Proverbs, they come from every where. Some are made up on the spot and then the credit is given to some wise man who usually lives in China. Let us make a list of both real and fake proverbs.

Sig on Demonoid
Courage is not the absents of fear, it is the ability to over come it.

Random Sig from 2001
When they came for the sinners, I said nothing
When they came for the traders, I said nothing
When they came for the pirates, I said nothing
When they came for the guilty, I said nothing
And when they came for me, no one was left to say anything.

Unknown
A stone at the top of a hill is the same as one at the bottom, until someone pushes it.

Unknown
Shoot for the moon, if you miss you'll land among the stars.

Footsteps
As I walked on the beach of life I happened to turn and I saw two sets of foot steps. I asked of god, who the second steps belong to and he said, "Those are my footsteps." but just as he said that I noticed the during the hardest parts of my life there was only one set of foot prints, and I asked god why this was so, and he responded "It was during those times, that I carried you"

Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change,
The courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference between the two.

Kayot - Living Alone
Sometimes when I dream, I have moments when my sanity returns
Then I awake and in the time between asleep and awake
I remember what it was like to have dreams.
... But then the madness returns, and while I cry the dark screams remain inside.

Mirage -
" Coming together is a beginning. Staying together is progress, and working together is success."

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes;

A faithfal friend is a strong defense: and he that hath found such one. Hath found a treasue.

I'll post more later... And try not being too Emo

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall."

"Friendship brings two people together even if they take different roads in life."

"Friends are the people that walk in when the whole world walks out..."

"A life without taking chances.
Is no kind of life at all.
You got to stand up for something.
Even if you might fall."

two of my favorites, which i use in class frequently,

"There are no stupid questions, just stupid people."

and

"It is better to let people assume you are stupid, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
