My Philosophy

[½ ¡Ñ§ÅñË ®]

God was my co-pilot but we crashed into the mountains and I had to eat him.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large crowds.

When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.

Love is a Word that Some Entertain if you find it you have won the game. Wait I think I might have stole that from someone

Also, from "American Beauty":

"Never underestimate the power of denial."

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.

It's lonely at the top when there's no one on the bottom.

24 hours in a day....24 beers in a case. Coincidence?

Didn't he also say:

"Number 47 said to Number 3,
'You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see!
I would like the pleasure of your company,
So won't you do the Jailhouse Rock with me?' "

So, all the baby-boomers used to hop around in poodle skirts singing songs about rough prison sex!

Thanks... it's a slight paraphrase of an Andre Gide quote, that I adopted as my personal philosophy a few years back.

Look him up sometime... he was actually a pretty wise man (and a Nobel Prize winner!).

Here are a few words to live by:

"Life is too important to be taken seriously." by Oscar Wilde

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." by Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you." by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Emerson is my favorite! I just love his work.

I'm not sure I can define these phrases my philosophy, but I've always found them pretty useful:

Clarity of ideas, perspicacity, firmness and patience under adversity (Pirandello)

Of each particular thing ask: what is it in itself? What is its nature? (Hannibal Lecter's summary of Marcus Aurelius)

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. (G.B Shaw)

Romy

[seeker007nmss]

"Never argue with an idiot, people watching may not be able to tell you apart".


"There are no obsolutes in the world....Only consequences".


"When things are reduced to Balck and White...The truth is always Grey".

[Vianna]

Those who do not remember the past are condemned to relive it-Santayana
