Short, Witty Quotes!
« on: May 08, 2006, 01:18 PM »

I was wondering in which forum to make this request. I hope i get lucky here.

I'm making a collection of quotes, spanning all kinds of topics and from any source. It could be moral , philosophical, comical,, , but generally thought-provoking.

I'll start with two I really like. Then you guys can fill up this whole place:

1. "To be loved is to be fortunate,
     to be hated is to have acheived distinction"

2. "Creativity is a way of improving unexisting ways of doing things"

Alright boys and girls. Let's start:

  @ Rare

   

          when there is no Insult, There is no Result.No Insult, No Result.
     
          what you picture, you capture

          The future you picture will feature in your future

          when you love me , you won't rough me

          Perception is Reception!what you perceive, you receive.

          He who does not Think will certainly Sink!

        Once you are at the Top, you'll become the Topic.( illumination today)

         A youth without a Goal is a Goat! (according 2 my coordinator)

         A man without God is a Dog!   

    A  man with Hope will certainly be covered with royal Robe but he who has no hope will be tied with Rope.

         Imagination is a Raw-material, You are the Finished product.

         There is always a Nation in every Imagination. a nation of good or bad, wealth or poverty.

          There is an ANGEL in you , LET IT FLY! if you don't , IT WILL DIE!


         There is a TEMPLE in you!it is called THE TEMPLE OF WISDOM.those who worship therein get it!

         Life is a Functional File.

         , all quotes    by the philosopher,  kingsikaz de great
