me!"-LOL- I used to use that line on my friends all the time.)

And one that isn't a famous saying, but was a comment from one of my Sensei's: "Everything is basic. Some things are just more basic than others."

“You can't test courage cautiously.”
Annie Dillard

and

“All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story or tell a story about them.”
Isak Dinesen


"The stories we need are the kind that act upon us like a misfortune, that make us suffer like the death of a person we love more than ourselves, that make us feel as though we were on the verge of suicide, or lost in a forest remote from all human habitation--a story should serve as the axe for the frozen sea within us."
Franz Kafka

“It would be hard to say whether the jukebox caused the death of human speech, or whether music came to fill an already widening void. But, unless the music is stopped now, the human race, mumbling, snapping its fingers and twitching its hips, will sink back into an amoebic state where it will take a coagulation of hundreds of teenagers to make up a single unit of vital force, which, once formed, will only live on sedatives, consume itself on the terraces of football stadia, and die.” Quentin Crisp

Luckily he did not live to see Twitter.

Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from.

I have so many, but I'll keep it to just a few of my favourite favourites.

"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; Don't walk behind me, I may not lead; Walk beside me, and just be my friend." -- Albert Camus (and my take on interpersonal relationships)

"I will accept any rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them. If I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do." -- Robert Heinlein, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress

"Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us. But within that inch, we are free." -- 'Valerie' from "V for Vendetta"
(movie adaptation)

"You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace until he has his freedom." -- Malcolm X (on the pacifist approach to the civil rights struggle)

And just about anything uttered by Winston Churchill-- I love me some mothaf***in' Churchill--, and one of his own quotations might offer some insight into why he was so sharp: "It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. Bartlett's Familiar Quotations is an admirable work, and I studied it intently. The quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more."

No man is worth your tears and the one that is, will never make you cry.

Ideas are funny little things, they won't work unless you do

I don't know the secret to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

This is actually the real motivation behind the New Thought/New Age movement. The ability to equally piss off both religious fundamentalist and atheists at the same time.

I like a few quotes because they seem to be true and were given to me by wise people:

''What goes around, comes around.'' This can be both + & - depending on how you live your life.

"Life is too short to sweat the small stuff." My grandpa always says this.

"You never know what's coming for ya." Life/fate/destiny is a mystery...

Fuck my gay ass (said when I would say "Fuck Me" such as when I stub my toe, etc.) - Me? Not sure if I picked it up from somewhere.

I can resist anything but temptation.

The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for.

QUOTE AUTHOR GOES HEREWe succeeded in taking that picture [from deep space], and, if you look at it, you see a dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you know, everyone you love, everyone you've ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines. Every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every hopeful child, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there - on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of the dot on scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner of the dot. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light.

Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity -- in all this vastness -- there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. It is up to us. It's been said that astronomy is a humbling, and I might add, a character-building experience. To my mind, there is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly and compassionately with one another and to preserve and cherish this pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.

"Brandon is just the kind of man," said Willoughby one day, when they were talking of him together, "whom everybody speaks well of and nobody cares about; whom all are delighted to see, and nobody remembers to talk to." - from Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

I was backpacking in Europe, alone, when I first read this. I felt like a Brandon at that moment. I don't feel line one these days, but it's still my favourite quote.

Sagan! <3

From another of Sagan's dearest friends and another of my heroes:

  • I don't pretend we have all the answers. But the questions are certainly worth thinking about..

  • The greatest tragedy in mankind's entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion.

  • The rash assertion that 'God made man in His own image' is ticking like a time bomb at the foundation of many faiths, and as the hierarchy of the universe is disclosed to us, we may have to recognize this chilling truth: if there are any gods whose chief concern is man, they cannot be very important gods.

  • One cannot have superior science and inferior morals. The combination is unstable and self-destroying.

- Sir Arthur C. Clarke
