Having a near photographic memory I have quite a few...

"Hate is not the opposite of love. Indifference is, if you hate me, it meens I still have a shot at helping you" -Desperate Housewives (The ONE part of that show that didn't make me wish I hadn't got a near photographic memory I might add)

"Maturity is knowing you were an idiot in the past. Wisdom is knowing that you will be an idiot in the future. And common sense is knowing that you should try not to be an idiot right now." -Characters from the webcomic Questionable content by J. Jacques.

"It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them!" -Frederich Nietzsche.

And two homemade ones:

"Live to serve. If you only look out for yourself, then you have one person looking out for you. If the population of the earth would look out for eachother, then you would have six billion people looking out for you. It is simple math!" -Anders

"Become the embodyment of your ideal, for while a man may fall, ideals are forever. Plus they have a way of being contagious" -Anders

"We're drawing lines on the water
You take a swim with Neptune's daughter
You want to splash in the sea green planet
And let the world go
Just let the birds go, birds go
We'll don't waste another breath
Make sure you take time
To pass along imagination
Before you're gone
And your life slips away... "

-Waterslides by The Aquabats

If this statement is true, of course, since it is a rule, there would have to be an exception to it - which would make it false. :)

Another phrase, although I hadn't boiled it down as such until the other day:

"Hatred is the perfect acid. It destroys its own container."
