    little quote I have come to love because it is so true:

    A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.
    George S. Patton

    That one made me laugh. I like it. It seems to go along the lines of "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."

    Ok, what about this one?

    "An ideal form of government is democracy tempered with assassination." - Voltaire

    I'm starting to think that Voltaire is my favorite philosopher of all time.

    I can see that one back when assassination was a certified way to kill your target.

    Yeah, Voltaire was alive back at the end of the 17th, and the beginning of the 18th century in France. He was a key writer of the French Enlightenment. (Also, some believe he worshiped the devil)

    I solve practical problems."

    Ok guys, I just got an awsome quote from my grandfather - "A drip of water wears down a stone"
    Like, at first you don't succeed, try and try again. But it also goes along with the thought that a little over a long time adds up.

    Yeah, I guess you're right. The first was just me trying to add a little extra deep thought to the subject. It's a philosophy thread, sue me! :)

    Some more of the whole experience motif popping up once more I see.
    Interesting, but not too surprising. If experience defines who we are and what we do then evidence of this is bound to be everywhere.

    Have another quote:
    "it is not our abilities that define us, but rather what we do with them." -Albus Dumbledor

    ^ Albus Dumbledore For The Win ("You may not like it minister, but you cannot deny... Dumbledore's got style...")

    Another great Dumbledore quote; "To the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."

    And of course, my favorite of all time; "Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!"

    "Curiosity killed the cat, satisfaction brought him back."

    I love this quote.

    It may not roll off the tounge as much... but I always heard, "Curiosity killed the cat, but it also caused scientific discoveries that brought it back.” O_O

    Kind of lame now that I think of it…
