BDII Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.

groff Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 read this all a while ago, but figured i'd post up the quotes i wrote down from a book i've been reading (and maybe from this thread too) that remind me of my current rebuild: "the first rule of holes, when you're in one, stop digging" - molly ivins "even the right decision is the wrong decision if made too late" - lee iacocca "the way to succeed is to double your failure rate" - thomas watson, ibm founder "never pay twice for the same mistake"...my mom liked that one a bit too much "the longest distance between two points is a shortcut" - nancy dornan...very true in my instance "success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm" "i'd rather regret the things that i have done than the things that i have not." - lucille ball "its what you learn after you know it all that counts" - john wooden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason." - Ernest Hemmingway "What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?" - Gandhi "Violence is the first refuge of the incompetent." - Issac Asimov "Older men declare war. But its the youth who must fight and die!" - Herbert Hoover "I'm fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in." - George McGovern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CwhillVT Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 "With the Allspark gone, we cannot return life to our planet. And fate has yielded its reward: a new world to call home. We live among its people now in plain sight, but watching over them in secret, waiting, protecting. I have witnessed their capacity for courage, and though we are worlds apart, like us, there's more to them than meets the eye. I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars: we are here, we are waiting." -Optimus Prime True words of wisdom.
