No matter how powerful one becomes, there is always someone stronger. That's why I'm in a constant pursuit of power, so I can be prepared when an enemy tries to take advantage of me.

All humans do is to go to a place, bountiful of nature, and live there. Then the human multiplies and sucks all the wonders there. They move to the next. There is one thing that works the same way as that: a virus.

Actually full quote was I know this will be difficult for you, Bombshell, but THINK!

I didn't watch The Tick for a long time, so I don't remember in which episode this quote could have been.

It was that episode where Tick was kicked out by that huge Clown and then he had to remember this.

The funniest part for me in that one is when he had a chance to ask his 'mind' a question (and could ask why is he here), and he asked: "How are you doing?" (translated from Romanian, don't know if this was the quote in English) :loll:

Many good ones and couple odd ones:

While true read this line.

Do not think you know. Know that you think.

To exist, is to exist with someone

Use sense first, then listen to authority.

It is always the adventurers who do great things, not the sovereigns of great empires.

Anyone can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person at the right time, and for the right purpose and in the right way - that is not within everyone's power and that is not easy. - Aristotle

All men are by nature equal, made all of the same earth by one Workman; and however we deceive ourselves, as dear unto God is the poor peasant as the mighty prince. - Plato

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. - Plato

People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die. - Plato

Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber. - Plato

It is not the young people that degenerate; they are not spoiled till those of mature age are already sunk into corruption. - Montesquieu

The less men think, the more they talk.- Montesquieu

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.

People here argue about religion interminably, but it appears that they are competing at the same time to see who can be the least devout. - Montesquieu

Religious wars are not caused by the fact that there is more than one religion, but by the spirit of intolerance...the spread of which can only be regarded as the total eclipse of human reason. - Montesquieu

To become truly great, one has to stand with people, not above them.

Luxury ruins republics; poverty, monarchies. - Montesquieu

If we only wanted to be happy, it would be easy; but we want to be happier than other people, and that is almost always difficult, since we think them happier than they are. - Montesquieu


I have always observed that to succeed in the world one should seem a fool, but be wise. - Montesquieu

An empire founded by war has to maintain itself by war. - Montesquieu

With open eyes I've dared it. And do not feel regret. Though I should fail to conquer. True faith is with me yet.

We don't marry the woman we love, we love the woman we marry. -Radhakrishnan

Thruth is worth seeking. Wisdom is worth gaining. Life is a gift. And love thrones all.

Two witches watch two watches, but which witch watches which watch?

You must obey the law, always, not only when they grab you by your special place. - Vladimir Putin

Science can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes. - Pope John Paul II

The future starts today, not tomorrow. - Pope John Paul II

Wars generally do not resolve the problems for which they are fought and therefore... prove ultimately futile. - Pope John Paul II

Technological society has succeeded in multiplying the opportunities for pleasure, but it has great difficulty in generating joy. - Pope Paul VI

Pain makes man think. Thought makes man wise. Wisdom makes life endurable. - John Patrick

The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom. - George S. Patton

The day that you die will be like any other day, only shorter.
