The only way to make sure people you agree with can speak is to support the rights of people you don't agree with.
~ Eleanor Holmes Norton ~ Congresswoman (D-DC) civil rights and feminist leader

...and then of course there's my sig line, very appropriate for here:
 
I'm not sure about all time, but these are some of my favorites:

"It is the nature, and the advantage, of strong people that they can bring out the crucial questions and form a clear opinion about them. The weak always have to decide between alternatives that are not their own." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy." - Again, Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children." - A third Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"I drank...what?" - Socrates, after drinking hemlock
"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one." - Spock, ST:II
"Sometimes, the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many." - Kirk to Spock, ST:III
"That his is mad 'tis true; 'tis true 'tis pity. And pity 'tis, 'tis true." - Polonius, Hamlet

As well as the quote at the bottom of my signature.

Here's another favorite:

As for my vices: much given to uncontrollable anger, extreme in everything, a profligate imagination when it comes to morals the likes of which the world has never seen, atheist to the point of fanaticism, in two words, let me say it once again: either kill me or take me as I am, for I shall never change.

- The Marquis de Sade

not as profound as the ones listed above but here goes....

"Appeasers believe that if you keep on throwing steaks to a tiger, the tiger will turn vegetarian."

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.
Galileo Galilei

"No. We have to stay here and there's a simple reason why. Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics and you'll get ten different answers, but there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on. Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll take Marilyn Monroe and Lao-Tzu, Einstein, Morobuto, Buddy Holly, Aristophanes .. and all of this .. all of this was for nothing unless we go to the stars."
Commander Jeffrey Sinclair, Babylon 5

"Don't look away, Captain. All life is transitory, a dream. We all come together in the same place, at the end of time. If I don't see you again here, I will see you, in a little while, in a place where no shadows fall."
Ambassador Delenn, Babylon 5
JMS

"You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe."
Ranger Marcus Cole, B5
JMS

"I am a Ranger. We walk in the dark places no others will enter. We stand on the bridge and no-one may pass. We live for the One, we die for the One."
Marcus, B5, JMS

"It was the end of the Earth year 2260, and the war had paused, suddenly and unexpectedly. All around us, it was as if the universe were holding its breath, waiting. All of life can be broken down into moments of transition or moments .. of revelation. This had the feeling of both. G'Quon wrote: There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope. The death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future, or where it will take us. We know only that it is always paved in pain."
Ambassador G'Kar, B5, JMS

"The universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice. The language is not narn or human or centauri or gaim or minbari. It speaks in the language of hope. It speaks in the language of trust. It speaks in the language of strength and the language of compassion. It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors speaking through us and the voice of our inheritors waiting to be born. The small, still voice that says: 'We are one. No matter the blood, no matter the skin, no matter the world, no matter the star... We are one. No matter the pain, no matter the darkness, no matter the loss, no matter the fear... We are one.' Here, gathered together in common cause, we begin to realize this singular truth and this singular rule that we must be kind to one another. Because each voice enriches us and ennobles us and each voice lost diminishes us. We are the voice of the universe, the soul of creation, the fire that will light our way to a better future. We are one."
"We are one."
G'Kar, the Alliance Preamble to the Declaration of Principles
JMS

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Frank Herbert, Dune, Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear

"There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, the sea's asleep and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song. And somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace. We've got work to do."

Two of my favorite quotes, both from Thomas Jefferson, are already above, one from MadKalnod and one from SmileyTkls.

But here is my most favorite quote, from Winston S. Churchill, from the first volume ("The Gathering Storm") of his six volume history, "The Second World War":

"Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than live as slaves."

To put it in historical context, he was speaking of the actions (and inaction) of Britain and France between the two world wars. 1936 was when they could have won easily, without bloodshed. 1938 was when victory would have been sure, and not too costly. 1939 was the actual situation when they did go to war, odds against them and only a precarious chance. The worse case would have come about if they had done nothing still after the invasion of Poland, September 1939.

well...

It's a hobby...I have a lot of them and I enjoy savoring them when time permits. There's a lot of good sites for anyone else who enjoys the flavor of a good quote...gotta love the internet! Q
 
Not True...

In 1936 Britain and France were just as unprepared for war as they were in 1939. Had they started the war then they both would have lost. The U Boat blitz would have started earlier, the technology to beat the Germans wasn't there yet and wouldn't be available until late 1942. The US would not have gotten involved in any way shape or form and were even weaker than Britain. The Japanese weren't even viewing a war with the US as necessary or desired in 1936. So there would have been no spark to get the US involved. No matter the outcome of the European war the US viewed the war against Germany as a strictly intramural affair and would not have gotten involved. Without the US Britain would have slowly strangled. The Brits waited until 1939 to do anything because that was her first reasonable chance to challenge the Germans without getting whupped. Things in history do not happen by accident. A 1936 start would have been a disaster for Britain. Churchill was a master of applying his version of historical context after the fact, BUT he usually did it incorrectly.

Tron
 
my favorite Churchill

Courage is the first of human qualities, because it is the quality which gaurantees all of the others.
- Winston Churchill
 
churchill was correct

I must agree with Winston, not with you.

While you are correct in saying that France and Britain were as unprepared in 1936 as they were in 1939, it is clear that Germany spent those three years getting more prepared, and gaining both territory and personnel. Some of the territory acquired was industrial.

The Germans built many airplanes, annexed Austria, took the Seudetenland, and invaded the rump of the Czech state. This gave them more industry, more soldiers, and gave Britain and France one less ally (the Czechs).

Also, in 1936, the Soviet Union had not yet signed a non-agression pact with Germany.

Some of the Austrian soldiers were quite zealous Nazis. Did you know that Austria comprised only 8% of the Third Reich in population after the Anschluss, but over 30% of the SS were Austrians? (Source: William Shirer in "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.")

As to how the war would have gone in 1936, we will never be able to prove anything, but it is indisputable that the German Reich had not yet gained these new territories, including potential soldiers willing to fight for the Reich.

I will agree with you that the entry of the United States into the war was crucial for the Allies.
 
More Churchill Bluster

My point is. Churchill was just putting on a front. I believe in 36 he was the First Lord Of The Admiralty and you MIGHT, if you feel like using your head, start looking into his assessments of British Military and Naval strength vs German strength. Again he made his statements about historical perspective AFTER the fact. Facts are in 1936 Churchill KNEW the Brits couldn't win a war against Germany. The RAF was just a pipe dream and over 40% of the British Fleet was being modernized AND more importantly she hadn't started a program of moder ship construction. Churchill KNEW they'd get thumped, It didn't matter what happened on land. Once the French were out of it so were the Brits. And France would have been crushed in 36 just as she wwas in 1940. Britain didn't have the capability to handle the Germans in 36. She simply didn't have the weapons. Churchill also knew Germany would have strangled British sea communicatoions and there was nothing Britain could do about it in 36. Technology hadn't caught up to the U Boat. Hell even when it did Britain was a few weeks away from being effectively removed as a viable protagonist. Churchill knew this, as was par for his course anything he said after an event, was blown out of proportion. Britain would have been whomped and most likely later on the US would have only fought a Pacific war.
About the only things Churchill was correct in were his predictions about the oncoming Russian Bear. He was right on the mark. Otherwise he was excellent at making himself look good after the fact.

After reading Q's....I don't feel so wordy now. :p @ Q! I've always thought there was more to a quotation than simply what the person said at the moment. Maybe it's the deconstructionist lurking in my brain, but I tend to read way too much into things. LOL! These are some of my favorites!

"Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead." - Admiral D.G. Farragut, 1864, at the Battle of Mobile Bay

"Cannon to the right of them,
Cannon to the left of them,
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell,
Rode the six hundred." - Afred Tennyson, "The Charge of the Light Brigade"

"Show me a thoroughly satisfied man, and I will show you a failure." - Thomas Edison

"For my confirmation, I didn't get a watch and my first pair of long pants like most Lutheran boys. I got a telescope. My mother thought it would make thebest gift." - Wernher Von Braun (For those who don't know, he was a rocket scientist worthy of note.)

John F Kennedy on Winston Churchill conferring honorary citizenship in 1963: "In the dark days and darker nights when England stood alone - and most men save Englishmen despaired for England's life - he mobilized the English language and sent it into battle. The incandescent quality of his words illuminated the courage of his countrymen."

"The average man is more interested in a woman who is interested in him than he is in a woman - any woman - with beautiful legs." Marlene Dietrich

And my favorite????

"Hitch your wagon to a star." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
 
Historian Shelby Foote told this story. If it's not true, it ought to be.

A Conederate soldier, guilty of some major transgression, was escorted under guard into General Robert E. Lee's office. Lee, seeing that the man was quaking with fear, said, "Do not be afraid. You will get justice here."

"General," the man replied, "that's exactly what I'm afraid of!"

I could'nt resist this one...........

Cat: Well I think it's time to put on the jet powered rocket pants and junior Birdman the hell outta here!

Kryten: An excellent and inventive suggestion sir, with just two minor drawbacks. Firstly we don't own any jet powered rocket pants. And secondly there is no such thing as jet powered rocket pants outside of the cartoon "Robbie Rocket Pants".

Cat: Well that puts a crimp on an otherwise damn fine plan.
