Do not judge people by appearances because a rich heart may be under a poor coat.

My head is stuffed with all manner of quotes but right now I really like this one by Putin; 'You asked me if I was a ''friend'' (of the west) or not. The relations between states are a little different from those between individuals. I am not your friend, bride or groom; I am the President of the Russian Federation, that is 146 million people! These people have their own interests, and I must protect those interests.'

Information replaces confusion.

"He who knows does not speak. He who speaks does not know." - Lao Tzu, Chinese philosopher (604 BC – c. 531 BC)

My favorite quote from Denis Istomin is when he describes his recovery from a serious car accident and making the ATP tour: "I don't think about a comeback. I'm here now."

"Social justice is neither communism, nor despotism, nor atomism, nor anarchy, but the humanization of laws and the equalization of social and economic forces by the State so that justice in its rational and objectively secular conception may at least be approximated. Social justice means the promotion of the welfare of all the people, the adoption by the Government of measures calculated to ensure economic stability of all the component elements of society, through the maintenance of a proper economic and social equilibrium in the interrelations of the members of the community, constitutionally, through the adoption of measures legally justifiable, or extra-constitutionally, through the exercise of powers underlying the existence of all governments on the time-honored principle of salus populi est supremo lex." -- Justice Jose P. Laurel (Calalang vs. Williams, 70 Phil. 726)

(Note: "Salus populi est supremo lex" translates as "The welfare of the people shall be the supreme law".

"Many of us have had the experience of living in some local pocket of human society--some particular school, college, regiment or profession where the tone was bad. And inside that pocket certain actions were regarded as merely normal ('Everyone does it') and certain others as impracticably virtuous and Quixotic. But when we emerged from that bad society we made the horrible discovery that in the outer world our 'normal' was the kind of thing that no decent person ever dreamed of doing, and our 'Quixotic' was taken for granted as the minimum standard of decency. What had seemed to us morbid and fantastic scruples so long as we were in the 'pocket' now turned out to be the only moments of sanity we there enjoyed."

C.S. Lewis, from "Mere Christianity" - emphasis mine; this kept me sane in several such places.

"Imperious, choleric, irascible, extreme in everything, with a dissolute imagination the like of which has never been seen, atheistic to the point of fanaticism, there you have me in a nutshell, and kill me again or take me as I am, for I shall not change." - The Marquis De Sade

"The first and most important thing an individual can do is to become an individual again, decontrol himself, train himself as to what is going on and win back as much independent ground for himself as possible" - William S. Burroughs

"It is obvious that [leftists] are not cool-headed logicians systematically analyzing the foundations of knowledge. They are deeply involved emotionally in their attack on truth and reality." - Theodore Kaczynski

"Our society tends to regard as a sickness any mode of thought or behavior that is inconvenient for the system and this is plausible because when an individual doesn't fit into the system it causes pain to the individual as well as problems for the system. Thus the manipulation of an individual to adjust him to the system is seen as a cure for a sickness and therefore as good." - Theodore Kaczynski

"The leftist is anti-individualistic... He is not the sort of person who has an inner sense of confidence in his own ability to solve his own problems and satisfy his own needs." - Theodore Kaczynski

"In the world, there are many different types of people, you know." - Kenta Motokura of Nintendo

The mind is everything. What you think you become - Buddha
