Optimism: The doctrine that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly, everything good, especially the bad, and everything right that is wrong... It is hereditary, but fortunately not contagious.
Brain: an apparatus with which we think we think.
Politeness, n. The most acceptable hypocrisy.
Faith: Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel.
Ambrose Bierce
The first quotes of a 2300 word long txt file filled with quotes. ;D

A nice lofty one: "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler." - Henry David Thoreau
And my favorite follow-up: "I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're goin', and hook up with them later." - Mitch Hedberg
"Man is most contemptible when compared with his own pretensions. It is better to laugh at man from outside the universe, than to weep for him within." - H.P. Lovecraft
"I like parties, but I don’t like pinatas because the pinata promotes violence against flamboyant animals. Hey, there’s a donkey with some pizzazz. Let’s kick its ass. What I’m trying to say is, don’t make the same Halloween costume mistake that I did." - Demetri Martin

''If his unpleasant wounding has in some way enlightened the rest of you as to the grim finish beneath the glossy veneer of criminal life and inspired you to change your ways, then his injuries carries with it an inherent nobility and a supreme glory. We should all be so fortunate. You say, "poor Toby". I say, "poor us". ~ Vinnie Jones as 'Sphinx' in Gone In 60 Seconds
''Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.'' - Mark Twain
''Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.'' - Epicurus
''I have been astonished that Men could die Martyrs for religion - I have shudder'd at it - I shudder no more - I could be martyr'd for my Religion - Love is my religion - I could die for that - I could die for you'' - John Keats
"Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose." - Alphonse Karr
''Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.'' - Mark Twain
>.< Those are just those featured on my MySpace profile. I have many other favourites. These, however remind me how to be calm and rational sometimes. It's helps. ^^
