There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed, though you still get the same soaking. This understanding extends to everything.
-Hagakure (The Way of the Samurai)

Just a few random ones: And some anti-favourites:

"Power corrupts;
Absolute power corrupts absolutely;
God is all-powerful.
Draw your own conclusions"

"Creationists make it sound as though a 'theory' is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night." -Isaac Asimov

"The only difference between God and Adolf Hitler is that God is more proficient at genocide."

"Question with boldness even the existance of a god; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear" -Thomas Jefferson

"This sort of behavior is left to the psychotic, dogmatic, fundamentalist believers you see on T.V. everyday letting off bombs and killing people in the name of God. Beliefs are dangerous. Beliefs allow the mind to stop functioning. A non-functioning mind is clinically dead. Believe in nothing." -Tool

"There are just some things that don't seem very fair in the world, like this fucking hypocrisy of organized religion. I just don't understand how people can blindly believe a bunch of the shit they're fed, to believe it so that they don't think too hard about other issues. 'Be a good boy and you'll go to heaven.' If it works for you, fine, but it doesn't work for me and that pisses me off because I kind of wish it did." - Trent Reznor

"I was in Nashville, Tennesee last year, after the show I went to a Waffle House, I'm not proud of it, I was hungry. And I'm alone, I'm eating and I'm reading a book, right? Waitress walks over to me, "Tch tch tch tch. Hey, what you readin' for?" Is that like the weirdest fucking question you've ever heard? Not what am I reading, but what am I reading for. Well, godammit, you stumped me. Why do I read? Well... hmmm... I guess I read for a lot of reasons, and the main one is so I don't end up being a fucking waffle waitress." - Bill Hicks

"If there was a god, he wouldn't let a guy walk right up and shoot you in the face now would he? That's right, now you get the picture. Truth burns doesn't it?" - from Black Coffee Blues by Henry Rollins

Pangea

Well, some of mine are a little more philisophical than others but here goes:

"The drop excavates the stone, not with force, but by falling often." Ovid, Ex Ponto

"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours." Stephen F. Roberts

"Remember, a friend will help you move, a true friend will help you move a body." Unknown

"Oh human race, born to fly upward, wherefore at but a little wind dost though so easily fall?" Dante

"The definition of insanity is continuing to do the same things day in and day out and expecting different results." Unknown

One I jotted down from somebody here in the forums:
"We know that there are people who are completely insane, yet are absolutely convinced that they are completely sane. There’s no way to know that you aren’t one of those people."
--bd-from-kg

The one posted on my cubicle wall:
"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts."
--Bertran Russel

And the one I live by:
"Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles of the world are apt to be the things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday."

"SEldom affirm. Never deny. Always distinguish." The decent young OP who said this to me w/ a twinkle back in um 1950, when we were all returning from a family's baptism, did not identify the source altho it was obviously a quotation. He died on vacation shortly after, Alp-climbing, struck dead by sunstroke. What a way to go. Abe
