What is your favorite quote of all time!?!

"Tomorrow empty stays
If no man plays it into being
With his motioned way of seeing.
Let your body lead your mind-Blood the guide dog to the blind;
So then practice and rehearse
To find heart-soul's universe,
Knowing that by moving/seeing
Proves for all time: Doing's Being!"

I got the beginning of the poem so I didn't bother typing it out, it basically talks about being alive is always doing something. I don't get what these lines at the end of the poem mean. These lines are an excerpt from Ray Bradbury's "Doing Is Being." 10 points: best answer.

Preacher, Don't Send Me

Preacher, Don't Send me
when I die
to some big ghetto
in the sky
where rats eat cats
of the leopard type
and Sunday brunch
is grits and tripe.

I've known those rats
I've seen them kill
and grits I've had
would make a hill,
or maybe a mountain,
so what I need
from you on Sunday
is a different creed.

Preacher, please don't
promise me
streets of gold
and milk for free.
I stopped all milk
at four years old
and once I'm dead
I won't need gold.

I'd call a place
pure paradise
where families are loyal
and strangers are nice,
where the music is jazz
and the season is fall.
Promise me that
or nothing at all.

Woman Work
I've got the children to tend
The clothes to mend
The floor to mop
The food to shop
Then the chicken to fry
The baby to dry
I got company to feed
The garden to weed
I've got shirts to press
The tots to dress
The can to be cut
I gotta clean up this hut
Then see about the sick
And the cotton to pick.

Shine on me, sunshine
Rain on me, rain
Fall softly, dewdrops
And cool my brow again.

Storm, blow me from here
With your fiercest wind
Let me float across the sky
'Til I can rest again.

Fall gently, snowflakes
Cover me with white
Cold icy kisses and
Let me rest tonight.

Sun, rain, curving sky
Mountain, oceans, leaf and stone
Star shine, moon glow
You're all that I can call my own.

Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral? Is it because we are not the person involved?

Now, we must all fear evil men, but there is another kind of evil which we must fear most; and that is the indifference of GOOD MEN.

What do you think of this quote? Aside from relating it to the Rwandan Genocide, how is it relevant to today? How is it relevant to other problems in the world today? Do you think that those that do not help in times of need and stand around watching should be punished? Other thoughts? Comments? I expect your responses to be well developed and thoughtful.

Okay, on the one hand, you can say it's a prohibition, but on the other hand, the 'first stone' was cast long, long ago, so, sinful or not, anyone who wants to can get stuck in, going by that saying. Looking at it in that way, even when it was first said it was redundant.

Not looking for the history (can find that in wiki) but the actual thing that they claimed was soooooo good about sliced bread.

1 I bet if you reached total enlightenment while drinking beer, it would make beer squirt out your noise.

2 When I die, I would like to go peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather did. Not screaming and yelling like the passenger in his car.

3 Once my friend told me that he had found Jesus. I thought to myself, "WooHoo, we're rich!" It turns out he meant something different.

4 It takes a big man to cry. It takes an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

5 I was taking my little nephew to Disneyland, but i decided to play a mean trick. i pulled up next to an old, burned down warehouse. "Oh no," i said. "Disneyland burned down." He started crying, and i was about to tell him it was all a joke and drive to the real Disneyland, but it was getting kinda late.”

6 To me, it's always a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?," you can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."
