Thought of the day
A collection of memorable quotes or thoughts I have stumbled upon or come up with.
- "He who has conquered is not conqueror, Unless the conquered one confesses it." - Quintus Ennius
- "I shall either find a way or make one." - Hannibal
- "Time in its irresistible and ceaseless flow carries along on its flood all created things, and drowns them in the depths of obscurity, no matter if they be quite unworthy of mention, or most noteworthy and important, and thus, as the tragedian says, "he brings from the darkness all things to the birth, and all things born envelops in the night." '''But''' '''the tale of history forms a very strong bulwark against the stream of time, and to some extent checks its irresistible flow, and, of all things done in it, as many as history has taken over, it secures and binds together, and does not allow them to slip away into the abyss of oblivion." - Anna Komnene
- "Stories are much tidier than real life. Stories have neat, happy endings, but all you ever really get is unfinished business." -For the Emperor (written by Sandy Mitchell)
- "Such is the unity of all history that anyone who endeavours to tell a piece of it must feel that his first sentence tears a seamless web." - Frederick Pollock
- "History does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes." - Mark Twain
- "Nightmares never last, mom. One day you wake up and they're gone." - Trunks, Dragon Ball Z (voiced by Eric Vale)
- "What does it mean to be a man? To live. To adapt. To survive. To overcome. To teach the next generation. To die knowing your children succeed you." - YouTube commenter
- Dying for your country is overrated, dying for your family is where it's at.
- Take cold showers, it'll do you good.
- Since suicide is more common than homicide, the best self-defence we can provide civilians is to disarm them.
- "Every heartbeat is a reminder of the body's silent symphony, where every organ is an instrument playing its part, unappreciated until one goes out of tune." - /u/WrathoFstealtH
- "Life is what you do while you're waiting to die." - Fred Ebb
- "Each of us is a candle. A single flame in the dark, every moment a vibrant rebellion against the void. Because we are made to burn out, it makes our shining all the more brilliant." - YouTube commenter
- The internet is such an incredibly large place, yet it has no distance so it isn't.
- "Analysis shows that there is no significant difference in how rational the Flat Earth sample viewed themselves and how the national sample viewed themselves."[1]
- "Being alone on the toilet is proof that you'll always be alone when shit goes down" - Origin unclear
- Life is so ephemeral... maybe that's the beauty of it. Carpe Diem.
