I just wanted to sample what everybody's favourite quote(s) was. Here are a couple that I love to think of in times of need:
Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
No one is better than you. And you are better than no one.

interesting thread.. I suppose we all can learn from each others' fav. quote here.
My fav. quotes are
1. Its not our differencecs that divided us, its our inability to accept, recognize and celebrate those differences. (forgot who said it..)
2. I love you for not what I am for you, but what you are for me..
3. An idea is not worthy of being called an idea, if its not a dangerous one (oscar Wilde)
4. You will change, once you realize that its better to change than to suffer.
not so intellectual quotes, but.. i love these, most of these were on murals in my school.

I have four favorite quotes which I got from reading one of the popular self-help books( don't know it's name now). They are:
"The fountain of content must spring up in the mind, and he who hath so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition wil waste his life in fruitless efforts and multiply the grief he proposes to remove" ( Samuel Johnson)
"The power to make and keep commitments to ourselves is the essence of developing the basic habits of effectiveness" ( Anon)
"What lies behind us and what lies before are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." (Oliver Wendell Holmes)
" I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by concious endeavor" ( Henry David Thoreau)

The quote I live by:
[Copied from Ashu's posting in this site from last year)
"What is success?"
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of people and the affection of adults and children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics, and
endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by healing a child or a garden
patch, or by redeeming a social condition,
To know even one life has breathed easier because you lived.
That is to have succeeded."

You don't mind my keeping this thread alive, do you? So here goes:
========================================
Money is not everything.
There are MasterCard & Visa.
One should love animals.
They are so tasty.
Save water.
Shower with your girl friend.
Love the neighbor.
But don't get caught.
Behind every successful man, there is a woman.
And behind every unsuccessful man, there are two.
Every man should marry.
After all, happiness is not the only thing in life.
The wise never marry.
and when they marry they become otherwise.
Success is a relative term.
It brings so many relatives.
Never put off the work till tomorrow
what you can put off today.
Love is photogenic
It needs darkness to develop
Children in backseats cause accidents
Accidents in backseats cause children
"Your future depends on your dreams"
So go to sleep
There should be a better way to start a
day than waking up every morning
"Hard work never killed anybody"
But why take the risk !
"Work fascinates me"
I can look at it for hours !
God made relatives;
Thank God we can choose our friends.
When two's company, three's the result!
A dress should be like a barbed fence
It protects the premises without restricting the view
The more you learn, the more you know,
The more you know, the more you forget
The more you forget, the less you know
So.. why learn.

Child Psychology:
If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him
is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another
cute thing to tell him is "probably because of something you did."
One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to
take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old
burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said, "Disneyland burned
down." He cried and cried, but I think deep down he thought it was
a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but
it was getting pretty late.

_BP ji,
Professors usually have a Ph.d. degrees, but, its not a requirement.
If you go to many law schools and school of economics, there is
scarcity of enough Ph.D. wallas, as in Engineering. In Eng. and Science
getting PH.D. is easy once you get an enrollment, but, in social sciences
and economics to law if any one has
gotten Ph.D. honestly, then, s/he is really a great person.

About Hallucinogens
AKA: acid, cid, blotter, illusion, lysergic acid diethylamide, LSD, magic mushrooms, mushrooms, shrooms, PCP or Angel Dust.
What are hallucinogens?
Hallucinogens, big surprise, are drugs that make you hallucinate. Thy change your thought process, mood and perceptions. The most popular are acid and mushrooms.
What do they look like?
Acid usually comes in the form of a small, saturated piece of paper (a blotter) that users place on the tongue, where it infuses into the blood stream. Mushrooms look like dried mushrooms. (These aren't the same mushrooms you find on your pizza--there are thousands of different kinds of mushrooms. Hallucinogenic mushrooms are unique, and contain a poison which can make you feel "high".)
What would you do if someone offered you one? Try out some scenarios so you'll be prepared here
What do they do?
Hallucinogens' effects vary greatly, and even unpredictably. In many cases, the five senses start to play tricks on people using the hallucinogens, and they lose their sense of time and direction. With LSD the physical effects include dilated pupils, higher body temperature, increased heart rate and blood pressure, sweating, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, dry mouth, and tremors. More extreme reactions can make users become very strange and can be violent against themselves or others in their confusion of what they are experiencing. Occasionally, heart or lung failure can occur. NIDA
But the real problem with hallucinogens is they distort users sense of reality. People on acid or mushrooms start to believe they can fly, or drive 1000 miles an hour, or whatever. Thousands of people end up in emergency rooms with injuries they caused themselves while "tripping." NCADI
The scariest part is that you never know how they'll affect you, or why. Each experience could end up completely different. Sometimes users only feel a little tingly or detached from reality. Other times they feel violent. Other times they become disoriented, confused, or delirious. Mood swings become like huge roller-coasters. Trippers may even sit in the corner doing strange, repetitive movements, like picking scabs.
This all lasts for up to 12 hours, and flashbacks can occur years after using. (A flashback is like a re-lapse--science hasn't totally figured out what the deal is, but it's like your brain "flashes back" to your previous trip. It's never good, and freaks you and everyone around you out.) Another problem is that you never know what you are getting. Most of these drugs are prepared in underground labs and there is no guarantee that what you're getting isn't mixed with something else.
I've heard that hallucinogens aren't even addictive. So what is the big deal?
Well, hallucinogens aren't quite like cocaine or alcohol or nicotine-in that, you don't start needing more as soon as you come down. But if you keep taking hallucinogens, each time you'll need more to get as high. Unfortunately, taking too much can kill you. And no one ever knows exactly how much "too much" really is.
