~ Napoleon
I like your Christ; I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
~ Mohandas Gandhi
Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead.
~ Scottish proverb
Be kind; everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
~ Plato - geoman2k, on 10/10/2007, -9/+93Where does "Don't tase me, bro" fit?
- WiseWeasel, on 10/10/2007, -19/+95Personal favorite:
"A conservative is a man who is too cowardly to fight and too fat to run."
~ Elbert Hubbard - rhabd0mancer, on 11/01/2007, -2/+63"-Isms in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself."
~ Ferris Bueller
Good point there, Ferris. - Sueblimely, on 10/10/2007, -1/+56Oscar Wilde - America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.
Not saying I agree with it- not totally anyway :-) - trer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+55... The CIA has overthrown functioning democracies in over twenty countries.
~ John Stockwell, former CIA official - crash331, on 10/10/2007, -4/+48This list can't be taken seriously without any quotes from Jefferson.
"Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have ... The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases."
"I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious."
"The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it."
"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?"
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty."
The man was a God. - onewingedangel9, on 10/10/2007, -3/+37The ink of the scholar is holier than the blood of the martyr.
~ Prophet Muhammad
I wasn't aware he said that. - ButterBuddha, on 10/10/2007, -5/+36"I can't believe I ate the whole thing" - H. Simpson
- aadsfasdf, on 10/10/2007, -1/+32That would be in the 'Seriously, the Most Spectacularly Forced, Vapid and Devoid of Humor Internet Memes' list.
- Zbrah, on 10/10/2007, -1/+31Be kind; everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
~ Plato
This is something I've been realizing(or rather trying to remember) more and more lately...well said Plato. - jron, on 10/10/2007, -1/+31Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.
~ Nazi Hermann Goering - unearth, on 10/10/2007, -0/+30Thanks :-)
oh wait, im not dreamslaughter. - victorycig, on 10/10/2007, -0/+28I love how one is simply cited "usenet."
- DJCult, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26I did not know how to say goodbye. It was harder still, when I refused to say it.
~ Native American saying
I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.
~ Mohandas Gandhi
Plus: They called their website 'vagabox'? - monkeykraft, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26Have this one?
"Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room."
~ Winston Churchill - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+26I like your Christ; I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
~ Mohandas Gandhi
Props, Ghandi. - iFungus, on 10/10/2007, -4/+27Ok stop replying to every quote you see.
- honeymustardn, on 10/10/2007, -2/+22Thanks for these, some of them are extremely powerful. "They made a wasteland and called it peace." I like that one a lot.
- qpn6ph9q, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19A liberal is a conservative who's been arrested. A conservative is a liberal who's been mugged. ~Wendy Kaminer
- GMorgan, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20"If English was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for them Mexicans."
That's my favourite. Highlights the problem perfectly. - vertinox, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
~ Thomas Jefferson
(Page 3)
There are plenty of others. - 405994, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16"I would have made a great pope."
^Richard Nixon - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18Inspiring quotes. I will Digg this story, and continue sitting on my ass anyway.
- anarchytv, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16"Don't tread on me" - short and sweet, fits on a flag, with enough space to squeeze a snake on there too boot!
- soccerman90, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17"The compulsion to do good is an innate American trait. Only North Americans seem to believe that they always should, may, and actually can choose somebody with whom to share their blessings. Ultimately this attitude leads to bombing people into the acceptance of gifts."
Nietzsche - kd1s, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14I did so love this Usenet quote:
"You know your god is man-made when he hates all the same people you do. "
And regarding Usenet:
Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea - massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of mind-boggling amounts of excrement when you least expect it.
-Gene Spafford - bashar129, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14If you ever drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let 'em go, because, man, they're gone.
~Jack Handey
Did anyone else feel that one to be a tad out of place? - GMorgan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13The most interesting thing about that quote is we 'defeated' fascism only to adopt it at home.
- Madak17, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.
~ Noam Chomsky - llamagorama, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12'Humanity without religion is like a serial killer without a chainsaw.' - Eventually, he'll find an axe instead.
- TyPhyter, on 10/10/2007, -6/+17Git yer guns, the liberal folks are gonna let the coloreds vote!
~ Unknown
greates quote evar! - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Hence why anyone against the "war on terror" is called an America hater and is deemed unpatriotic. They are getting their rules straight from the Nazi playbook.
- thcobbs, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Great, just what we need.... ANOTHER religion to die over.
- Neoanarchist, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13Civil disobedience, that’s not our problem. Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem.
~ Howard Zinn
Agreed. - DrewBlood, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12In the context it was given, no.
In the context of hindsight, yes. - str3ama, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12"establishment..establishment, you always know what's best"
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -7/+17not exactly spot on the title, e.g. it includes
The fascist state is the corporate state.
~ Benito Mussolini
interesting quotes yes, anti-establishment? not all. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Hitler was also a vegetarian. Clearly, we must all eat meat, lest we be like Hitler.
- NateDiggle, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith ... we need believing people.
~ Adolf Hitler
Yea, now THAT'S anti-establishment. - Rovient, on 10/10/2007, -5/+15Buried for sounding like a 14 year old american girl by including "serously," in the title. Why didn't you go the whole way and write "Like, seriously,... whatever."
- SiliconRain, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12Howard Zinn FTW
- stillasleep00, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9If god created us in his image we have certainly returned the compliment.
~ Voltaire
I ***** love Voltaire. Most kick-ass name in philosophy, too :) - identifiedlogo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9"they made a parking lot out of a country and called it peace"....
- Bodhinature, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Yes, because Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly and Michael Savage and Glenn Beck and Tucker Carlson and Rush Limbaugh and Dennis Prager and, wow, any other Right Wing pundit, never call anyone names. Ever.
- geminitojanus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10O, Rly?
(couldn't resist). - mexicanman07, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9she was SUPER CEREAL
- Korvaras, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9I think of it's more of an example of what to watch out for.
- itsme92, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8You can't forget
"I never would have agreed to the formulation of the Central Intelligence Agency back in forty-seven, if I had known it would become the American Gestapo."
~ Harry S Truman, 1961 - Herostratos, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Uhm... No, not Nietzsche. Ivan Illich.
