What is your most memorable quote? Mine is "In a world where knowledge is forbidden, Knowledge is true power." I don't know who said it first but it is a great quote i LIVE BY WHEN LEARNING NEW STUFF.

Great quotes, everyone! I have many, the two I'm working with lately are "I am not what has happened to me. I am what I choose to become" - Carl Gustav Jung, psychologist and "...said the Queen. "...Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." Lewis Carroll, Alice In Wonderland

Hi there,His last name apparently went down to the next line - Dr. Jung, or "Uncle Carl" as I fondly refer to him, was one of the best psychologists that ever blessed this earth. His brand of therapy makes him more of a healer than a psychologist and I'd recommend reading any of his books over visiting some of the therapists out there today. He has many inspiring and healing quotes. He is best known for his groundbreaking work incorporating dream interpretation into therapy. He initially worked with Freud but continued the work on his own when he took issue with Uncle Siggy connecting everything to $ex. Both of them were pioneers in this area and Freud's work should not be discounted. He still had some valuable insight into the world of the unconscious. Jung also said that, "The dreamer is the only true interpreter of the dream."

Carl Gustav sounds like a very intelligent person.

I have never heard that one. Is it written some where or is it just something that was just spoke at one point?

Isaac Asimov's memoirs, which I read in the early 90's or so. Probably not anywhere else.

There are so many, but, this one is nice to remember when writing: "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." --Maya Angelou

mine would be, "to forgive is divine, but vengeance is sweeter." this was from the title Vengeance is not ours, its Gods. it really is a fact to most of us. I know most of you guys can relate about this.

"A democracy that will reduce a little freedom to increase a little security will deserve neither and lose both." One of the founding fathers said it and something i think is particularly relevant at the moment.

In todays environment that is a well spoken quote. To bad it was said 200 years before we really needed it. I think our forfathers had some insite that we didn't.

Yeah but I feel only to an extent. I say this because as long as man has had a written work man by instinct has to have some form of power or command.

The later of the quotes is nice. As I read them it tells me I need to do more to understand an issue than just be there.
