One of Joseph's favorite quotes is:"Historical quotes:
"the true profit of virtuous deeds lies in the doing and there is no fitting reward for the virtues apart from the virtues themselves..." -Seneca taken from his Essay On Mercy(this excerpt was from Chronicle of the Roman Emperors)-the whole essay kicks booty but in the interest of saving space I only included that quote.
"When Civil War in the balance lay, and mincing Otho might have won the day, bloodshed too costly did he spare his land, and pierced his heart with an Unfaltering hand. Caesar to Cato yields while both drew breath: greater than both is Otho in his death"-Martial Epigrams VI. 32 (again taken from Chronicle of the Roman Emperors)
Here are some Aztec Poems(translated into English) I also enjoy taken from the book Fifteen Poets of the Aztec World:
I Nezahuacoyotl ask this: Is it true one really lives on the earth? Not forever on earth, only a littl...Expand for more
e while here. Though it be jade it falls apart, though it be gold it wears away, though it be quetzal plummage it is torn asunder. Not forever on earth, only a little while here.
and..
Thus spoke Tochihuitzin, thus spoke Coyolchiuhqui:
We only rise from sleep , we come only to dream, it is not true, it is not true, that we come on earth to live. As an herb in springtime so is our nature. Our hearts give birth make sprout the flowers of out flesh. Some open their corollas, then they become dry. Thus spoke Tochihuitzin thus spoke Coyolchiuhqui.
Here's some funny quotes in case those were too serious:
"I can kill again, you've given me a reason to live"-from Hot Shots Part Deux
"War, it's fantastic!" -Also from Hot Shots PartDeux(ok knowing how it was said makes this quote a lot funnier-as is it's not that funny)
"Weaseling out of things is important to learn it's what separtes us from the animals, except the weasel."-Homer Simpson from the Simpsons
There was probably an old Viking saying that said, "Ax in the head, early to bed; ax in the helmet, a friend of Helmut." -Jack Handey(one of his deep thoughts)
Wow this section is starting to get long I guess I really like quotes!!".
More about Joseph:"Joey is thinking about getting with some very hot women.
Let's see what can I say beyond that I'm obviously a dreamboat. What else, well I am the fourth of eight kids. I currently work at Spirit Aerosytems.".
