Here are some quotes i like from Sri Bhagvad Gita (Hindu religion)
1. "In battle, in the forest, at the precipice in the mountains, On the dark great sea, in the midst of javelins and arrows, In sleep, in confusion, in the depths of shame, The good deeds a man has done before defend him”
2."There has never been a time when you and I have not existed, nor will there be a time when we will cease to exist. As the same person inhabits the body through childhood, youth, and old age, so too at the time of death he attains another body. The wise are not deluded by these changes.”
3.“Fear not what is not real, never was and never will be. What is real, always was and cannot be destroyed.”
4. "I am the TIME (death) - the great destroyer of the world" - by the way this was quoted by Oppenheimer when he successfully tested the first Atomic bomb.....
Hope it helps!!!

Concerning engineers: "one must be careful of engineers, they are given a sowing machine and end up with an atomic bomb."

"If a friend does good to you, engrave the good thingin the rock. But if a friend does you wrong, right it in the sand so that it will be blown away by the winds of forgivness"
" the good things people say about us are like a cool drink of water; they are sweet and refreshing but last for a little while. the bad things people say are like fire; they leave a burn that heals after a long time."
" I am what I am and that's all that I am. I'm popeye the sailor man"

It's not where you start out, but the decisions you make about where your determined to end up that matter!
Anyone can wish for riches, and most people do, but only a few know that a definite plan, plus a burning desire for wealth, are the only dependable means of accumulating wealth!
There are no limitations to the mind, except those we acknowledge!
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make our World.

You get what you want in this World by making it happen, not waiting for it to come to you!

Quotes out of context can appear totally idiotic, but one of my personal favorites that does not succumb to this is attributed to Abraham Lincoln " It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than open ones mouth and remove all doubt."

Here's one of my favorites,
"Republicans think every day is the 4th of July, Democrats think every day is April 15th"...... Ronald Reagan
.... and a few more....
" If it were not for the reporters, I'd tell you the truth" ..... Chester A Arthur
"Better to die standing than to live on your knees." Spanish proverb
"We're told to reach for the stars but the part about how far it is to fall if you miss is conveniently left out."...... Me
"If you always think like you always thought you'll always get what you've always got".... Me
but better yet go here and then on to the bottom where you can go through the alphabet of authors and get more.
Enjoy!!!

The Lincoln quote is a good one, and so true, and like Lincoln's standing alone, this one stands as well; "The reports of my death were greatly exaggerated." - Mark Twain (aka Samuel Clemens)

One of my all time favorite quote is
"My dreams are worthless, my plans are dust, my goals are impossible. All are of no value unless they are followed by action." by og madino.
Another favorite is "A mind once stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimension" by oliver wendell holmes.
