You cannot prevent and prepare for war at the same time.
Albert Einstein

Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish.
Albert Einstein

A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.
William Shakespeare

The course of true love never did run smooth.

The evil that men do lives after them;The good is oft interred with their bones.

Three quotes about life that sound pessimistic, but are optimistic all the same :fadein: :

Most people think life sucks, and then you die. Not me. I beg to differ. I think life sucks, then you get cancer, then your dog dies, your wife leaves you, the cancer goes into remission, you get a new dog, you get remarried, you owe ten million dollars in medical bills but you work hard for thirty-five years and you pay it back and then -- one day -- you have a massive stroke, your whole right side is paralyzed, you have to limp along the streets and speak out of the left side of your mouth and drool but you go into rehabilitation and regain the power to walk and the power to talk and then -- one day -- you step off a curb at Sixty-seventh Street, and BANG you get hit by a city bus and then you die. Maybe. -- Denis Leary

The tragedy of life is not that man loses, but that he almost wins. -- Heywood Brown

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: It goes on. -- Robert Frost

She'll be back 8)
(presumably in the new Terminator movie, where there's a female bad guy - I wonder if she would qualify as 'Merthyr Tydfil Bingo Bus', the word used by TANKERx in the Female Attack thread? 😃 )

9. How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

10. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

11. So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

Proverbs 6:9-11

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction... The chain reaction of evil -- hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars -- must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation. (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.)

Peace is not the absence of war; it is a virtue; a state of mind; a disposition for benevolence; confidence; and justice (Spinoza)

I believe in the sun even though it is slow in rising. I believe in you without realizing. I believe in rain though there are no clouds in the sky. I believe in truth even though people lie. I believe in peace though sometimes I am violent. I believe in God even though he is silent. (MemphisX/YEAH IT'S ME...do you like it)
