"You know the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit the views. Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering."

            The Doctor, "Dr. Who: The Face of Evil (1977)"

Just remember that whoever is trying to bring you down is already below you. - Roman Atwood

I'm sure others have stated this, but he stated it just the other day. Which is true. Which seems logical, and funnily enough fits in for what has happened to me.

[Scrooge McDuck]

This quote always seemed to stick out to me when it came to inspirational quotes.

“You will stay and help defend our cave against all comers, protect those weaker than yourself and honor our code. Always use the sword to stand for good and right, never do a thing you would be ashamed of, and never let your heart rule your mind ... And never let another creature take this sword from you, not as long as you live. When the time comes, pass it on to another, maybe your own son. You will know instinctively if he is a warrior. If not, hide the sword where only a true warrior who is brave of heart would dare to go and find it. Swear this to me, Martin.”

Brian Jacques - The Legend of Luke

This quote is a big one for me.

"What is, is and it's your resistance to 'what is' that causes your suffering."

"Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I Die, You are forgiven. If I Live, I will kill you." Such is the Rule of Honor." - OMERTA - LAMB OF GOD

Another quote I live by.

[Bütch]

There are two kinds of failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought.

Another big one for me :

"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude."

Maya Angelou

Was reading some Bertrand Russell last night and happened upon the following quote.

"Happiness is none the less true happiness because it must come to an end, nor do thought and love lose their value because they are not everlasting. Many a man was borne himself proudly on the scaffold; surely the same pride should teach us to think truly about man's place in the world. Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cosy indoor warmth of traditional humanising myths, in the end the fresh are brings vigour, and the great spaces have a splendour of their own."

Bolded is the part that I most admired.

It would be awful if the world exploded. It is so wonderfully splendid – from the book Comet in Moominland

The world is pretty awesome even with the bad, and it would be sad if it exploded ): lol

            The Doctor, "Dr. Who: The Face of Evil (1977)"

Doctor Who is such a fantastic mine for good quotes in this sort of category!

One of mine will always be from one of my favourite films, The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring.
Frodo Baggins: "I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf the Grey: "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All you must do is to decide what to do with the time that is given to you".

Beautiful.

One of the best ways to make yourself happy is to make other people happy. One of the best ways to make other people happy is to be happy yourself.

? Gretchen Rubin

One of my friends posted this in a "favorite quotes" thread on another board several years ago, and I decided to steal it.

[Bütch]

Hi Syko Nachoman, I like it, I'm so stealing that for my forum

When you've seen beyond yourself, then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there.

George Harrison

[Bütch]

Sometimes I feel like a stranger in a strange land,
All that I have done in this life hasn't gone as planned.
If You can hear the scream from inside,
Then You should know I am ready to get off of this ride.
Pull me from this ledge,
And lead me to the waters edge.
That is where the water is True,
The Baptism of new life,
Now my journey will end alongside of You.
