Every Journey begins with one single step.

Make sure that every decision you make today, is one you can live with tomorrow.

Taste like Chicken

When in doubt, lay out-

Sort of an inside joke, if you play ultimate frisbee you might get this.

Op, forgot my Sun Tzu quotes-

Ultimate Excellence lies not in winning every battle, but in defeating the enmy without ever fighting.

In warfare, engage directly, secure victory indirectly

The way of War is a Way of Deception: When able, feign inability. When deploying troops, appear not to be. When near, appear Far. When far, appear near. Lure with bait. Strike with chaos.

"Comon you apes! You wanna live forever?"
-Dunno who first said it. I think someone during the First World War

"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was convincing the world he didn't exist."
-The Usual Suspects.

Two of my fave quotes.

"I give you a fish, you eat for a day, I teach you to fish, you eat for life."

That is one of my favorites.

The victories of the Skillful warrior are not extraordinary victories; They bring neither fame for wisdom, nor merit for valour.

Give a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

If at first you don't succeed, you fail.

Not sure who said this (Confucius?) but this man was asked what the greatest kind of leader would be:

The second best leader is loved. The third-best leader is respected. the next-best leader is feared. the worst type of leader hated.

However, with the best leader, the people think they have achieved what their leader has.

This is just how I can remeber it. When I find the actual quote, I'll edit.

Just because I'm listening to the song right now...I'm going to say:

You can't always get what you want.

...so true.

there are better ones, but I'm tired and can't think right now.

I doubt that.

Oh, the irony!

But in all seriousness, I am certain of my own abilities. So, does that make me a fool?

Most likely. As am I.

This is just the only quote that applies to any of my values but here she goes, straight from the Matrix;

"If we can't take them down, lets give 'em hell trying!"

I take it as; if you are trying to succeed give everything you have for it, and if God is with you, you have no chance of losing.

I think you may have interpreted it wrongly...

Another quote which I first read scrawled on a university bathroom wall, but later found out was first said by the venerable Terry Pratchett:

"I think perhaps the most important problem is that we are trying to understand the fundamental workings of the universe via a language devised for telling one another when the best fruit is."
