What is the most powerful quote you have ever heard?

Question

I heard a quote the other and it almost had me ready to join the marines until I remembered that I can't.
" We sleep comfortably in our beds at night because there are rough men ready to do violence to those who would harm us."

" For you when you die there will be no soft words spoken nor medals given, for you there will only be oblivion."

And of course, " If you are not going to stand behind our troops then please, please feel free to stand in front of them."

Answer 1

Hey. No, he's not creeping me out... he's very kind to me. It's just that I don't see him often... we only work together once every three weeks or so. We don't know each other very well... the cafe is usually very busy so we rarely have time to stop and talk. We've only had two real conversations (about school).. and both times, he's been the one who initiated it (I'm kind of shy).

I just found it to be a little odd that he offered to drive me home... even though we not exactly close friends. I said no when he asked because I didn't want to bother him... which I really regret now since we could have used the however many minutes that we were in the car together to talk.

Answer 2

“Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right.” "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies" "Get busy living, or get busy dying." “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Live well. It is the greatest revenge. “If you only do what you know you can do- you never do very much.” A man who won't die for something is not fit to live. If you're not enjoying the journey, you probably won't enjoy the destination." ‎"When you live on monster island, someone's breathing fire everyday." You have seen how a man was made a slave; you shall see how a slave was made a man. I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil Brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want something badly enough. They are there to keep out the other people.
