    I have a few...but my all time favourite it-

    "Be the change you wish to see in the world" Gandhi.

    Also love-


    The man who regards his own life and that of his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unhappy but hardly fit for life." - Mein Weltbild, 1934

    You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.” ~ James D. Miles

    "The world is a dangerous place.... not just because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing" - Albert Einstein

    “He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr

    "It's not who i am underneath, but what i do that defines me" - Bruce Wayne, Batman Begins


    "In the end, we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught."
    -Baba Dioum, 1968

    What's everyone's favourite quote of all time? I think I'd have to say:

    'Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if only one remebers to turn on the light.'
    - Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban.
    My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius. Commander of the Armies of the North. General of the Felix Legions. Loyal servant to the true Emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife – and I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

    Sends a shudder through you doesn't it

    "we must be vigilant that we dont sink into the morass of sectarianism, mixing, pettiness etc. We must not get involved in unprincipled slagging matches etc or into positions that are sectarian, anti-revolutionary, morally damaging that give succour to the enemy & that confuse & divide the working class " (Thomas 'Ta' Power - INLA Guerilla)

    To be fair, almost anything said by Voltaire. :bandit:

    “The secret of being a bore is to tell everything.” - Voltaire

    “If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.” - Voltaire

    “God is a comedian playing to an audience that is too afraid to laugh.” - Voltaire.



    “It is never too late to be what you might have been.” - George Eliot.

    Used to have a t-shirt with it on, it resonated with me so I looked it up. Glad I had it growing up.

    "Don't cook. Don't clean. No man will ever make love to a woman because she waxed the linoleum. "My god! The floor's immaculate. Lie down you hot bitch!""
    - Joan Rivers
    (Original post by angelbones)

    And a more serious one:

    "We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here."
    - Richard Dawkins

    I left in love, in laughter, and in truth and wherever truth, love and laughter abide, I am there in spirit.


    It's all about money, not freedom, ya'll, okay? Nothing to do with ****in' freedom. If you think you're free, try going somewhere without ****ing money, okay?


    Oh, there's a threat to America! Yeah, yeah, yeah … back to that ****ing COPS show. 'Cause I'll tell you who the threat to freedom … no, no, not to freedom. I'll tell you who the threat to the status quo is in this country: it's us. That's why they show you shows like ****ing COPS. So you know that state power will win and we'll bust your house down and we'll ****in' bust you anytime we want. That's the message.


    The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we … kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok … But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.

    This one is quite sad:


    "And I had great, great respect for Him at that time. If Gerry (Adams) had told Me that tomorrow was Sunday when I knew it was Monday I would have thought twice, that maybe it was Sunday, because He said it. Now, if He told Me Today was Friday, even though it was Friday...... I'd call Him a Fcuknig liar, You know".

    Brendan "Darkie" Hughes 1948-2008 R.I.P

    And a Funny one:

    Essentially anything Dumbledore says in Harry Potter.
