One of Jason's favorite quotes is:""No, I am your father!"- Darth Vader Obi-Wan: The Force will be with you, always. Obi-Wan: You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them. You were to bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness. Anakin Skywalker: [shouts] I hate you. Obi-Wan: You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you. Frodo: I can't do this, Sam. Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something. Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam? Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for. Gimli: Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an Elf. Legolas: What about side by side with a friend? Gimli: Aye. I could do that. "So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love."- The Bible, 1 Corinthians 13:13 "Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy."- The Bible, Proverbs 31:9 "And them that take the sword shall perish by the sword." - The Bible, Matthew 26:52 "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. "-Martin Luther King, Jr. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."- Martin Luther King Jr. "An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity."-Martin Luther King, Jr. "Philanthropy is commendable, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of e...Expand for more
conomic injustice which make philanthropy necessary." Martin Luther King, Jr. "He who overcomes others is strong. He who overcomes himself is mighty."- Chinese Proverb Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something. - Henry David Thoreau I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now. - Henry David Thoreau Professor Henry Jones (Indiana Jones' dad): I suddenly remembered my Charlemagne. Let my armies be the rocks and the trees and the birds in the sky... Gravemind/Cortana: I have defied gods and demons. I am your shield; I am your sword. I know you: your past, your future. This is the way the world ends. Pierre Trudeau- Some things I never learned to like. I didn't like to kiss babies, though I didn't mind kissing their mothers. Pierre Trudeau- The past is to be respected and acknowledged, but not to be worshipped. It is our future in which we will find our greatness. Pierre Berton- A Canadian is someone who knows how to make love in a canoe without tipping it. "If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace." -Franklin D. Roosevelt The Black Eyed Peas- What's a hot girl if she can't really dance, what's electro without wearing tight pants? Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib- There is no wealth like knowledge, no poverty like ignorance. The Bible, Ecclesiastes- A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God... George Sand- Art for art's sake is an empty phrase. Art for the sake of truth, art for the sake of the good and the beautiful: that is the faith I am searching for. Socrates- I am neither an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world. Jim Halpert: [imitating Dwight] Bears eat beets. Bears... Beets... Battlestar Galactica. Michael Scott: You may look around, and see two groups here. White collar, blue collar. But I don't see it that way. You know why not? Because I am collar-blind. "But whoever has the world's goods, and beholds his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?"- The Bible, 1 John 3:17 "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 dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. This I did. "- T.E. Lawrence “Those who lose dreaming are lost.” – Australian Aboriginal saying".
