Quotations
 
You know, I'm in a curious mood this morning, so I think I'll start this inquisitive topic. Well, the question I want to ask is: What is your favorite quotation? It can be from any source, on any subject. My favorite quote is:

"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible." -- T. E. Lawrence, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom

I like it, because it tells what I am, a 'dreamer of the day'. I use it as a point of inspiration every day.

So, now then, have at it. And, always remember, have fun and keep it clean.

And when I'm drunk as drunk can be, O, I'll sing the madman's litany." ~ Zhou Yu, Romance of The Three Kingdoms

"The noble person who has eaten of his lord's bounty should die in his lord's battles; to return to one's home dead and wrapped in a horse's hide is a happy fate. Am I the sort of people to bring to nought the grand designs of my country?" ~Zhou Yu, Romance of The Three Kingdoms
