-As long as you still experience the stars as something above you, you still lack a viewpoint of knowledge.-

-Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.-

-You look up when you wish to be exalted. And I look down because I am exalted.-

To one's enemies: "I hate myself more than you ever could."

Narcissism is the belief that one is perfect. As humans strive for perfection, narcissism is stagnation. Only if one is discontent with their position may they muster the motivation to rise above it. Truly, self-loathing is the path to ascension.

Seeking what is true is not seeking what is desirable.

The road to creativity passes so close to the madhouse that it often detours or ends there.

Without awareness, we are not truly alive.

Some of them may not seem particularly inspirational, but I find them insightful. This one cheered me up once:

No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.

You know, I wanted to post in here when I first saw this, but I never got the chance. However, I was reminded of one of my favorite quotes recently, so here I am.

To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.

Now, of course, I never post anyting written by somebody who is not me without a touch of research, and both the Emerson quote, and the Burke quote are probably misattributed (those people didn't say those things). And, though Ghandi did not use those exact words, (and some people belive that the misattribution and word twisting ruins the quote), I have used these as advice in my own life to great success, and can only believe that they have evolved, as language tends to do, into what we have needed as a culture, and their power is verified plenty enough.

And, I almost forgot one, that conveniently enough is NOT contested:

Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, it does not boast, it is not arrogant. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

-The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering.
-I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
-Be water, my friend.

-You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.

-Merlina...every world has its end. I know that's kinda sad, but...that's why we gotta live life to the fullest in the time we have. At least, that's what I figure.

Can't remember any other worthwhile quotes right now...
