You only lose energy when life becomes dull in your mind. Your mind gets bored and therefore tired of doing nothing. Get interested in something! Get absolutely enthralled in something! Get out of yourself! Be somebody! Do something. The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have. --Norman Vincent Peale

This quotes means that don't put yourself in a box. Always think BIG.

There are too many quotes which are my favorites.

"Last night i beaten by computer in chess...So now i will play KickBoxing against it."

[Orator]

* The fact is that the average man's love of liberty is nine-tenths imaginary, exactly like his love of sense, justice and truth. He is not actually happy when free; he is uncomfortable, a bit alarmed, and intolerably lonely. Liberty is not a thing for the great masses of men. It is the exclusive possession of a small and disreputable minority, like knowledge, courage and honor. It takes a special sort of man to understand and enjoy liberty — and he is usually an outlaw in democratic societies. H.L. Mencken
o Baltimore Evening Sun (12 February 1923)

* Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -H.L. Mencken
o Ch. 6, "The New Poetry Movement"

When I was sixteen I won a great victory. I felt in that moment that I should live to be one hundred, now I know I shall not see thirty. None of us know our end really, or what hand will guide us there. A King may move a man, a father may claim a son. That man can also move himself. And only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played, or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone. Even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power. When you stand before God, you cannot say "but I was told by others to do thus" or that "virtue was not convenient at the time." This will not suffice. Remember that. -King Baldwin IV (Kingdom of Heaven)

I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of God. I've seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness. What God desires is here [points to Balian's head] and here [points to Balian's heart] and what you decide to do every day will make you a good man...or not. -Hospitaller (Kingdom of Heaven)

Your "best"! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and **** the prom queen. -John Mason (The Rock)

[desp12]

knowing is the step to success, thinking is the first step to failure.
from me

knowing your are the best and not thinking you are best
from me

Not Asimov, Heinlein.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
