LJP07 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 This is one of my quotes: " Why ask a question if you cannot accept the answer " This occurs often when people say " Will you give me a slice of cake? ", then the person replies " No ", then the other goes on a rant about how mean and they get angry as a result at least immature people, d'ya think it's a good quote?

InfiniteNow Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 "Evil is done without effort, naturally, it is the working of fate; good is always the product of an art. " "The pleasure we derive from the representation of the present is due, not only to the beauty it can be clothed in, but also to its essential quality of being the present. " -- Charles Baudelaire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michaelangelica Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 A favourite quote.About the only quote I actually remember.:shrug: Perhaps it should go in "Asian Philosophy is Eloquent":China Man Sorry don't know where it comes from, or even if I remember it correctly-but you get the idea.. Anyway its a good one to remember :) especially when you feel like this:- There is nothing as soft or as gentle as water, but to compel the hard and unyieling it has no equal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfiniteNow Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Sorry don't know where it comes from, or even if I remember it correctly-but you get the idea..Were I to guess, it would be the Tao te Ching... circa chapter 78 :shrug: Tao Te Ching - Lao Tzu - chapter 78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelangelica Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Were I to guess, it would be the Tao te Ching... circa chapter 78 :shrug: Tao Te Ching - Lao Tzu - chapter 78 Thanks perhaps I had a different translation or remember it differently.How do you know it? Tao Te Ching - Lao Tzu - chapter 78 Under heaven nothing is more soft and yielding than water.Yet for attacking the solid and strong, nothing is better;It has no equal.The weak can overcome the strong;The supple can overcome the stiff.Under heaven everyone knows this,Yet no one puts it into practice.Therefore the sage says: He who takes upon himself the humiliation of the people is fit to rule them. He who takes upon himself the country's disasters deserves to be king of the universe.The truth often seems paradoxical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfiniteNow Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 How do you know it?I can thank my cousin/godfather for introducing it to me more than a decade ago, then a friend from high school reminding me of it, and college for helping me explore it's depth. It's just one of those books that I oft refer back to and view with new eyes... :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infamous Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I suffer for those that preach doom and gloom for they must truly be afraid. Roosevelt spoke, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself". I would like to modify this famous saying in the following way: We have only two things to fear, the first being fear itself and the second, those who participate in it's dissemination!...........Infy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
