Lisa: No. Homer: Pork chops? Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal. Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal. Homer: Here's to alcohol, the cause of—and solution to—all life's problems. Homer: Son, when you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose: it's how drunk you get. Homer: I want to share something with you: The three little sentences that will get you through life. Number 1: Cover for me. Number 2: Oh, good idea, Boss! Number 3: It was like that when I got here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temple Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I have a couple: one short and one long. The unexamined life is not worth living. and... Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

gbear Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired. -Mark Twain IF If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you But make allowance for their doubting too, If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream--and not make dreams your master, If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much, If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son! - Mr Rudyard Kipling Too often we are defined but we do. He is a doctor. She is a banker. He does the laundry and she does the dishes. When we lose our ability to do these things is when we find out who we really are underneath all of these job definitions. That's when we get to find out whether we're nice people, or giving people or maybe we really are just bitter at what life has thrown at us. Maybe having MS rob us of our ability to do certain things is saying "that's not you. Don't define yourself with your profession or tasks." -can't remember who made this arguement (and I don't have it word for word) on MS World, but it's stuck in my head as I have my wife button my shirts that I now have trouble with.

wysknz1 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Jazz is not dead, it just smells funny. Stupidity is the basic building block of the universe. Tobacco is my favorite vegetable. There is no hell. There is only France. Don't mind your make-up, you'd better make your mind up. Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid. It is always advisable to be a loser if you cannot become a winner. A mind is like a parachute. It doesnt work if it's not open. If we can't be free at least we can be cheap. Sometimes you got to get sick before you can feel better. You can't be a Real Country unless you have a BEER and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a BEER. There will never be a nuclear war; there's too much real estate involved. Consider for a moment any beauty in the name Ralph. Why do you necessarily have to be wrong just because a few million people think you are? Outdoors for me is walking from the car to the ticket desk at the airport You drank beer, you played golf, you watched football - WE EVOLVED! You have just destroyed one model XQJ-37 nuclear powered pansexual roto-plooker....and you're gonna have to pay for it. Interviewer: "So Frank, you have long hair. Does that make you a woman?" FZ: "You have a wooden leg. Does that make you a table?" Without deviation from the norm, 'progress' is not possible. Who are the brain police? The people of your century no longer require the service of composers. A composer is as useful to a person in a jogging suit as a dinsoaur turd in the middle of his runway. There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we'd all love one another. Hey, you know something people? I'm not black, but there's a whole lots a times I wish I could say I'm not white. Most people wouldn't know good music if it came up and bit them in the ass. Politics is the entertainment branch of industry. There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life. There are three things that smell of fish. One of them is fish. The other two are growing on you! May your **** come to life and kiss you on the face. Let's not be too rough on our own ignorance, it's what makes America great. Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is THE BEST. Beauty is a pair of shoes that makes you wanna die. The creation and destruction of harmonic and 'statistical' tensions is essential to the maintenance of compositional drama. Any composition (or improvisation) which remains consonant and 'regular' throughout is, for me, equivalent to watching a movie with only 'good guys' in it, or eating cottage cheese.

gbear Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Califan, your liking the quote prompted me to go back and look at the original which is in many ways better than I remembered it. It still strikes me as awesome for those who have lost a lot whether it be a job or physical ability or anything else we think made us. Here it is: http://www.msworld.org/forum/showthread.php?t=88825 -------- tejokid Sometimes who we used to be wasn't really "us" to begin with. Maybe it was not who we really were so much as a collection of roles we played. The hard worker, the soccer mom, the dad who was a rising star at his job, the great outfielder--all those things. What we are now is "us" stripped of a lot of our roles. We define ourselves by what we do, not by what we are. When, suddenly, what we do isn't possible any more, we're left with something we don't recognize because it's been covered up by all the roles we play. Maybe the question isn't, "Who am I now?" but "Who am I?" We're a go/do/purchase society--when we can't go, do, or purchase things we want to be identified by (the Hummer, the newest iPod)--holy cow, what's left? Just us. Unadorned, unembellished us. It's so hard to accept ourselves that way. Our culture is like those old west movie sets--a big facade on a building that's built like a box behind. If a wind storm blows the facade down, we look at what remains and think--well, that's not very interesting. Where's the sign? The architecture? Where's the fun in a boring, square structure? In reality, what's behind the facade is all that matters anyway. Denuded of our roles, we're left with what we've always been. Who we were was often great (and often not)--who we are now is where all the good stuff came from to begin with. We've lost a lot, but there it stands before us--the opportunity to remake ourselves.
