Speaking of war quotes… Here's one of my favorite exchanges about war. Perhaps the favorite.


"Then what exactly is the war for?" asks Tjaden.

Kat shrugs his shoulders. "There must be some people to whom the war is useful."

"Well, I'm not one of them," grins Tjaden.

"Not you, nor anybody else here."

- All Is Quiet On The Western Front, Erich Maria Remarque

"If our minds are ruled by destructive emotions, by self-centredness, with little regard for others, we won’t be happy. As social animals we need to work together. With friends around us, we feel secure, happy and our minds are calm. We’re physically well too. When we’re filled with anger, fear and frustration, our minds are upset and our health declines. Therefore, the ultimate source of happiness is warmheartedness."

-His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

Stand upright on your own two feet,
Stand proud and strong,
For with pain comes power,
The power to move on.
– Myself.

It is not until you have seen the bad in life, that you can appreciate the good,
Nor is it till you have seen the good, that you can respect the bad.
– Myself.

" Its not what we cn see with or own eyes,
or feel with our own hands,
or hear with our own ears,
or smell with our own noses.
No its all about how we listen to what others describe. As we can only do so much by our selves."
