Mark
Twain: "Don't go around
saying the world owes you a living. The
world owes you nothing. It was here first."
Chief
Seattle: "The earth does
not belong to man, man belongs to the earth."
Oliver
Wendell Holmes: "The
right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose
begins."
Bill Pullman

Thomas J. Whitmore from the movie Independence Day:
"Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join
others from around the world, and you will be launching the largest
aerial battle in the history of the mankind. Mankind, that word should
have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty
differences anymore. We will be united in our common interest. Perhaps
its fate that today is the fourth of July. You will once again be
fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression or persecution,
but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live, to exist.
And should we win the day, the fourth of July will no longer be known
as an American holiday, but as the day when we declared in one voice,
We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a
fight! We are going to live on. We are going to survive. Today we
celebrate our independence day."
John
Spartan and Edward Friendly,
From the movie Demolition Man:
"I guess you weren't part of the Cockteau plan."
"Greed, deception, abuse of power; that's no plan."
"That's why everybody is down here?"
"You got that right. You see, according to Cockteau's plan, I'm the
enemy because I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of
speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy that could sit in a
greasy spoon and wonder, gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the
jumbo rack of barbecue ribs or the side order of greasy fries? I want
high cholesterol. I would eat bacon and butter and buckets of cheese,
okay? I want to smoke Cuban cigars the size of Cincinnati in the non-
smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green
Jell-O all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why, because I might
suddenly feel the need to, okay? Pal, I've seen the future. Know what
it is? It's a 47 year-old virgin sitting around in his pajamas, sipping
a banana-broccoli shake, singing `I'm the Oscar Meyer weiner.' You live
up top, you live how he wants. Your other choice, come down here and
maybe starve to death."
JRR
Tolkien: "Not all those who
wander are lost."
Mahatma
Gandhi: "Each one has
to find his peace from within.
And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside
circumstances."
Mahatma
Gandhi: "Live simply
that others may simply live"
Dr.
Suess: "Be who you are and
say what you feel because
people who mind don't matter and people who matter don't mind."
Sogyal
Rinpoche ( Tibetan Buddhist ):
"The path, rather than the end, to enlightenment is the goal"
Theodore
Roosevelt: "To
announce that there must be no criticism of the president,
or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not
only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the
American public."
