BigGuy Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 No good deed goes unpunished Nature is a mother Friends come and go, but enemies accumulate The other line always moves faster A pipe gives a wise man time to think and a fool something to stick in his mouth In any hierarchy, each individual rises to his own level of incompetence, and then remains there The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but that's the way to bet. There's never time to do it right, but there's always time to do it over A bird in hand is safer than one overhead Celibacy is not hereditary Never play leapfrog with a unicorn If everything seems to be going well, you obviously don't know what is going on In case of doubt, make it sound convincing Never argue with a fool, people might not know the difference BigGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmy77 Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 The road to perdition is paved with good intentions. I'd rather have enemies and stand for something than have eveyrone as my friend and stand for nothing. "Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft." - Pres.

shanemm Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. Thus, though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays. There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare. In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good. So, too, it is better to recapture an army entire than to destroy it, to capture a regiment, a detachment or a company entire than to destroy them. Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting. Therefore the skillful leader subdues the enemy's troops without any fighting; he captures their cities without laying siege to them; he overthrows their kingdom without lengthy operations in the field. The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy. To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself. He wins his battles by making no mistakes. Hence the skillful fighter puts himself into a position which makes defeat impossible, and does not miss the moment for defeating the enemy. that's just a few of the many good sayings from The Art of War by Sun Tzu. another good one is my signiture There are two types of people in the world. Those that find excuses and those that find a way.-Unknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battousai16 Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 i don't know who said this and i forget exactly how it goes (i read it on the back of a tshirt), but: "better people have been in prison and lived in the margins than people who have been enshrined in palaces" "lord, make me an instrument of your peace where there is hatred, let me sow love, where there is injury, pardon where there is doubt, faith where there is despair, hope where there is darkness, light where there is sadness, joy" -a prayer my grandma pounded into my head whenever she baby sat me "'you know what i say to people when i hear they're writing anti-war books?' 'No. what do you say, harrison starr?' 'i say 'why don't you write an anti-glacier book instead?' what he meant, of course, was that there woul always be wars, and that they were as easy to to stop as glaciers. i believe that, too" Kurt Vonnegut "I hear you can kill 200 men and play a mean six string at the same time..."-Six String Samurai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
