Thread: Influential Statements

I have a few more actually

"When life kicks you in the groins, get up and TEAR the groins off life!"

Basically this states for me, if life hurts you, hurt life. So very moving for me.

"You have your honor, let me die with mine."

this came from The Last Samurai, the scene where Katsumoto commits sepukku. Now, I'm not one to show much emotion, but since I'm a movie nut, I do show it through movies. This scene practically made me ball my eyes out. ESPECIALLY when the Imperial Army bowed to show respect. To me this indicates that people have their own customs, I try to respect that even though I fail at times.

Actually it is from a poem by Horace and was quoted in the movie. Carpe diem is translated as "seize the day" though the more literal translation is "harvest the day".


My own favorites are on my profile page. Among them are:

"If I have befriended my enemy have I not destroyed him"
-Abraham Lincoln

Why keep an enemy when you can make a friend?


"I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating."
-Sophocles

That one speaks for itself I think.


"Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
-George Santayana

I see this happening so much it astonishes me. No, you are not the exception. If everyone else dies/cries/gets hurt/is abused/etc doing it you will be too.


"Those who take offense when offense is not intended are fools, and those who take offense when offense is intended are bigger fools."
-Brigham Young

Oh, wouldn't the world be a better place if people weren't so ready to be offended all the time?

time for a shot in the arm!

another quote i like i just recently rediscovered.

"the opposite of war isnt peace. its creation." from RENT

i think of this as one of those cheschire cat "not everything is as it seems" things.

because war does not beget peace, war begets destruction. and whats the opposite of destruction? creation.
