I have a word file with my collection (currently 24 pages long). Here is a page from it:
"First they arrested the Communists -- but I was not a Communist, so I did nothing. Then they came for the Social Democrats, but I was not a Social Democrat, so I did nothing. Then they arrested the trade unionists -- and I did nothing because I was not one. And then they came for the Jews and the Catholics, but I was neither a Jew nor a Catholic and I did nothing. At last they came and arrested me -- and there was no one left to do anything about it."
- Rev Martin Niemoller (Nazi Prison Survivor)
More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.
-Woody Allen
The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.
-Henri Bergson
"Without education, we are in a
horrible and deadly danger of taking
educated people seriously."
-- G.K. Chesterton
From the moment I could talk, I was ordered to listen.
--Cat Stevens, Father and Son
"When you dont like your job you dont strike. You go in and do it really half assed. THATS THE AMERICAN WAY!"
-Homer-
"I have an existential map; it has 'you are here' written all over it. "
- Steven Wright
-Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.
- Nietzsche
"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy,
education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would
indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment
and hope of reward after death."
-Albert Einstein
