[Andrewgosu]

I thought I would be great to have a thread dedicated to quotes, aphorisms, statements, because you'll never know when you need one.

I'll, start. When posting yours, wrap them inside [noparse][/noparse] tags.

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

A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain.

To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short.

Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.

No man is happy who does not think himself so.

Complaining is good for you as long as you're not complaining to the person you're complaining about.

This reminds me of one of Aesop's fables. Maybe it's from there?

Didn't realize you were a Naruto fan.

And now, a few of my own:

I can't agree with you. I know if I try my hardest, I'll be rewarded. And I believe that applies to all of us. It doesn't matter who you are; if you work hard, it pays off. I know equivalent exchange is true. If it's childish to believe in it, so be it. I'd rather be considered a child than follow a doctrine of cynicism and chaos. And apathy.

It's impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves.

If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.

In the darkest of times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength.

Nothing is ever completely negative.

A good sword, even if it's got cracks and rust, when it's put into the fire, always revives. No matter how big the crack is, in the core, it always has good metal.

I figure you must have your own reasons. Makes no difference to me. To each his own.

There are no guarantees in the future. That's why TODAY, the time we have now, is important.

The pleasure of a dream is that it's a fantasy. If it happens it was never a dream.

Live well, age well, and if you can, die smiling.
