Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas. -Marie Curie, physicist- Science is built up of facts, as a house is built of stones; but an accumulation of facts is no more science than a heap of stones is a house. -Jules Henri Poincare, mathematician- Science is a differential equation. Religion is a boundary condition. -Alan Turing, mathematician- Imagination is more important than knowledge. -Albert Einstein, physicist- By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. -Socrates (469 B.C.-399 B.C)- Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens. -J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973)- Quotes Above Compiled From The Daily Cougar" We do not count a man's years until he has nothing else to count -Ralph Waldo Emerson- The same wind snuffs candles yet kindles fires; so, where absence kills a little love, it fans a great one. -Francois De La Rochefoucauld- In all pointed sentences, some degree of accuracy must be sacrificed to conciseness -Dr. Samuel Johnson- A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one would find fault with what he has done. -Cardinal Newman To live is not merely to breathe: it is to act; it is to make use of our organs, senses, faculties-of all those parts of ourselves which give us the feeling of existence -Jean Jacques Rousseau Advertising is the modern substitute for argument; its function is to make the worse appear the better. -George Santayana I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today -William Allen White When you say that you agree to a thing in principle you mean that you have not the slightest intention of carrying it out. -Prince Otto Eduard Leopold von Bismarck Schonhausen Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury. -Francis Quarles It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle it without debate -Joseph Joubert The best way to keep one's word is not to give it -Napeleon Bonaparte Just as you are unconsciously influenced by outside advertisement, announcement, and appeal, so you can vitally influence your life from within by auto-suggestion. The first thing each morning, and the last thing each night, suggest to yourself specific ideas that you wish to embody in your character and personality. Address such suggestions to yourself, silently or aloud, until they are deeply impressed upon your mind. -Grenville Kleiser Never stand begging for that which you have to power to earn -Miguel De Cervantes One of the curious things about censorship is that no one seems to want it for himself. We want censorship to protect someone else-the young, the unstable, the suggestible, the stupid. I have never heard of anyone who wanted a film banned because otherwise he might see it and be harmed. To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must cultivate our personal life; and to cultivate our personal life, we must first set our hearts right. -Confucius Individuals who always insist upon having the last word in an argument should remember that sometimes the last word is "ouch!" A vacation should be just long enough for the boss to miss you, and not long enough for him to discover how well he can get along without you. A man's burden can be made a bridge for his progress. We should direct our actions and energy toward what we are for. By doing so, we automatically let others know what we are against. It is not merely saving time that makes for progress, but how we utilize the time saved. Quotes above curtesy of "Jacob M. Braude: Human Interest Stories" "Study without reflection is a waste of time; reflection without study is dangerous" -Confucius- "A lawyer commits a mistake everytime he argues a case; each case he argues, he unintentionally breaks a rule. Several times after breaking it, the rule disappears forever." -The Rainmaker- "In the consciousness of the truth he has perceived, man now sees everywhere only the awfulness or the absurdity of existence...and loathing seizes him." -Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche- "Madness is something rare in individuals- but in groups, parties, peoples, ages it is a rule." -Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche- "The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently." -Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche- "A person behaves with unintentional nobleness when he has accustomed himself to seek naught from others and always to give to them." -Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche- "The thinker, as likewise the artist, who has put his best self into his works, feels an almost malicious joy when he sees how mind and body are being slowly damaged and destroyed by time, as if from a dark corner he sere spying a thief at his money-chest, knowing all the time that it was empty and his treasures in safety." -Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche- "When anyone thinks much and to good purpose, not only his face but also his body acquires a sage look." -Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche- "When you sit in front of a computer, there is good and evil competing for your mind; ask God to be on your side." -Touched by An Angel- "Whoever created the universe in the beginning must had a good reason for not allowing living things to see their future, preventing humans from going at a speed faster than light, and block them from going back in time. Whatever the reason may be, we must respect it." -Khanh Le Bui- "The world is an inferno full of darkness and evil, and there are only two ways of dealing it. The first is easy and wrong, to accept it and become part of it. The second is harder and right. You fight it and recognize those who aren't evil and help them endure." -Sherherazard- "I don't know if it was wrong doing it; But I know that the reasons for doing it were wrong." -Touched by an Angel- "If all life is a play, where does the audiance sit?" -Erich Backlus- "There are drawings that you can contemplate; There are some that you can stroll through; and then, there are those that you want to stay forever. Those, by far, are the best. -King-Su- "Looking back at my village, I sometimes think how tiny life is." -Me- "Why do people rebuild things they know are going to be destroyed? Why do people cling to life when they know they can't live forever." -Kefka- "I imagine the reason that people hold on to hatred so stubbornly is because if the hate is removed, the pain will set it." -James Baldwin- "If you stop and think about it, each day passed by is a day nearer to your death." -Khanh Le Bui- "Growing old is kinda like the onion rings. When you're eleven, you would think you're an entirely new person, but no. Those times when you cry running toward you mom is still very alive. When you're eleven, you're 10, 9,8,7.... -Eleven- "As to the Prescidency, the two happiest days of my life were those of my entrance upon the office and m surrender of it." -Martin Van Buren- "May God save the country, for it is obvious the people will not." -Millard Fillmore- "Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." -Abraham Lincoln- "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." -Franklin D. Roosevelt- "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." -John F. Kennedy- What is the meaning of life? Such a foolish question, is this. Why must we have meaning for everything? Is it the fact that we are such an inquisitive species, or is it the fact that if no meaning is found for a question such as this, then our lives would be totally pointless? We are taught that if something does not have meaning it is a pointless thing, but this is not true with life. Life is all we know, therefore, we think it is all we have. -Dothan Frost- It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. _btiv1_ GREAT people talk about ideas..... AVERAGE people talk about things..... SMALL people talk about other people....... _imflash2_ "Sometimes the love we are looking for is the one right in front of us - too close for the eyes to see. So close your eyes and let your heart see for itself." _atl X viet_ Live for everyday, because you never know when that day will be your last. Bekah5500 Open your umbrella before you get wet Once uttered, words run faster than horses. No one sits still when the next house burns. He is one inch good, one foot evil. In wealth, many friends, in poverty, not even relatives. Don't go down another's fall. No branch is better than its trunk. Water far off puts no fire at home Even thief takes ten years to learn his trade. Ill-won money never sticks. The loud noice often wins the quarrel. Don't call the doctor after the funeral. The nail that raises its head is hammered down. You can change you clothes, not your character. Smaller the man, bigger the anger. Keep fences even between friends. A dilligent ant undermines the moat. Over-loving turns to over-hating. You can work in dirt and lead a clean life. No medicine cures stupidity. Don't try to wash out blood with blood. Don't judge the tree 'till you see the fruit. Wisdom is one treasure no robber can touch. Don't watch a bonfire in a straw coat. Better cover the fish than chase the cat. You can't see the whole sky through a bamboo tube. Don't scratch your shoe when your foot itches. Honey in his mouth, hate in his heart. ______________________________________________ It is better to be silent and considered a fool than to speak and remove all doubt. -Elbert Hubbard- Your companions are like the buttons on an elevator. They will either take your up or they will take you down. A person's true character is revealed by what he does when no one is watching. Some people complain because God put thorns on roses, while others praise Him for putting roses among thorns. The mighty oak was once a little nut that stood its ground. Most men forget God all day and ask Him to remember them at night. Sorrows looks back. Worry looks around. Faith looks up. Success in marriage is more than finding the right person. It's becoming the right person. The trouble with the guy who talks too fast is that he often says something he hasn't thought of yet. A minute of thought is worth more than an hour of talk. What counts is not the number of hours you put in but what you put into the hours. If you don't want the fruits of sin, stay out of teh devil's orchard. The art of being a good guest is know when to leave. You can easily determine the caliber of a person by the amount of opposition it takes to discourage him.

"Patience is the key to understanding." "Frankly, I don't think there's anything free in this world." "Being stupid is better than being way too stupid, for you will think you're smart." "It takes one minute to have a crush on someone, one hour to like someone, a day to love someone, and forever to forget someone." "There's no better exercise for you heart than reaching down and helping to lift someone up." "When I saw you, I was afraid to meet you. When I met you, I was afraid to know you. When I knew you, I was afraid to like you. When I liked you, I was afraid to love you. When I loved you, I was afraid to lose you. When I lost you, I was scared, I as disappointed, I lost my mind, I was lifeless, I was afraid of dying. Now that I'm dead, I have nothing much to say, except that it's cruel, it's very cruel." "When you hate someone, the reason you hate them is because the part of the person that you hate resembles something you hate about yourself." "Love has no direction, 'cause love has no aim; love can leave you, as fast as she came." "Good things come to those who wait; but good things are gone to those who are late." "I wish there is something I could say or do; I can resist anything but the temptation from you; but I'd rather walk alone than chase you around, I'd rather fall myself than let you drag me on down!" "Government is the only vessel that leaks from the top." "You look good from afar, but far from good." "When you're driving down the road with your girl, don't drive with one hand on wheel and one on the girl. Pull over and put both hands on the girl."

"You ask me who I like, I said now one; What I meant was no one but u." -Azlanxbaybi3x714- "Love starts with a smile, developes with a kiss and ends with a tear!" "Mess With The Best, Die Like The Rest " (Hackers) Go Big or Go Home How many games have you played? How many have you won? The answer to the first can be many? The answer to the latter is none. No one wins at those games. "Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, it is the realization of how much you already have." When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one, which has been opened for us. Dream as if you will live forever. Live like you will die tomorrow "Before you criticize a man make sure you've walked a mile in their shoes. For when he comes after you, you will be a mile ahead of him with his shoes." "Don't drink and drive: you might spill your beer!" "Don't beat a man with glasses: beat him with a bat." "A hard man is a good find... I mean a good man is hard to find." Don't be afraid to tell someone you love them. If you do, they might break your heart... but if you don't, you might break theirs. Don't cry over anyone who won't cry over you. If love isn't a game, why are there so many players? You can only go as far as you push. Actions speak louder than words. Life's short. If you don't look around once in a while you might miss it. Don't frown. You never know who is falling in love with your smile. What do you do when the only person who can make you stop crying is the person who made you cry? Nobody is perfect until you fall in love with them. Everything is okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end. To handle yourself, use your head. To handle others, use your heart. He who loses money, loses much; He, who loses a friend, loses much more; He, who loses faith, loses all. Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, But beautiful old people are works of art. Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself. Yesterday is history Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift, and that is why they call it the present. The toughest thing in business is minding your own. Teamwork is essential. It allows you to blame someone else. A meeting is an event at which minutes are kept and hours are wasted. __________________________________________________________________ 25 things the perfect guy would do 1.know how to make you smile when you are down 2.try to secretly smell your hair, but you alwayz notice 3.stick up for you, but still respect your independence 4.be so wrapped up in everything else, but still have time for you 5.fit his arms firmly around you 6.hint that he wants to kiss you 7.his hands always find yours 8.be cute when he really wants something 9.never run out of new games to play 10.never run out of good jokes 11.never run out of love 12.be funny, but know when to be serious 13.realize he's being funny when he needs to be serious 14.be patient when you take forever to get ready 15.react so cutely when you hit him and it actually hurts 16.smile 17.kiss you 18.try to hide that one stuffed animal when you come over 19.act like Mr. Big 20.apologize for acting like Mr. Big 21.ask you for a pen in class and you know he has one 22.blast the music when he picks up the phone 23.turn it off when he notices that you are on the phone 24.look at you during class and make you get butterflies in your stomach 25.hug you on a bad day and the clouds seem to lift ____________________________________________________________________ This is what The Dalai Lama has to say on the millennium.

Life's a dance you learn as you go, sometimes you lead sometimes you follow. To be prepared for a speech and not be asked to speak is even worse than being asked when unprepared. A political speech pleases all. Those who agree think it over, and those who don't are glad it is over. "I always like speaking to ladies. When I talk to men I know that what I say goes in one ear and out the other. But what I tell ladies goes in both ears and comes out the mouth. -Kent Leavitt- If a thing goes without saying, let it. The more you say, the less people remember. -Francois Fenelon- An after-dinner speech is like a love letter. Ideally, you should begin by not knowing what you are going to say, and end by not knowing what you have said. -Jowitt- Speak when you're angry and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret. It is better to leave your audience before your audience leaves you. Sometimes the difference between a good speaker and a poor speaker is a comfortable nap. "Each of us here," the speaker began, "has a job to do in this hour. Mine is to talk and yours is to listen. My hope is that you will not finish your job before I finish mine." The strength of a speech IS depth, not length. Some people speak from experience. Others-from experience-don't speak. Khanh's Email Quotes Maxims You and Me Next Page
