I don’t oppose all wars. And I know that in this crowd today, there is no shortage of patriots, or of patriotism. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war … I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a U.S. occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences. I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of al-Qaeda. I am not opposed to all wars. I’m opposed to dumb wars.
~ Barack Obama - October 2nd, 2002
He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
~ Thomas Paine
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too, can become great.
~ Mark Twain
In religion and politics, people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second hand, and without examination.
~ Mark Twain
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
~ Martin Luther King Jr.
With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed. Consequently he who moulds public sentiment, goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions.
~ Abraham Lincoln
Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men.
~ Monsinger -- Boondock Saints (1999)
You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.
~ Malcolm X
Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so.
~ Marcus Aurelius
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.
~ Sir Winston Churchill
What do you know about love? What could you possibly know about love? You know, I'm sick and tired of men using love as if it's some disease you just catch. Love should have brought your ass home last night.
~ Angela -- Boomerang (1992)
But, by the time I figured this all out, it was too late; she moved on. And all I had to show for it was some foolish pride which then gave way to regret. She was the girl. I know that now. But, I pushed her away. So I've spent everyday since then chasing Amy. So to speak.
~ Silent Bob -- Chasing Amy (1997)
Motherfucking cocksucker motherfucking shit fucker what am I doing? What am I doing? I don't know what I'm doing. I'm doing the best that I can. I know that's all I can ask of myself. Is that good enough? Is my work doing any good? Is anybody paying attention? Is it hopeless to try and change things? The African guy is a sign, right? Because if he isn't, then nothing in this world makes any sense to me. I'm fucked! Maybe I should quit. Don't quit! Maybe I should just fucking quit. Don't fucking quit! I don't know what the fuck I'm supposed to fucking do anymore! Fucker! Fuck shit!
~ Albert Markovski -- I Heart Huckabees (2004)
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
