War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
-John Stuart Mill
English economist & philosopher (1806 - 1873)
I hold this is my favourite quote because Mill expressed a truth. I use this quote when confrunted with complacent liberals.

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it.
Impossible is not a fact. It is an opinion.
This inspires me like nothign else !! :)

many that stay deserve loss of life. and a few die that deserve existence. are you able to offer it to them? Then be no longer too wanting to deal out loss of life interior the call of justice, fearing on your very own safety. Even the clever won't be able to see all ends. n without music existence could be a mistake. n have you ever observed that genuinely all and sundry using slower than you is an fool, and everyone going speedier than you is a maniac? n I certainly have as plenty authority because of the fact the Pope, I only don't have as lots of people who have self belief it.

A quote from a Peter McWilliams book of poetry written around the edge of the page:
"I don't know if I'm on the edge of living or dying ... clearly I am on the edge!" (I thought that was simply brilliant!)
And a quote from the movie FOOTLOOSE said by Kevin Bacon:
"...... but we danced our asses off !!!" (love that line !)

No hunter of the sky should end his days as prey. Better to die on wing than pinned to the ground.

"your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that it's heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain..."
I damn near cried and everything made that much more sense.

"Research is only worth the profit one reaps from it."
It gave me a totally different and the right perspective towards life, especially the professional life.

We don't have a great war in our generation, or a great depression, but we do, we have a great war of the spirit. We have a great revolution against the culture. The great depression is our lives.
