Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Lord Acton

Very topical quote for the countries which now are dominated by a single absolute leader who has the whole power in his hands.

[Faw_Peter]

True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

I like it because it's true. I would also say it's like the aliens. Maybe love is invented...

"You can have everything in life that you want if you just give enough other people what they want."
Zig Ziglar

Life is a balance I think, what you give you receive.

I like this one:
A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.

I'm trying not to pay attention to a woman's age and she becomes more beautiful!

“I laugh, I love, I hope, I try, I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry. And I know you do the same things too, So we're really not that different, me and you.”

you can tell this quote to a girl, when she says you are "so different". Prove her wrong.

[Terry]

"If you could choose one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor. "
...an optimistic one...

Ok, so here it is a famous quote (especially in business):

Greed is good.

Greed works.

Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.

Greed, in all of its forms -- greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge -- has marked the upward surge of mankind.

I remember these words from a movie, starring Michael Douglas. I forgot how it's called. The movie is about making money in New York.
So you Hakan seem to be very greedy, right?!

In fact, like actually - I'm not. I just love the way it expresses "the greed phenomenon".

[Terry]

be careful and never forget, dispite Mr. Douglas's words, greed is not good.

[Hakan G]

I cannot agree that greed didn't contribute to the evolution of the humankind, and should be treated only as a bad thing.
The economic competition is based on the greed aspect, and it marked the history with numerous innovations or even new inventions.

“The horizon has no limit, only possibility. But staring at it doesn’t help you get there. You have to act.”

[Faw_Peter]

A very good quote Hakan. I always think about myself - will I ever begin acting seriously and spend less words in vain...

[willyoumind]

Mine will be this quote: "Peace is her Glory; War is his Misery!"...

[Faw_Peter]

"One cannot subdue a man by holding back his hands. Lasting peace comes not from force"
this quote is very topical now for Georgia and Russia conflict.

Kanye West's song "Stronger"?

No.
Its Alexandra Dupre's motto on her myspace profile.
PS I don't support her actions, but I liked this words.

They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.

(for time wasters) Men talk of killing time, while time quietly kills them.

[Faw_Peter]

A wedding is just like a funeral except that you get to smell your own flowers. (oops )

Forgiveness is the key to action and freedom.

I dont know ifs exact this, but its something like this :

"A leaders heart is not in his chest, but in his head."

"Love truth, pardon error" - Voltaire.

I hate being lied to, and I always value the truth. I have a tendency to get real p***ed if someone lies to me but I need to just forgive and forget. It causes too many problems otherwise.

[neweuropean]

Well, lets see...

"Nuke'm 'till they glow, then shoot them in the dark."?... no...
"Kill them all, and let God sort them out."?... no...
"Our credit manager is Hellen Wait. If you want credit, go to Hellen Wait."?... not working...
"Don't start any vast projects with any half vast ideas."?... closer...

"No matter where you go, there you are!" ... I like it!
