Hmm... I got quite a few, even though most of them I heard somewhere else and sound more or less like a piece of advice than a quote, well you judge for yourself. I'll list around ten for now.

-To those for whom much is given, much is required
-Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. >from Martin Luther King i think<
-In ta beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in an experts mind there are few.
-The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement, the opposite of a profound truth, is another profound truth.
-The more you know the less you understand
-Imagination is intelligence having fun.
-Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair but manifestations of strengths and resolution.
-Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. > that was from mother teresa<
-What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
-Opportunities multiply as they are seized.

I think that's how they are said, well that's how I remember them.

[Vextor]

Ooh ooh, I have one.

"The more pancakes you eat, the fatter you get."

That is an undeniable truth!

[Ayemelek]

"Let not entropy taint your smoldering golden spirit."

There's a fairly random quote whose origins I am unsure of. Let it guide you down the path to righteousness.

A truly great mind is capable of accepting both science and religion.

That came from one of my favorite teachers, whose class I initially did not want to be in cuz I thought he was old and dumb. Never had a better teacher.

[Drizzt]

LOL Sars and Fliktor. I have a couple I have heard around here and there...

"Mercy is precious, but mercy can also be an indulgence."
"He who is patient, obtains."

My W.O.W is....
Real Knowledge is to the extent of one's ingnorance This W.O.W's author is none other than Confucius.

My own personal W.O.W is...
When you walk down a dark alley and see a large guy with a baseball bat, walk the other way.

Okay... Ten more.

-My father once told me that there were two kinds of poeple: Those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try and be in the first group; there were much less competition.
-Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.
-Out of intence complexities, intence simplcities emerge.
-We can get over being poor, but it takes longer to get over being ignorant.
-I you can imagine it, you can create it. If you can dream it, you become it.
-Trust in yourself. Your perceptions are often more accurate than you are willing to believe.
-Do not fear mistake. There are none.
-No one can give you wiser advise than yourself.
-I have not failed. I have only found 10000 ways that won't work.

This next last one i have just thought up myself.

-I have never sinned in my life. Fate has sinned by choosing my path and destiny.

well... it sound good whe I thought of it.

My goofy 8th grade science teacher wrote a saying on his board daily or weekly--can't remember. At some point, he wrote old sayings again. Here is a sample that is probably not word for word: "Harbors are safe places to keep ships, but that is not what ships were made for." "If you want to be a roll model, be a fritter or maybe even a cinnamon roll." "Two paths diverged into the wood and I...I hey where the heck am I?" "A journey of 1,000 miles begins with a restroom break." "Only dead fish go with the current." My goofy high school biology teacher once said something like this: "There are two types of people, those who are going insane and those who have already succeeded." Somewhere I have a list of all the sayings my 8th grade science teacher wrote on his board. I once saw in his yahoo! instant messenger profile the saying "Dream like you'll live forever, live like you'll die tomorrow."

One of my favorites...maybe more later.

"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter."

Im not sure if this is a w.o.w but its interesting

Usually its the pessimest who says the glass is half empty and the optimist says that the glass is half full. But if the optimist says that the glass is half full, didnt he expect the glass to only half filled, while the supposed passimest is lamenting on the fact that the glass wasnt full and only half empty?

i remember my p.e teacher used to say this to us...

"Learning will only transpire if there is change"
