People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within. - Elizabeth Kübler-Ross

A person is really nice if he remains nice after not getting what he wants.

There is a time and season for everything.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to. -- Alfred A. Montapert

Dunno if they're up anywhere, but I have three:

"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few...or the one" - Spock

If history is to change, let it change! If the world is to be destroyed, so be it! If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh!!
-Magus, Chrono Trigger

Right and wrong are not what separate us and our enemies. It's our different standpoints, our perspectives that separate us. Both sides blame one another. There's no good or bad side. Just two sides holding different views. -Squall

The wisdom of the Transformers

• "Do not judge humans too harshly, Autobots. They are only capable of
  acting upon what they understand... and apparently they do not yet
  understand *us*."
  -- Optimus Prime, G1 #15
  
  
• "Don't go looking for heroes to believe in... believe in yourselves."
  -- Roadhandler, G1 #55
  
  
• "Sometimes war forces you to do things you'll hate yourself for as long as
  you live!"
  -- Blaster, G1 #29
  
  
• "The path taken by those granted life cannot be predetermined or
  controlled... but it can change!"
  -- Optimus Prime, G2 #11
  
  
• "You cannot destroy evil. It exists always as a counterforce, a balance
  in nature that is always maintained... no matter how noble the founding
  intention."
  -- the Leige Maximo, G2 #12
  
  
• *I understand. Too late I understand. Prime not weak. Not _his_ neck he
  worried about. It the dozens of necks under his command... the loyal,
  willing soldiers who put trust in him!*
  -- Grimlock, G2 #4
  
  
• "I understand you, Grimlock. I always have. Like Scorponok, you walk the fine line between good and evil, Autobot and Decepticon! Your mind is a
  perpetual battleground, your war a lonely struggle against your own
  nature! Give in to hate and anger and you lose! Part of you dies! But
  every time you find peace, stay the hand that slays, you win! That is why
  you must remember that whatever shape it wears, it is still life. And
  life is the most precious thing of all!"
  -- Hi-Q, #76
  
  
• "See, good and evil, it just way of things. For every yin a yang, for
  every light a dark, everything balancing..."
  -- Grimlock, #76
  
  
• "Maybe we guilty of not seeing big picture, but Decepticons guilty too.
  See too big a picture! Time on Earth help us look down, see what we
  trample on. It life, no matter what size or form. We watch it struggle,
  fight for existence. We helped it then -- why not now? If Decepticons
  not see that their way wrong, it up to us to educate them... the hard
  way!"
  -- Grimlock, G2 #1
  
  
• "Better to fight and die than to live with the knowledge that I ran!"
  -- Jazz, #67
  
  
• "Prime, may I speak... candidly?"
  "With extinction perhaps just around the corner, if ever there was a time
  for candor, it is now."
  "Prime, I see enemies gathering at all sides, forces plotting my downfall,
  my death. I want -- I want -- nnn. I want your help, Prime. Matrix help
  me, but I'm scared. I don't want to die!"
  "Is that all? If it helps, my friend, neither do I."
  -- Scorponok and Optimus, #74

"Judge not lest ye be judged"

"You can forgive, but never forget"

"Reality bites, but you have to bite back."

"You can't just judge a book by its cover; you have to read a few chapters first."

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."

"I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not."

"Sometime's we all fall, but the best thing about falling is learning to get back up and live to see another day."

I'm sorry, but I have to say this...

"Flying monkeys and burnt fishchips and gold fish that go "meow" and drink milk on full moons on Sundays wearing spotted bow-ties and tuxedos and dating beta fish who are lactose intolerant and are related to flying elephants who fly south for the spring."

Here's the problem with "Hot Chick" vampires: I know she's going to suck my soul out through my neck, but I find it hard to care.

It's a cats world. We just open the cans.

What doesn't kill you still requires a co-pay.
