It's a Zen Buddhist koan (if I remember right), so I don't know the author:

'There's no need of fish in a pond without water.'
'Who want's to do, will always find a solution. Who Doesn't want to do, will always find an excuse.'

'If you want to teach something, you shall be the liveing example of it.'

Quote in sig.

Also, "Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace." A saying my friend told me, attributed to Buddha himself.

Not a particularly positive one but one I believe.

At first I read this as "Going to war with France is like going deer hunting with your accordion."

In retrospect though, that's still pretty accurate.

Just for optimism's sake...

"Men may seem detestable as joint stock-companies and nations; knaves, fools, and murderers there may be; men may have mean and meagre faces; but man, in the ideal, is so noble and so sparkling, such a grand and glowing creature, that over any ignominious blemish in him all his fellows should run to throw their costliest robes." -Herman Melville, 'Moby Dick'

"Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it." ~ Mohandas Gandhi

That's right, kids. Everything you accomplish in life is entirely useless in retrospect. But doing it is the important part.

Also, if I may be pompous, here's one I coined back in high school:

"In hindsight, there were better ideas. But in foresight, not all of them were as good."

Some good ones are:

"In each human heart are a tiger, a pig, an ass and a nightingale. Diversity of character is due to their unequal activity."
-Ambrose Bierce

"Art is the lie that tells the truth."
-Pablo Picasso

"We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started."
-Henry Ward Beecher

"The limits of my language means the limits of my world."
&
"A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door that's unlocked and opens inwards; as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push."
-Ludwig Wittgenstein


And on the more humorous side:

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
-Benjamin Franklin

"Those who forget the pasta are doomed to reheat it."

Wait, because it's a famous "singer" (or should I say auto-tuned dog barking ?) ?
Damn, we're doomed. I miss the Rolling Stones.

Nah, I needed to be able to recite those unholy texts for my nefarious schemes.

To make ammends, I'll quote something awesome:


"Not to touch the earth
Not to see the sun
Nothing left to do, but
Run, run, run"

I'm also changing the game a bit; instead of telling who this quote is from, you have to guess. No googling or I'll find you :3.
