Cool Quotes

 
 
 

  This is a collection of some of the coolest quotes ever!  Or, at least, some of the coolest quotes that I've ever heard.  Some of these are political, a few are thought-provoking, while others are just outright hilarious.


  I've had this page for years, now (you can tell it's one of my oldest pages by the layout), and I've been slowly adding a line to it every so often.  It seems that others are starting their own cool quotes pages, now.  LOL  What's that phrase again?  "Imitation is the most sincerest form of flattery"?  Thank you, everybody!  ;-)


  Stuff that I came up with can be found at the bottom, for those bored enough to read it.  ;-)  Click here to get to it without scrolling down.

  "A man who limits his interests limits his life."  -  Vincent Price

  "As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression . . .  There is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged.  And it is in such a twilight that we must be most aware of change in the air  --  however slight  --  lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness."  -  William O. Douglas, US Supreme Court Justice from 1939 - 1975

  "I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country.  Corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, with the money power of the country endeavoring to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."  -  U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, November 21st, 1864, in a letter to Colonel William F.

*   The above quote is sometimes disputed, but, then, they frequently lost a lot of things even the most famous people in history said.  For example, the famous "Lost Speech" made by Abraham Lincoln on May 29, 1856, in Bloomington, Illinois at Major's Hall which many people heard in person, yet, even the reporters who were there for it didn't write down what was said.  For those who are interested in reading a science-fiction book which includes many historical scenes within it including the people and area of that time, please check out the book The Lincoln Hunters by Wilson Tucker.

  "Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will.  But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others.  I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual."  -  Thomas Jefferson to Isaac H.

  "The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive.  It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all.  I like a little rebellion now and then.  It is like a storm in the atmosphere."  -  Thomas Jefferson to Abigail Adams, 1787.
 
 

  "God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion...  We have had thirteen States independent for eleven years.  There has been one rebellion.  That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half, for each State.  What country before ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion?"  -  Thomas Jefferson to William S. Smith, 1787.
 
 

  "Most codes extend their definitions of treason to acts not really against one's country.  They do not distinguish between acts against the government, and acts against the oppressions of the government.  The latter are virtues, yet have furnished more victims to the executioner than the former, because real treasons are rare; oppressions frequent.  The unsuccessful strugglers against tyranny have been the chief martyrs of treason laws in all countries."  -  Thomas Jefferson: Report on Spanish Convention, 1792.

  The stuff that I came up with for the real world:

 

 
 

  "If you learn, but do not teach, take, but do not give, you SUCK!"  -  CyberWoLfman aka Grok Wolf



  "Insanity is strangely liberating.  It's like taking your phone off the hook from reality."  -  CyberWoLfman aka Grok Wolf



  "If life isn't any fun, then what's the fun of living?"  -  CyberWoLfman aka Grok Wolf



  "If you stick a gun in the face of every man, woman, and child on the entire planet to maintain order, it's not protecting them; it's enforcing your rule, your will, your laws upon others.  You're a tyrant, plain and simple."  -  CyberWoLfman aka Grok Wolf

  Think about it.  There's no free will if that's the case.  The people do what they're told, think as you tell them to think, and act like little more than lock-stepped slaves or they get shot.  All a government needs to do is declare anything they don't approve of an act of terrorism or a belligerent (angry) act, which, to them, is the same thing.  And, let's face it; if your rights are taken away from you, and that doesn't make you angry, you're little more than a good little robot, anyway.  Although, in the eyes of those with power, silence means consent.  When freedom of speech and thought are condemned, and discussing politics or alternate solutions besides what has been dictated to the masses is frowned upon, the jack-booted, swastika-kissing, goose-stepping types who break in your door and shove guns in your faces can't be far behind.  If they're not there, already . . .  Even if they don't look like Nazis, but still act like Nazis, the only difference is the packaging.  Judge a tree by its fruit and the people by the content of their character and not their clothing, skin color, or whatever lies come out of their mouths.



  "Why do almost all humans demand fairness, but don't want to be fair themselves, to others?"  -  CyberWoLfman aka Grok Wolf

  Examples for the lack of fairness from humans are easily seen in their behavior, or rather, misbehavior.  One glaring example is their tendency to cut in line in multiple situations.  Being fair and taking turns isn't something that many humans seem capable of doing.  For instance, when you observe them at busy intersections with stop signs on each corner, some try to follow the preceding vehicle.  They also cut in line at checkout lines in stores, movie theater ticket windows, amusement parks, and on streets or roadways, where they drive up as far as they can in the faster-moving lane before they have to merge into the slower-moving lane, because their lane of traffic ends, or the slower-moving lane is the one where people have to turn in order to get onto another street.  Makes you wish the cities where it happens in would put the dividers further from the point where they're forced to merge, with permanent spike strips between them, and a sign saying "Line-cutting will result in tire damage" especially if that city is recognized as being one of the top ten cities with the most road raged drivers.  Which would probably be a good idea before someone who has had it done to them too many times at the same place throws down jackrocks or hollow caltrops along the line between lanes . . .  Another example of their lack of fairness is seen in their desire to bend the rules whenever it pleases them, such as getting into the 20 items or less checkout lines at stores with a full shopping cart (and when the store cashiers never enforce the 20 items or less rule, it lets others see that they can get away with it, too, which makes it a growing trend).  Such actions as those listed above shout out to everyone who sees them that they think they're better than everyone else, and rules and laws do not apply to them.  That attitude seems to be highest among the rich.  Is it any surprise, then, that many of the cities with the most road rage are also home to some of the richest people?   Okay, to me, anyone who earns more than $50,000 a year is rich.  LOL  But, then, I've spent most of my adult life below the Federal Poverty Level or FPL . . .



  I sometimes drop in things like "I'm functioning within normal parameters" (yes, I'm a science fiction fan, and that part was something I think I heard the character Data say in the series Star Trek: The Next Generation) for this one:

  "How am I?  I'm functioning within normal parameters.  Thanks for caring enough about me to inquire about my well-being.  I'm truly touched.  Or at least that's what they tell me."  -  CyberWoLfman aka Grok Wolf
 
 

  This is what I reply with when people ask me what's up / wassup / whassup:

  "What's up? That's an EASY one!  Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, and carbon!  Since most of Earth's atmosphere is composed of nitrogen, the six elements that're lighter than it must be 'up', right?"  -  CyberWoLfman aka Grok Wolf

  Keep this site alive!  Donate a dollar if you can spare one to keep this site alive.  Click here to find the mailing address, or to donate with PayPal.  Your help is desperately needed!  If you appreciate a site that doesn't bombard you with pop-up ads, adult ads, or Flash ads, and in fact, tells you how to get rid of them (see the Internet Help page), show your support now, before this site is no more, and you are left with only those kind of sites.  Also has links where you can help feed starving people just by clicking.  :-)
 

  Or:
 

  Check out This Is It, my 3D world, where you can fly, chat, play trivia, see live vidfeeds (click here to see a still picture of about half the VidFeed Pavilion) from all over the world, listen to streaming music (no waiting for big downloads), and lots of other things.  Best of all, you can do it all for free!  :-)

  Click on the picture below to see it full-sized, or go to the information page for This Is It, where there are more full-sized pictures, as well as information on the world itself.
