Quotes that Impact You. (Explain Why)

That's like a weird way to say that qoute never heard it like that. the original is "Give a Man a Fish, Feed Him For a Day. Teach a Man to Fish, Feed Him For a Lifetime" -Lao Tzu [If thats how you even spell his name?]

Oh and while I'm at it I only see qoutes can I get the reasons they effect you so much?

My two favorite ones are:

"give a man a fire he is warm for a day, set a man on fire he'll be warm for life."

From the Terry Pratchet book "Guards! Guards!", obviously not a deep or spiritual quote unless your creative.
The other is:

"There will always be friction between those who seek truth and those who think they have found it."

From the Terry Pratchet book "Feet of Clay". Which personally I find is true.

"I'm pregnant."
~Any girl who is not your wife saying this automatically = Fail.

"Women like silent men. They think they're listening."
~Marcel Achard

"Every girl should use what Mother Nature gave her before Father Time takes it away."
~Laurence J. Peter

"When a man talks dirty to a woman, it's sexual harassment. When a woman talks dirty to a man, it's $3.95 a minute."
~Author Unknown

"Here we are again, (Afroman), at fucking Baseball practice. They say practice makes perfect but noone is fucking perfect! So why the fuck am I practicing?! I can be home watchin a porno or tryin to bang a girl instead of this pointless shit! I know how to hit a ball I know how to throw and I know how to catch... uhh why practice? You know though practicing safe sex never gets boring though. I wanna practice that as much as possible!!"
~My Friend

"Women get the last word in every argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument. So, (Afroman), just shut the fuck up and nod whenever you get in a fight."
~Dad

"Love or money. There is no such thing as both. Rare cases there are but many times the love you think you are experiencing when you have a ton of money is false."
~Me

I put ( ) around Afroman cause he said my real name.

Cant stop laughing after I read your qoutes

Just think they are more and less true =)

"Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories."
- Sun Tzu

"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."
- J. R. R. Tolkien

"It's a job that's never started that takes the longest to finish."

- J. R. R. Tolkien

"Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead."
- Benjamin Franklin

"A life lived, is a life that lives for others."

-my own personal quote.

alot of these submissions cut to the core of me in more ways then one. some were deep rooted and philisophical; some just plain silly =p but i think theyve all impacted me in there own way. i espicially like shaggyjebus' submission:

"Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is."
Jim Morrison

i understood and lived by this concept for a while, but i never really thought of just why people try to change you: because they think its right. this one hit home, thanks jebus. what cant you do?

i guess the ones that have impacted me the most would have to be:

'i have a rendevouz with death.' - alan seeger

its a poem concerning the near palpable grasp of death the men in wars of past have felt. to have a purpose, a reason to die... ive yet to understand that.

'there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.' william shakespeare

it keeps the idea in mind that all is as it is because of morals and a conscience few but humans own.

'some muthafuckas are always trying to ice skate uphill.' - blade/wesley snipes

i dont know how to explain this one, it is as it is. makes sense to me, can any of you kinda understand it?



i guess because of how most of them are easily associated with the humility of life or something pertaining to it. theyre kind of like codes of conduct to live by: a strong belief summed up in a sentence or paragraph.



the easiest to remember is:

"War does not determine who is right - only who is left"
-Burtrand Russell

"Good artists copy. Great artists steal." - Steve Jobs (And Picasso or something)

"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooowned! Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooowned! Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooowned!" - Some douche bag on C.O.D. world at war

Made me want to rape his face with a grenade. And I did. To think that one word can motivate me enough to kill somebody.

Glad you liked em lol.

That.

Oh, and from the same guy:

"Innovation distinguishes the leader from the followers." - Steve Jobs


You need to be repped for this. I'll do it ASAP. Rep delivered.

Afroman, you are now officially my most repped user on Fakku (besides the admins). :)

"A bad workman blames his tools."
Forgotten Author.

"Because I said so."
My Father.

"Get Straight A's or I will rip off both your arms and beat you with them."
Someone who intimidated me into the honor roll.

"There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so." - Shakespear (from Hamlet)

"some follow a path, and others blaze a trail..." Forgot who it is from

"A Women's Best Make-up Is The Smile" Gintama Title Scene

"Instead of trying to find a way to die beautifully, why not live life beautifully" Sakata Gintoki, Gintama

Lol that is a perfect spin on "give a village a fish and feed them for a day, teach them how to fish and they can feed themselves for life"

A personal quote then.
Simplicity is but a definition of what complexity we find simple.

"Whoever said you can't fool an honest man wasn't one."
- Terry Pratchett, in a scene called "Some observations on tourism" from his novel 'Making Money'.

I have a big thing for (Having a big thing for something, now that I'm thinking about it... it's actually such a weird phrase.) con trickeries, and this is actually one of my favourites.
