Here's mine: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
"Once I, Chuang Tzu, dreamed I was a butterfly and was happy as a butterfly. I was conscious that I was quite pleased with myself, but I did not know that I was Tzu. Suddenly I awoke, and there was I, visibly Tzu. I do not know whether it was Tzu dreaming that he was a butterfly or the butterfly dreaming that he was Tzu. Between Tzu and the butterfly there must be some distinction. [But one may be the other.] This is called the transformation of things." -Chuang Tzu
“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.” ― Marcus Aurelius

# A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Albert Einstein »
“Must wise up, but who are we to preach, when we don’t even teach ourselves the same lessons?” - Vordul Mega. “If you can control a man’s thinking, you don’t have to worry about his actions. If you can determine what a man thinks you do not have worry about what he will do. If you can make a man believe that he is inferior, you don’t have to compel him to seek an inferior status, he will do so without being told and if you can make a man believe that he is justly an outcast, you don’t have to order him to the back door, he will go to the back door on his own and if there is no back door, the very nature of the man will demand that you build one.” - Carter G. Woodson. 420th post!
"workers need a boss about as much as a fish needs a bicycle" "I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man." - Che Guevara last words before he was assassinated by the CIA. "I am not interested in dry economic socialism. We are fighting against misery, but we are also fighting against alienation." Che Guevara "Justice remains the tool of a few powerful interests; legal interpretations will continue to be made to suit the convenience of the oppressor powers." - Che Guevara
"To predict the behavior of ordinary people in advance, you only have to assume that they will always try to escape a disagreeable situation with the smallest possible expenditure of intelligence." If you like this you will find out who said it.
'Become the change you want to see in the world.' -ghandi This is the only one I have permanently memorized.
"No theory, no ready-made system, no book that has ever been written will save the world. I cleave to no system. I am a true seeker." -- Mikhail Bakunin "To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise; for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For anything that men can tell, death may be the greatest good that can happen to them; but they fear it as if they knew quite well that it was the greatest of evils. And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?" -- Socrates "I can't judge any of you. I have no malice against you and no ribbons for you. But I think that it is high time that you all start looking at yourselves, and judging the lie that you live in." -- Charles Manson "I am only what you made me. I am a reflection of you." -- Charles Manson "Some day a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the streets." -- Travis Bickle, from the movie Taxi Driver
