It is the worst thing you can do, women, is whine, ... I mean the worst. Don't complain, protest. - Maya Angelou

Who can protest and does not, is an accomplice in the act. - Talmud

Mass civil disobedience can use rage as a constructive and creative force. - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence. - Leonardo da Vinci

Worse than apathy is defeatism. The defeatist recognizes the problem that the apathetic person doesn't see, yet has convinced himself that there is nothing he can do and therefore washes his hands of all responsibility. - Laurence Overmire

One who breaks an unjust law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law.   -  King Jr. Martin Luther

 

Réttlæti

á nýju ári verður maður að trúa því að réttlætið nái fram að ganga, annars sekkur maður í þunglyndi og vonleysi.

Sálmarnir 103:6

Drottinn fremur réttlæti og veitir rétt öllum kúguðum.

Orðskviðirnir 11:4-6

Auðæfi stoða ekki á degi reiðinnar, en réttlæti frelsar frá dauða.

Réttlæti hins ráðvanda gjörir veg hans sléttan, en hinn óguðlegi fellur um guðleysi sitt.

Réttlæti hinna hreinskilnu frelsar þá, en hinir svikulu ánetjast í eigin græðgi.

 

Isaiah 1.21-31

Those Who Walk Out on God

Oh! Can you believe it? The chaste city
   has become a whore!
She was once all justice,
   everyone living as good neighbors,
And now they're all
   at one another's throats.
Your coins are all counterfeits.
   Your wine is watered down.
Your leaders are turncoats
   who keep company with crooks.
They sell themselves to the highest bidder
   and grab anything not nailed down.
They never stand up for the homeless,
   never stick up for the defenseless.

 This Decree, therefore, of the Master, God-of-the-Angel-Armies,
   the Strong One of Israel:
"This is it! I'll get my oppressors off my back.
   I'll get back at my enemies.
I'll give you the back of my hand, purge the junk from your life, clean you up.
I'll set honest judges and wise counselors among you
   just like it was back in the beginning.
Then you'll be renamed
   City-That-Treats-People-Right, the True-Blue City."
God's right ways will put Zion right again.
   God's right actions will restore her penitents.
But it's curtains for rebels and God-traitors,
   a dead end for those who walk out on God.
"Your dalliances in those oak grove shrines
   will leave you looking mighty foolish,
All that fooling around in god and goddess gardens
   that you thought was the latest thing.
You'll end up like an oak tree
   with all its leaves falling off,
Like an unwatered garden,
   withered and brown.
'The Big Man' will turn out to be dead bark and twigs,
   and his 'work,' the spark that starts the fire
That exposes man and work both
   as nothing but cinders and smoke."

He who angers you controls you!

Hospital is a place where they wake you up to give you a sleeping pill.

Hurt people hurt people.
Whole people heal people.

"In the best of times, our days are numbered anyway. So it would be a crime against nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly, that it put off enjoying those things for which we were designed in the 1st place: the opportunity to do good work, to enjoy friends, to fall in love, to hit a ball, and to bounce a baby."

 Alistair Cooke

Crises refine life. In them you discover what you are.

- Allan K. Chalmers

In times of life crisis, whether wild fires or smoldering stress, the first thing I do is go back to basics... am I eating right, am I getting enough sleep, am I getting some physical and mental exercise everyday.

- Edward Albert

Vonin

Að hafa von er ekki að vona að allt verði í lagi heldur að vona að maður sjálfur verði í lagi sama hvernig hlutirnir verða.

Whatever you give a woman, she's going to multiply. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So - if you give her any crap, you will receive a ton of shit.

Kurt Vonnegut

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.

Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.
