Re: What is your favorite quote?

Bookmark and Share

"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."

  Dont say you love somebody and then change your mind ... Love isnt like picking what movie you want to watch.

Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.
