“Listen to many, speak to a few.”

“I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano; A stage where every man must play a part, And mine is a sad one”

“Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind”

“Who could refrain that had a heart to love and in that heart courage to make love known?”

“Love is too young to know what conscience is.”

“Speak low, if you speak love.”

“The lunatic, the lover, and the poet are of imagination all compact”

“No, I will be the pattern of all patience; I will say nothing.”

“If music be the food of love, play on; give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, the appetite may sicken and so die.”
-William Shakespeare

"I would rather betray the world, than let others betray me."
- Cao Cao

Interesting quote, in my opinion it really shows what type of person Cao Cao really is.

"For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill."
- Sun Tzu

I love my quote from Rachel Maddow in 2010, she used the phrase Politically Conspiratorial Demons on live national TV and yes I documented it

But my favorite is "We can't solve our problems using the same broken logic we used to create them" - Albert Einstein

I think that quote is one of the most profound in the sense of it's relevancy to our current society and its overall train of thought. And in a way it is the generic end all solution for anything we get ourselves into.

In other words, if it's broken, fix it and if your tool is broken, replace the tool and fix it with the new one. -ME (This is now also one of my favorite quotes )

Well, I acknowledge that this is true for me:

Basically, I am intelligent enough to not think too deeply for some things. Ignorance is bliss and all that. And then:
