"A karate class is not a stage upon which the superior talent emerges and is dramatized.  The karate class is a community of mutual responsibility where the weakest are strengthened, not where the strongest are glorified.  The sensei creates within the class the commitment to cooperation and responsibility, and in this atmosphere is the greatest learning made possible."

 - Sadaharu Kurobane

Disrespect you and treat you bad,
Let God deal with the things they do,
'cause hate in your heart will consume you too."

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing."

 - Muhammad Ali

“A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual’s morals are situational, that individual is without morals. If a nation’s law are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn’t a nation.”
 
“What did you say?”
 
“Are you really so scared of terrorists that you’ll dismantle the structures that made America what it is?”
 
“The fuck--“
 
“If you are, you let the terrorists win. Because that is exactly, specifically, his goal, his only goal: to frighten you into surrendering the rule of law. That’s why they call him 'terrorist'. He uses terrifying threats to induce you to degrade your own society. It’s based on the same glitch in human psychology that allows people to believe they can win the lottery. Statistically, almost nobody ever wins the lottery. Statistically, terrorist attacks almost never happen.”

Live in joy, in love,
Even among those who hate.
Live in joy, in health,
Even among the afflicted.
Live in joy, in peace,
Even among the troubled.
Be still; take a breath,
Know the sweet freedom of the way.

"It's the view of the more thoughtful historians, particularly those who have spent time in the same bar as theoretical physicists, that the entirety of human history can be considered as a sort of blooper reel. All those wars, all those famines caused by malign stupidity, all the determined, mindless repetition of the same old errors, are in the great cosmic scheme of things only equivalent to Mr Spock's ears falling off."

 - Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference.
The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference.
And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.

 - Elie Wiesel, Oct 1986
