The Big ATS Thread of Quotes

Hey everyone. I need some quotes for a project I am working on for my family. Any quotes that are meaningful will work. Such as ancient warriors' quotes, or president's quotes, or national quotes, such as Irish or German.

Thanks for your help, and I can't wait to get started! Thanks!

I'm still a fan of a comment Kano made quite some time ago in a board thread.

I swear since the USSR folded secrecy over scientific improvements has increased... no one to intimidate anymore.

Seacrh google. There are a lot of quote sites organized by subject, or the person making the quote, or other stuff.

Alright will do. Thanks for the tip

My personal favorites are:

"People die every day. The lucky few get to die for what they believe in."- Anon.

"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you..." -Nietzsche

"There were days when you peered into yourself , into the secret places of your heart, and what you saw there made you fair with horror. And, the next day, you didn't know what to make of it. You couldn't interpret the terror of you had glimpsed the day before. Yes, you know what evil costs." - Satre

"He who claims to look upon death without fear, lies." -Rousseau

DE

My favorite is

"98% of the population is asleep. The other 2% are looking around in wonder, abject terror, or both."

Big Sage: "the universe expands because of our thoughts..."

Just one that I like...

"I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it."

Here's for your project : coolsig.com...
You're welcome.

One of my favorite quotes concerns what people should do to help them get a real grip on priorities. This was in a medical periodical published for the public, but I don't remember the doctor's name who wrote it:

"I hate to break the news to all of you people, but I've done the research: EVERYBODY DIES. I say this openly for those of you that always wake up at 5AM to jog & who always eat your veggies will occasionally enjoy sleeping in & having an ice cream cone."

Things work best, for those who make the best, out of the way things work.

Here's one I found, and included on one of my recent topic posts...

Strictly speaking, you only know when you know little. Doubt grows with knowledge.

I've always liked the one in my signature. Also, if you're lookin for more, there's a Quote of the Day panel on my site which changes daily

"There is always someone bigger and badder than you out there"

my dad tells me that a lot. i like it because i hate people who think they are a badass.

This amused me.

When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always lands with the buttered side facing down. I propose to strap buttered toast to the back of a cat. The two will hover, spinning inches above the ground. With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.
