I have a couple but for now im too tired, will update when i wake up

 

"We need to pass the torch, and let our children read our messy and sad history by its light. We have all the magic of the digital age to do that with. The human race will probably come to an end some time, and new species may rule over this planet. Earth may not be forever, but we still have the responsibility to leave what traces of life we can. Building the future and keeping the past alive are one and the same thing"

 

-Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

[Zierro]

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

 

 

 

All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.

 

 

 

All I can think of at the moment, but my all time favorites are the ones about happiness.

[baalboy5]

Wasn't there a thread like this before or was it owned by the rollback? :?:

[jemathonical]

Wasn't there a thread like this before or was it owned by the rollback? :?:

 

 

 

Most likely.

 

I wish I knew some really smart, eye opening quote - but sadly I don't.

[Zierro]

Here's a good site for a ton of the greatest quotes: http://www.brainyquote.com/

 

 

 

Ah, I sure do love these. My two cents on it is that if there is another human being on this planet who can think that way, then I can too.

[ThurinEthir]

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

 

 

I have a shirt that says that on it. I don't like it that much though, since I have basically no creativity, but I'm pretty good at logic and stuff.

 

For some reason, I can't think of my favorite quote. It would probably be Confucius, or something out of the Lord of the Rings...Or maybe one of the tech ones in Civ4. :P

 

On iGoogle (Which I rarely use, but whatever), I have a daily Confucius quote thing. I should probably go read those more often, I'm sure some good ones will show up.

 

I suppose Theoden's inspirational death speech before the Rohirrim charge into the Battle of the Pelennor Fields is also one of my favorites. Most of it is in one of my sigs...Not the really crappy one ( #-o ) but the one with Theoden yelling. That version is the one in the book, though I think I messed up. (There's also a bit more, I think)

 

In the movie, it goes...

 

Arise, arise, riders of Theoden! Shield shall be shaken, spear shall be splintered! A sword day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now! Ride now to ruin, and the world's ending! DEAATHHHHH!

 

 

 

[hide=A few more...]

We say nothing in old Entish unless it's worth taking a long time to say.

 

I don't think it's exactly that, but I don't have my copy of The Two Towers with me. I don't speak old Entish, but I usually don't say anything that's not worth saying.

 

That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.

 

I'm usually a pessimistic person, but this quote really means something to me. Amidst all the bad in the world, there is some good.

 

I will not say, "Do not weep, for not all tears are an evil."

 

Death is just another path... One that we all must take.

 

I like the whole conversation he and Pippin have, but that's too long to quote here.

 

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.

 

Mainly the part I bolded. Gandalf is quite wise, eh?

 

It's a dangerous business, going out your door.

 

It is indeed.

 

 

 

Anyways, you need people of intelligence on this sort of... mission... quest... thing.

 

Well, that rules you out, Pip.

 

Amidst all these deep, philosophical quotes, I must have a silly one. So yea. These are probably my favorite quotes from the Lord of the Rings movies. Plenty more out of the books, plenty more from other sources...[/hide]

[Powman3]

I have a good one but I can't remember it, I'm pretty sure it was out of a movie though.

 

 

 

EDIT: Here's a good one.

 

 

 

I am not going to bury my son! My son is going to bury me!

[Giordano]

My favourate always was

 

 

 

Who is the bigger fool? The fool or the fool who followed him?

 

And I do like what Zierro posted with Hellen Keller. :thumbup:

 

 

 

And the following sounds cool...

 

This piece won't fit. When shadow comes and claims our souls, some most rise, the light of old. Names in stone, spirits in legend. Deeds unknown yet never forgotten. These are the Durain. Of honour within and a fear without. Remember them. When in hope you doubt.

 

Cookie to anyone who knows where thats from. ;)

[issy2]

See quote in my sig. It's a more original/interesting way of saying you gotta live life to the full.

 

Also I'm sure everyone knows this one, Theodore Roosevelt;

 

 

 

Theodore Roosevelt - Paris, Sorbonne 1910

 

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.

 

 

 

"Mimicry is the lowest form of wit." This is so true. Sarcasm looks pretty clever when compared with this. Still I guess they're quite similar really.

[Jimmyw3000]

I beleive snipersas has some really nice ones in his sig.

 

 

 

Anyway:

 

 

 

"All animals, are equal, but some are more equal than others" Geroge Orwell, animal farm, :

[dsavi]

Shut your mouth, people will think you're stupid. Open your mouth and leave them with no doubt.

 

 

 

Blessed is the man, who when he has nothing to say, refrains from proving so verbally.

 

 

 

Two quotes, that if lived by, will enhance your forum image.

[n1h0k3r]

"America is just a conspiracy to make you happy"

 

i don't know who said it, but it is true...

[BlueLancer]

"Here at Arpeture Science, we try to give you the best advice we can to help you succeed. For example, if you touch the floor, you will die. Good luck"

[Returned3]

"You don't throw stones at a man who has a machine gun."

 

 

 

"I'm billingual too. I'm bi a lot of things....... Wait, no I'm not."

 

 

 

Lita: No John, you know what screw you!

 

John Cena: I dont have 10 bucks

 

 

 

A few of my favourite wrestling quotes.

[dsavi]

"Here at Arpeture Science, we try to give you the best advice we can to help you succeed. For example, if you touch the floor, you will die. Good luck"

 

I liked the one in your old sig better. Let's see if I can remember it.

 

 

 

 

That's it, I'm done reasoning with you. Starting now, there will be a lot less conversation and a lot more killing.

 

 

 

Then it continued, but I can't remember it. :P

[RSBDavid]

Wasn't there a thread like this before or was it owned by the rollback? :?:

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, I started it..

 

 

 

My favorite quotes:

I just liked Portal for GLaDOS. <3

 

 

 

"You've been wrong about every single thing you've ever done, including this thing. You're not smart. You're not a scientist. You're not a doctor. You're not even a full-time employee. Where did your life go so wrong?"

 

 

 

- GLaDOS

 

 

 

"Now, Darkness, the tables are turned."

 

 

 

I think this one was in a Rick James skit by Dave Chappelle. He was talking to Charlie Murphy.

 

 

 

Not necessarily my favourites.

[Echofish]

An old favourite from Red vs Blue

 

 

 

 

Doc: I joined the army as a conscientious objector.

 

Tucker: A conscien- who?

 

Doc: I'm a pacifist...

 

Caboose: You're a thing that babies suck on..?

 

Tucker: No dude, that's a pedophile.

 

Church: Tucker, I think he means pacifier.

 

Tucker: Oh yeah, right. Man, I was totally thinking of something else.

 

Church: That's real classy, Tucker.

 

 

 

 

Had me laughing for days :lol:

In all honesty, the best quote from that game has been in my sig. :P

[Cup Lion]

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of geniusand a lot of courageto move in the opposite direction." ~E. F. Schumacker

 

 

 

I love simplicity quotes.

 

 

 

EDIT: Nadril, your signature always interests me. I don't know anything about what it is from, though.

[Lenin64]

Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.

 

 

 

If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves.

 

 

 

And if video games count as well

 

 

 

It is better to die for the Emperor than live for yourself

[das1330]

Lenin, you missed Stalin's best quote! -

 

 

 

A single death is a tragedy, but a million deaths is a statistic.

 

 

 

I also have another three good quotes in my signature.

[Range_This11]

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities."

 

 

 

-Dr. Seuss

 

 

 

"Fear can hold you prisoner; Hope can set you free"

 

 

 

-The Shawshank Redemption

-Tom Morello

 

 

 

"The only difference between saints and sinners is that every saint has a past while every sinner has a future"

 

 

 

-Oscar Wilde

 

 

 

"And you, liar, teller of tall tales: you trample all the Lord's commandments underfoot, you murder, steal, commit adultery, and afterward break into tears, beat your breast, take down your guitar and turn the sin into a song. Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song..."
