ooh..good one..
only the wise (and timid?)think things through
(and since wisdom and intillectualism are often bound, the wise can often overthink..which isn't so wise sometimes)

lets' see, your quote brought this one to mind
'Veni, Vedi, Veci' (I came, I saw, I conquered)
-supposedly Julius Ceasar was known for saying this
There needs to be a warrior smiley..one with a feirce face and one of those viking like helmets with horns on it head.

"What man is a man who does not make the world better?"

Saw it in an Albertson's bathroom wall.

Cool, yeah that's a familiar one.

I think this thread is either gonna fizzle or explode, one or the other...

Here's a quote
Nobutada: [after Algren is defeated in fencing pratice] Please forgive; too many mind.
Algren: [puzzeled] "Too many mind?"
Nobutada: Hai, mind the sword, mind the people watch, mind enemy - -too many mind.
[seriously]
Nobutada: No mind.
Algren: [pretending getting it] No mind.

In chalk I wrote on a bathroom wall once:
the lock is written in chalk.


Then by the next day someone had erased it.

The Last Samurai is a killer movie, even if it is super silly.

Azazel
Lend me your wings of twelve
I shall fly into the storm
I, son of fire, in anger become
The lightning bolts that strike the earth

The one in my signature. It's true, and unfortunately relevant for me most of my life. I guess that's why I circulate it. Not the most glamorous of sources, but hey . . .

I can't remember who wrote these two, it wasn't the same person, and these are paraphrased because I can't remember exactly how they go, but I like them.

Men gain more wisdom from failure than they do from success.

Damn, I can't remember the other one now.
I'll come back later when I remember it.




Hey, Adam! I have a couple of cool alcohol quotes:
Winston churhill said something along th elines of: "I have taken more from drinking than it's taken from me"

Another good one from an unknown source is:
"If you can lay on the ground without holding on, you're not drunk enough yet"
