"I'll be back" from the Terminator franchise gets used quite often for me.

Basically whenever I leave momentarily to duck into the store or something, it's what I'll say.

Maybe not my favourite, but definitely my most used!

Incoming long list of TOL quotes: 

 

• The human race has a gift . . . that sets it above all the other creatures that abound upon this planet: the gift of thought, of reasoning, of understanding. The highly-developed brain. But the human race has ceased to develop. It struggles for petty comfort and false security; there is no time for thought. Soon there will be no time for reasoning, and Man will lose sight of the truth.

 

• What if you were to wake up to a different world tomorrow… a world of invaders? Would you raise your voice with the aliens, in a chant of remembrance and regret, bidding farewell to a vanished world? Or would you fight against those who might ultimately help us?

 

• The one certainty of the human experience is death. But what might happen when our effort to prolong the inevitable starts to turn that battle around? Will someone, or something, step in to ensure the final outcome?

 

• Man has always been fascinated with the concept of going back in time. The question is often asked, “If you could go back, would you do anything differently?” But what if it goes the other way? We never hear the question, “Would you do anything differently, if you could go forward?"

 

• Time is a river winding steadily through the landscape of tomorrow. There are those who would steal a glimpse around the next bend and those who would fight the current. But the wisest are those who turn their eyes from the waters and seek out a fellow traveler to share in the journey.

 

• Humankind has long tried to tame the forces of nature, to harness their power for our needs. But what if the very needs that drive us are the greatest power of all? Will we be able to control ourselves?

 

• It is said that God made man in his image, but man fell from grace. Still, man has retained from his humble beginnings the innate desire to create. But how will man’s creations fare? Will they attain a measure of the divine? Or will they, too, fall from grace?

 

• The Roman philosopher Boethius said, “In other living creatures, the ignorance of themselves is nature, but in men it is a vice.” Imagine treading into the deep recesses of one’s self and finding someone you never knew existed.

 

• When we look in a mirror we see a reflection of ourselves. But how much more powerful than this is the reflection we see in the eyes of another? Especially in the eyes of one we hold to be more beautiful than ourselves.

 

• A safe place, warm and quiet. A place to rest and recover. When all is said and done, isn’t that what we all want? A safe place in someone’s home… or someone’s heart.

 

• It is only human to dream of rising above one’s limitations. But what if we had the power to instantly acquire the qualities that we envy in others? Would it bring real fulfillment… or a hunger that can never be filled?

 

• Our history is filled with grim reminders of our inhumanity. Armies are crushed, populations ravaged, enemies imprisoned behind walls of stone. But the human spirit is not so easily confined.

 

• Young idealists often dream of having the power to save the world. But would that dream become a nightmare if saving the world could also mean destroying it?

 

• Do we have the power to shape our lives or are we predestined to be who we are? If our Fate is but one amongst many, then whose life, if anyone’s, is real? If our lives are indeed the sum total of the choices we’ve made, then we cannot change who we are. But with every new choice we’re given, we can change who we’re going to be.

 

• It is said we are judged, not by our words, but by our deeds. And yet, how many of us are ready to stand up to such scrutiny?

 

• Unless humankind awakens to the need to preserve it’s future, it may one day find itself asleep… for etermity.

My newest favorite quote is: "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart." - Mandela
It's great how there are many users here on the forums from different countries, and greeting them in their native language has made many of my friends here happy. It works in real life too; I have a few classmates at school who come from different countries, and saying a few words to them in their native language often makes them smile

Also, I like this one too: "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" -Gandhi
Pretty self explanatory. If everyone is mean to each other, then what good does that do?

EDIT: Just to be funny, I'm gonna add this one too:

”Political correctness is America's newest form of intolerance, and it's especially pernicious because it comes disguised as tolerance. It presents itself as fairness, yet attempts to restrict and control people's language with strict codes and rigid rules. I'm not sure that's the way to fight discrimination. I'm not sure silencing people or forcing them to alter their speech is the best method for solving problems that go much deeper than speech.”

Revenge can be a very crippling thing. Not only for the person it's being dished out to but to yourself and others around you.

''Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man, living in the sky, who watched everything you do evey minute of day of your life. And he has a list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place full of fire and smoke and ash and torture where he will send you to suffer and burn and scream and cry forever and ever until the end of time.............But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money!'' - George Carlin

Almost anything from Calvin and Hobbes

 

“Reality continues to ruin my life.”

 

“Sometimes when I'm talking, my words can't keep up with my thoughts. I wonder why we think faster than we speak. Probably so we can think twice.”

 

“I'm not dumb. I just have a command of thoroughly useless information.”'

 

[Ragland Tiger 3,386]

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends [themselves] in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, [if they fail], at least fails while daring greatly...
