    I'm interested in hearing everyone's favorite quotes, philosophical sayings, or anything that helped you or made you think different. Whether it's movie quotes, life quotes, drug quotes, speeches from favorite people, or inspirational messages. All is welcome.

    One of my all time favorites is actually my sig.

    shit, i have tons, here's a few though:

    Take someone who doesn't keep score, who's not looking to be richer, or afraid of losing, who has not the slightest interest even in his own personality: He's free. - Rumi

    "He who knows he has enough is rich." Lao Tzu

    "We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are" -Anais Nin

    "If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive." ~ Eleonora Duse

    "If they give you ruled paper, write the other way" -Juan Ramon Jimenez

    Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote. -Benjamin Franklin

    "Men do not mirror themselves in running water--they mirror themselves in still water. Only what is still can still the stillness of other things." -Chuang Tzu

    and this one's just plain funny:

    "What on earth would I do if four bears came into my camp? Why, I would die, of course. Literally shit myself lifeless. I would blow my sphincter out my backside like one of those unrolling paper streamers you get at children's parties--I daresay it would even give a merry toot--and bleed to a messy death in my sleeping bag" -Bill Bryson

    "The UN is everybody's way to do nothing by proxy." C. Allen Doudna
