What quotations best represent your beliefs?

What quotations best represent your beliefs, inspire you, or are useful to consider in every day life ???
Heres a few of mine:


" I have learnt silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind;yet strange, i am ungrateful to these teachers"-Kahlil Gibran

"This above all; to thine own self be true" - William Shakespeare

"time, people,places; they're all speeding up. So to cope with this evolutionary paranoia, strange people are chosen, who through their art can move progress more quickly" - the film 'velvet goldmine'

"Every superior human being will instinctively aspire after a secret citadel where he is set free from the crowd, the many, the majority" - Nietzsche

I have many Lilith but as of late, I would say the one I currently have in my sig. by Robert Kennedy.

My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as
a moral being, with his own happiness as the moral
purpose of his life, with productive achievement as
his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute.

Ayn Rand (in the appendix to 'Atlas Shrugged')

"Seek peace, and never be the aggressor- but if anyone attacks you, we do not teach you to turn the other cheek." -Malcolm X
