Remembered another favorite: "If you don't know where you are going you may end up somewhere else." -- Yogi Berra --

[Pablo Rafael]

I love this line from the old Soviet movie Ballad of a Soldier. (A worthwhile movie by the way.) The main character (the soldier) stowsaway on a freight train and is confronted by a rather ineffectual guard. The soldier argues with him and finally tells him that he is "a piece of shit." The guard replies,
"From your point of view I may be a piece of shit, but from my point of view I'm precious."
I find this quote useful when anyone calls me something uncomlimentary. Inert appropriate word or phrase and it totally throws them off guard and at the same time let's them know they can't get to me.

I have a lot of them. One I have used is:

"Never let others define who you are".

Which reminds me of Madea (Tyler Perry): "Honey, it ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to."

There are people who go after your humanity, Sister, that tell you that the light in your heart is a weakness. Don't believe it. It's an old tactic of cruel people to kill kindness in the name of virtue.

"What we desire for ourselves, we wish for all." J.S. Woodsworth

J.S. Woodsworth was a Canadian Member of Parliament in the 1930s, and a member of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), the predecessor of the New Democratic Party (NDP).

This quotation is the reason I stay active in politics.

“My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.” Jack Layton

Jack Layton was the leader of the federal NDP in Canada. He took the NDP from third party status to Official Opposition status in the in the May 2011 federal election. A few months later, he passed away after a battle with cancer.

Woodsworth and Layton were both EVIL Canadian socialists.

"You can't do only one thing." John W. Campbell's Law

John W. Campbell was a science fiction writer and founder of the magazine now known as Analog. His "law" is sort of about the law of unintended consequences; Campbell was saying that every action has some kind of unintended consequence.

One very creepy example of that is from a news item I came across a few years ago. Canadian cities were really cracking down on prostitution. The unintended consequence of that was it increased demand for child prostitutes because a 25-year-old undercover policewoman can pass for 18 but not 12.

Another example would be those life-saving pharmaceuticals that sometimes have nasty side-effects.
