re: What are some of your favorite quotes/speeches?

A few hits attributed to Genghis Khan (some are disputed);

“An action comitted in anger is an action doomed to failure.”

“Be of one mind and one faith, that you may conquer your enemies and lead long and happy lives.”

“Conquering the world on horseback is easy; it is dismounting and governing that is hard.”

“It is not sufficient that I suceed – all others must fail.”

“The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters.”

“I am the flail of god. Had you not created great sins, god would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.”

“If you’re afraid – don’t do it, – if you’re doing it – don’t be afraid!”

"How ya like me now, gold teeth when I smile;
Tryin' ta take me out the ghetto but I'm still buck wild
....Hoody Hooo! That's the code for the killas"

A few from Theodore Roosevelt

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing."


"Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering."

“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”

Try to enjoy the here and now, because as much as you wish you could be 18-21 again, there will be a day and time in the future when you wish you could go back to the age and life you have RIGHT NOW.

"Knowledge is good."

Quite possibly the ugliest human ever born.
