Winners never quit and quitters never win.
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Quotes:
No one has ever loved anyone; The way everyone wants to be loved
Life can seem ungrateful and not always kind, It can pull heartstrings and play with your mind..Take Life and give it your best!
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss ends with a tear.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart.
Helen Keller
Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything good in the world.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure.

wow, I have many favorite quotes.. Here it is:
“The greatest crime since World War II has been U.S. foreign policy.” -- Ramsey Clark, former U.S. Attorney General
"The truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear." -- Herbert Sebastien Agar (it is my number one favorite quote)
"Did you notice that Conservatives don't have arguments--just rants, whines and point their fingers at others?" -- Göran Persson, Swedish Prime Minister
"Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change." -- Confucius
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." -- Albert Einstein (number four favorite quote)
"Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives." -- John Stuart Mill
"For americans, it takes 10 years for them to learn one simple thing which takes other well-developed countries such as Sweden, Denmark, UK and Holland to learn in merely two days. It is indeed sad." -- my danish ex-girlfriend, Agenta
"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." -- Napoleon
"Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated, and drunkenness sobered, but STUPID lasts forever" -- Aristophanes (Number three favorite quote)
"Be a doctor because Americans have never learned that whoever eats conventional and junk food will end up in the hospital in no time. Let's leech their money and live off your luxuries on their suffering and stupidity." -- Famous German doctor who came to university of berkeley to gave a lecture on heart disease in America (I was there at that time and it is my number five favorite quote)
“Every time we do something, you [Shimon Peres] tell me America will do this and will do that... I want to tell you something very clear: Don’t worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it.” -- Ariel Sharon
"A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned to walk forward." -- Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882 - 1945), radio address, Oct. 26, 1939
"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness." -- Galbraith, J.K.
"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official. The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else." --Theodore Roosevelt, a Republican president May 7, 1918 -- DURING World War 1 (bestest and the most important quote ever I heard for many years)
"Bush in office does what Osama wants: divides the US and unites most of the civilized world against the US. What more could he want? Bush is Osama's candidate - now there's a meme." -- Ted Delaney, UK Politican
"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." -- I couldn't find who says that..
"Democracy arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal." -- Aristotle
"Bible say something about "judge not, lest ye be judged." Well, 'ye' means YOU! As in, it is not your place to judge." -- my pal, moderate republican to conservative republican at the pub.
"Bush turned me into a democrat. I'll never forgive him for that." -- CEO of Recycle Plants to reporters
"In Germany they came first for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me--and by that time no one was left to speak up." -- Martin Niemöller (thanks to sablescort for that wonderful quote)
"If by a 'Liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a 'Liberal', then I'm proud to say I'm a 'Liberal.'" -- John F. Kennedy, President
"There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved." -- George Sand
NOTE: It is not my intention to offend conservatives with these quotes... these quotes are simply fascinating, nothing more or less than that. I am more than sure that there are anti-liberal quotes so if you feel that you want to counter back at me with these quotes, be my guest... but just don't make yourself look like a fool out of that, it is not my fault. That's all
