THE EPIC QUOTES THREAD, MAN

Yeah post em up, dont be shy. Thx 2 blas for the inspiration




I'll start with John Stuart Mill, father of modern western political thought and had one of the highest IQ's ever recorded.

"If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."

"A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

"Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative."

My favorite.

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."

“You have a choice. Live or die. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. To be or not to be.”

I absolutely love this quote by the way.

"I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it."
Mark Twain

and my favorite:

"Some men are alive simply because it is against the law to kill them."
Edward W. Howe

"Yummy yummy yummy I've got love in my tummy and I feel like loving you."

- Homer J. Simpson.

And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." ~ Thomas Jefferson

The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government." ~ Patrick Henry

"Government is not reason; it is not eloquence. It is force. And force, like fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." ~ George Washington

"We, the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow men who pervert the Constitution." ~ Abraham Lincoln

A fondness for power is implanted, in most men, and it is natural to abuse it, when acquired. ~ Alexander Hamilton

I really enjoy this intelligent pithy comment from the smartest man ever:

"Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative."

Aristotle.

I like this statement: "one must always act so as to produce the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people, within reason."
John Stuart Mills, purveyor of the smartest most contradictory nonsense ever.
A minor figure whose primary contribution is Marxist Utilitarism, which is a load of altruistic poot.

odd that appears on Kurt Vonnegut quote page as well...one of my fav smartasses

"If you can do a half-assed job of anything, you're a one-eyed man in a kingdom of the blind."

"We could have saved the Earth but we were too damned cheap."

Dj Assault circa 2003

I'm the one-man army, Ason
I've never been tooken out, I keep MC's lookin out

Enough to make a nigga go cra-a-azy
Energy buildin, takin all types of medicines
Your ass thought you were better than
Ason, I keep planets in orbit
While I be comin with teeth, bitin more shit
Enough to make ya break and shake ya ass
Cause I create, rhymes good as a Tasty Cake, mix
This style, I'm mastered in
Niggas catchin headaches, what? What? You need aspirin?
This type of pain, you couldn't even kill with Midol
Fuck around get sprayed with Lysol
In your face like a can of mace, baby
Is it burnin? Well fuck it, now you're learnin
How, I don't even like your motherfuckin profile
Give me my fuckin shit, CH-CH-BLAOW!
Not seen and heard, no one knows
You forget, niggaz be quiet as kept
Now you know nothin; before you knew a whole fuckin lot
Your ass don't wanna get shot!
A lot of MC's came to my showdown
To watch me put your fuckin ass lo-o-ow down
As you can go, below zero
Without a doubt I've never been tooken out
By a nigga, who couldn't figure
Yo by a nigga, who couldn't figure
Yo by a nigga, who couldn't figure (Brooklyn Zoo)
How to pull a fuckin gun trigger
I said, "Get the fuck outta here!"
Nigga wanna get too close, to the utmost
But I got stacks that'll attack any wack host
Introducin, yo FUCK that nigga's name!
My hip-hop drops on your head like ra-a-ain
And when it rains it pours, cause my rhymes hardcore
That's why I give you more of the raw
Talent that I got will riz-ock the spot
MC's I'll be bur-r-rnin, bur-r-rnin hot
Whoa-hoa-hoa! Let me like slow up with the flow
If I move too quick, oh, you just won't know
I'm homicidal when you enter the target
Nigga get up, act like a pig tryin to hog shit!

If you wanna step to my motherfuckin rep'

Slackin on your mackin 'cause raw's what you lack
You wanna react? Bring it on back...

LOL why don't you actually read all of John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty", then go read the entireity of Marx's Communist Manifesto like I've had to as a political science major. Basically what you just did there is call a cat a dog, but actually worse.

EDIT; A quote from my personal hero D.H. Lawrence, the Nutri-Grain of poetry

“Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot.”

Well, i would agree with much of Liberty, Mills goes on his ridiculous Utilitarism based on HAPPINESS and what works. And his treaty on Liberty does not arise out of Natural rights but utility.

Such is the same idea in Marx. Mills is a favorite of Liberals and Marx is a favorite of Progressives for the same reason.
They are both based in altruism and social engineering.

In fact, Mills completely contradicts On Liberty later on.
I figured you mentioned Mills because you took political science. It shows.
It's the only reason you would mention him, embarrassing as he is as a philosopher.
Especially going on about him like anybody but Leftists still pay attention to him.
And as for your statement that Mills is the Father of Western Political Thought, that is complete bullshit.
He is the Father of Leftist Taffyheads.
Only university Bubbleheads laud Mills.
It seems i read all that stuff decades ago and rejected it all as the nonsense it is without benefit of a Professor.
Don't assume that i have not read it all, including Rousseau, Marx, Hegel, Smith, Locke.

Yeah actually Mill was denounced as a radical for going against the king during his era when his first works came out. Also Mill is a favorite of the libertarians in contemporary politics, not liberals.

Let's just make this about quotes and not you wanting to argue over every little thing pls?

"it is better to be a human dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied"

“I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer, just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals . . . The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom, and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.”

Ronald Reagan

"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."

-Einstein

"I didnt fail 100 times, I successfully discovered 100 ways that didnt work"

-can't recall

"You cant reason with unreasonable people"

-my father

"One of the biggest differences between stupidity and ignorance, is some stupid people know they are stupid"
-me

"Please don't distuuub my friend, he's dead tyad"

"Get to the choppa!!"

- The Governator

Question: Which is worse, ignorance or apathy?
Answer: I dont know and i dont care.

"I must have justice, or I will destroy myself. And not justice in some remote infinite time and space, but here on earth, and that I could see myself. I have believed in it. I want to see it, and if I am dead by then, let me rise again, for if it all happens without me, it will be too unfair. Surely I haven't suffered, simply that I, my crimes and my sufferings, may manure the soil of the future harmony for somebody else. I want to see with my own eyes the hind lie down with the lion and the victim rise up and embrace his murderer. I want to be there when every one suddenly understands what it has all been for. All the religions of the world are built on this longing..."
~The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoevsky

"True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing."
Socrates

Can't go wrong with some Hunter S. Thompson quotes!

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

If you're going to be crazy, you have to get paid for it or else you're going to be locked up.

In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity.

The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

You can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on a drug, especially when its waving a razor sharp hunting knife in your eye.

Enjoy these words of wisdom!

Hunter S. Motherfucking Thompson. What a boss. There was never a more manly author then him besides Ernest Hemingway, and Hemingway wasnt able to make the Hell's Angels his bitches in a few months.

“Look down at me and you see a fool;
look up at me and you see a god;
look straight at me and you see yourself”

-Charles Manson

Weird, they both blew out their brains in a manly display of toughness.

LOL relevance of this quote just skyrocketed by coincidence today. I was just watching an older episode of Frontline where the former slush fund manager of Siemens corp said there's an 11th comandment pertaining to the business world of bribing politicians and lawmen, "Don't get caught".

Here's the series if anyones interested
Link its of no surprise to me as a poli sci major that this happens but it was interesting none-the-less.


@ impala toughness is a philosophical arguement, nothing more and nothing less.

The Argumentalizer wrote:Weird, they both blew out their brains in a manly display of toughness.

Self decapitiation with a chainsaw, now that would have been manly.

Just pulling a trigger, not so much.

Manly, or insane?
Or manly insanity, you decide.

If you're not shootin', you should be loadin'. If you're not loadin', you should be movin', if you're not movin', someone's gonna cut your head off and put it on a stick.

Do something. It may be wrong, but do something.

Don't shoot fast, unless you also shoot good..

Shoot what's available, as long as it's available, until something else becomes available.

You have the rest of your life to solve your problems.. How long you live depends on how well you do it.

The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.

"Not to forgive is to be imprisoned by the past, by old grievances that do not permit life to proceed with new business. Not to forgive is to yield oneself to another's control... to be locked into a sequence of act and response, of outrage and revenge, tit for tat, escalating always. The present is endlessly overwhelmed and devoured by the past. "

- Lance Morrow

I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note--torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.

-- Henry Ward Beecher

Resentment is like a glass of poison that a man drinks; then he sits down and waits for his enemy to die.

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
-William Ernest Henley

DESIDERATA

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

-Max Ehrmann

"Now, I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. Men, all this stuff you’ve heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans traditionally love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, the big league ball player, the toughest boxer. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That’s why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war. Because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.

Now, an Army is a team. It lives, eats, sleeps, fights as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of crap. The bilious bastards who wrote that stuff about individuality for the Saturday Evening Post don’t know anything more about real battle than they do about fornicating.

We have the finest food and equipment, the best spirit and the best men in the world. You know, by God I actually pity those poor bastards we’re going up against. By God, I do. We’re not just going to shoot the bastards, we’re going to cut out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We’re going to murder those lousy Hun bastards by the bushel.

Now, some of you boys, I know, are wondering whether or not you'll chicken out under fire. Don't worry about it. I can assure you that you will all do your duty. The Nazis are the enemy. Wade into them. Spill their blood. Shoot them in the belly. When you put your hand into a bunch of goo that a moment before was your best friend's face, you'll know what to do.

Now there’s another thing I want you to remember. I don’t want to get any messages saying that we are holding our position. We’re not holding anything. Let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we’re not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy. We're going to hold onto him by the nose and we're going to kick him in the ass. We're going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we're gonna go through him like crap through a goose.

There’s one thing that you men will be able to say when you get back home. And you may thank God for it. Thirty years from now when you’re sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee and he asks you what did you do in the great World War II, you won’t have to say, "Well, I shoveled shit in Louisiana."

Alright now, you sons-of-bitches, you know how I feel. Oh, and I will be proud to lead you wonderful guys into battle – anytime, anywhere.

That’s all."

That is hilarious. Especially the part about the finest food - priceless! Gotta <3 American bullshit art. If anything encapsulates american rhetoric (to me anyway) it's Jack Nicholson's Court speech in A Few Good Men as the borderline Col. Jessep. What a spin.
But you gotta hand it to them - THIS is how you get out of trouble. When Jews are in trouble they don't say a thing, leaving you to guesses, further deepening the pit they're in, while Americans just storm into these glorious omnipotent speeches where truth and false, right and wrong dissolve and morph into a sales pitch.

We all know that isn't Patton's real speech but the real speech that inspires it is not much different. Patton believed every word of it and consequently spurred on tens of thousands. They believed it and believed in him. Had the politicians running the war just followed his lead, the war would have ended almost 6 months earlier, saving thousands of lives.
Patton lived in his own mythology but delivered.

Gotta give some credit to the owner of this internet home we've all been using.

Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration,
that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death,
life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.
