Personal family/cultural/famous Quotes that hit you with truth?

-Basicaly words that startle you and make you really ponder over them. It could be something your mother had told your mother who has told you... or a phrase that is used in your culture commonly? i.e Afte speaking to a women who shared her trouble's with me and my friend... my friend later turned to m and whispered 'Talk to no one and the world is happy''. Meaning you think people are all smiles and bulletproof but everyone has sadnss of some sort in there hearts.



Anothre example... Shakespeare once said ''isnt it strange how we can not see our own faces but through the use of mirrors''



Well - somthing like that lol. (sorry to all you major shakespeare fans out there).



Well when you think about it, its strange really isnt it. I mean, men have come and gone on this earth and many have done wonderous things, and left amazing things behind... i.e pyramids and etc. Like wha Im getting at is, we humans are amazing creatures, just look at what some of us have done for the world. Look at these fancy sky scrapers and all sorts. Yet we can not do the simplest of things and look at our own face, without the use of a mirror. I dont know about you guys, but I find that to be the strangest of things."In tough times you can sit around and feel sorry for yourself, or you can fight."There are 3 types of people in this world. Those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who sit there wondering what happened.
Okay, this one my great Aunt said to my brother GF and I will never forget it...don't know if its profound or not though..lol " why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free"



here are some of my favorite "slap you in the face with truth" quotes...



All such action would cease if those powerful elemental forces were to cease stirring within us.

-Albert Einstein



The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

-Albert Einstein



Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently.

They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them. Disagree with them. Glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them.

Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world

Are the ones who do.

All this talk about equality. The only thing people really have in common is that they are all going to die.

-Bob Dylan



He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
