"There should be no such thing as yet another second chance."

"Always be prepared to reexamine your reasoning." -Robert McNamara

"No one will ever win the battle of the sexes. There's too much fraternizing with the enemy."

"Greet what arrives, escort what leaves, and rush upon loss of contact."- Chinese Philosophy

"No action, or conscious choice, is without some form of cost either at the moment or in the future."



"Actual compassion, and true humanity, is almost never the easy choice or path, and thus rarely followed."

"The average dog sled team can kill and devour a full grown human in under 3 minutes." - Canadian Wisdom

"..Ground's too hard. Them men wanted a decent burial, they should have got themselves killed in summer." - Cogburn

"Bad things happen to good people on a regular basis for little or no reason, so you don't need to worrying about helping. "

"Always remember that the people behind the media are paid to produce news, sometimes any news, to keep their job or get a promotion."



"Shove your shield in the face of the enemy, hating life and embracing death's dark spirits like the sun's rays . . ." - Tyrtaeus, Spartan poet

"The right to free speech, individual liberty, and rule of law should never excuse a lack of personal responsibility, self reliance, and consciousness of morality."

"The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking, and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophes." - Albert Einstein

"No matter what society would have us believe very few human beings are in fact special. Cheaters quite often win, and nature's already lucky winners often do cheat as well."

"With few exceptions human beings, as opposed to animals, can override emotion and instinct with thought. There is no excuse for wrong-doing simply for the sake of so doing."



"If I'm not talking to you, then stop harassing me. I may not be interested in you, or busy, or just too lazy to reply. If I don't, then settle down. I will when I want, and if I don't, I wont."

"Notice to all you single lonely guys: Women don't need internet dating sites. They can go out to any Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, grocery store, laundromat, or etc and get hit on 50 times in a day."

"Imagine a room awash in gasoline, and there are two implacable enemies in that room. One of them has nine thousand matches, the other seven thousand matches. Each of them is concerned about who's ahead, who's stronger." - Carl Sagan, discussing the arms race.

"One constant of human-kind is that no matter how strong a front of solidarity is displayed by a group there will always be at least one member willing to sell out the others for little or no perceptible gain."

"As with the school-yard, ratting out one's peers or betters on most any wrong-doing is almost never an acceptable choice no matter how right the path, and no one will believe you weren't involved anyways."



"Recognize that for the vast majority of human beings 'Perception is unquestioned belief.' Most everything most everyone accepts as factual knowledge they learned either from television or mass media, or from someone telling them X fact, which was probably from a similar source."


"The 7 Deadly Sins are: Wealth without work. Pleasure without conscience. Knowledge without character. Business without morality. Science without humanity. Worship without sacrifice. Politics without principle." - Gandhi


"Not everyone possesses the courage or strength to stand on their own - yet few if any other persons will ever stand up for them when necessary, and by so doing ensure that the very same inaction happens to themselves at a later time during their own moment of weakness."


"If you have so little money or goods it isn't worth worrying about someone will still have their hand out for a share or try to take it all away. On the other hand, if you have so much money or goods you do not have to worry about it most everyone will have their hand out for a share, or try to take it all away."


"The manner in which you ask a question betrays your limits - those answers you will accept, and those you will reject or confuse with misunderstanding. If someone isn't willing to let you be in the right on some topic, you aren't ever going to change their perception. However, just because a fact is repugnant may not necessarily make it any less truthful."
