And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out."

But you'd probably remembered by now.

someone else said this quote(eisenhower i think) and it kinda just stuck to me

"If there is evil in this world, it lurks in the hearts of man."

-"When does a man die? when he's shot in the heart? No...When he's ravaged by a disease, No...When he eats a soup made out of poisonous mushrooms?, No...A man dies when he's forgotten!<----from One piece
*I like this quote because if you think about it no one truly dies as long as they're remembered.

-"Only an idiot fights whe he knows he cant win"<---Sun Tzu
*Its my personal favorite quote, it has a great impact in my life cause it reminds me that I shouldn't aim for somehing that I can't obtain.

-"We humans are selfish creatures by nature, we walk on earth trying to grab little pieces of opportunities, and only because we have a conscious we can aim for something that's not pure evil"
*The beauty of this quote is that is true, we are after all selfish creatures by nature, always looking for a way to be more happy than before, without considering the consequences of our actions towards others.

-"The man who suffers and the mind which creates"<---Robert Lowell
*A really good quote, it always surprises me when I read it cause you can see lots of examples in history of men that had awful experiences but they still created amazing things.

I will act in a certain way,
I'll control what I can,

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. Its a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.

But it ain't about how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward... how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!

Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not point fingers and blame other people saying your not where you want to be because of him or her or anyone! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!" - Rocky III

When I first saw this in the movie, it really made an impact on me.

"If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it. Anything you want to: Do it. Want to change the world? There's nothing to it." -Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka

Pretty much anything from Machiavelli's "The Prince" and Sun Tzu's "The Art of War"

"If we are not able to ask skeptical questions... to be skeptical of those in authority, then we are up for grabs." - Carl Sagan

"A moment in the mind is worth nine in the fire" Kilvin from The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

"Any time is a time for thinking of women, and when they thrust the blade that takes my life I shall be thinking of women, or of a woman. If not, then death has come too late." ~Mathurin Kerbouchard from The Walking Drum

"Money can be lost or stolen, health and strength may fail, but what you have committed to your mind is yours forever." - I'm not sure but I think that one is also Kerbouchard

"Each age is an age that is passing, and cities, my friend, are transitory things. Each is born from the dust; each matures, grows older, then it fades and dies. A passing traveler looks at a mound of sand and broken stones and asks 'What was here?' and his answer is only an echo or a wind drifting sand." - The Walking Drum

"Lie to a liar, for lies are his coin; steal from a thief, for that is easy; lay a trap for the trickster and catch him at the first attempt, but beware of an honest man." The Walking Drum

the list goes on but I don't have the time to add to it now, maybe later

"I'm the Black McGuyver. BlaGuyver!"

I used to know this thug named schmeed. one time i was watching him shake down some kid who owed him money. the kid said something i didn't hear, then schmeed said, "Hey! it's either fuck me or fuck you, and it aint fuck me!".

"I wish. I wish more than anything. But I can't imagine you with all your complexity, all you perfection, all your imperfection. Look at you. You are just a shade of my real wife. You're the best I can do; but I'm sorry, you are just not good enough."

"The world's a playground. You know that when you're a kid, but somewhere along the way everyone forgets it."

Be formless, shapeless, like water. Now if you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put water into a teapot, it BECOMES the teapot. Now water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
-Bruce Lee

"Too few characters out there, flying around like that... Courageous, self-sacrificing people. Setting examples for all of us. Everybody loves a hero. People line up for them, cheer them, scream their names. And years later, they'll tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who taught them how to hold on a second longer. I believe there's a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams."
- Spider-Man 2

This is an adaptation from Sun Tsu:

"Water shapes its course according to the nature of the ground over which it flows; the soldier works out his victory in relation to the foe whom he is facing."
