"It's better to be hated for you are, then to be loved for who you're not." (don't know who it's by). But it's so true. If you're hated for being yourself, then what does it matter if you're being yourself?

Oh geez, I have so many "favorite quotes" I don't know that I can narrow it down to just one. So, I will provide you with a few of my favorites. As for why, if you comtemplate the meaning of these quotes, you will understand that each speaks volumes in just a few words. There is a very powerful message within each of them. Here they are:
Sit in reverie and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind. - Longfellow
Mind is the Master power that moulds and makes,
And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes
The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills,
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills: -
He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass:
Environment is but his looking-glass. - Allen
What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult. - Freud
I know this, at least, from my experience; if a man proceeds confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has envisioned, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours. - Thoreau

Those that desire peace, must prepare for war. Sun Tzo in the art of war. I have done two tours in Iraq with the Army and find that this quote speaks to how timeless violence and war really are.
