|

Either philoshophical, or even a quote from a philosopher.
"It's a shame stupidity isn't painful." -Anton Szandor LaVey
"The best way to deal with temptation is to yield to it... the highest form of spirituality is the carnal." - Anton Szandor LaVey
''Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.'' -Buddha
''However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act upon them?'' -Buddha

I think its interesting that you picked LaVey to quote. He was a brilliant guy... but Satanism isn't so popular ya know? Still... good quotes.
Mine?
"Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us; nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth.... Through words and concepts we shall never reach beyond the wall off relations, to some sort of fabulous primal ground of things."
-Nietzsche
and while not philosophical, I find it good to keep things in perspective.
"When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking."
-Albert Einstein

"I am nobody, and nobody is perfect, therefore I am perfect."
May or may not be considered philosophical.

| He that has eyes to see and ears to hear may convince himself that no mortal can keep a secret. If his lips are silent, he chatters with his fingertips; betrayal oozes out of him at every pore. ~ Sigmund Freud

If stupidity was painful there would be a lot more dead people right now.
one of my fave quotes i saw on call of duty 4 but i cant seem to remember it right now.
Its probably not philosophical... whatever that means big words to hard for me.

Yes, and only smart people would exist. People who don't go setting off nuclear bombs and launching missiles at the moon purely to see what will happen.

well for starters it wasn't a missile and they did have a reason. they crashed a busted spacecraft into it so it would create a dust cloud that they could analyze.
but lets not turn this into a debate about that.
"A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer. "
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
That's the quote i was talking about earlier. I'm pretty sure its not philosophical

Everything!
Especially
“Never give in, never give in, never; never; never; never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense”
and
“If you are going through hell, keep going.”

Wise men do indeed not play with me and unicorns.
On a side note I don't know if it's philosophical(and I don't know if it's quoted correctly); "The way of the sword has three levels, on the first you train your body with your sword and become one with it, on the second you take away the sword from your hand and everything near you becomes a weapon,
and on the third level you put the sword in your heart and lay all weapons down; You have found peace."

The desire to be rewarded for one's creativity does not justify depriving the world in general of all or part of that creativity.
