"I suspect there is a difference between holding a stupid opinion about something and just being stupid. The latter is apparently incurable by reason, the former responds quite well to treatment."

Charlotte Brown

"Yes, the argument about being harmed or hurt on this list is a bit silly. That's not to say that a person's *feelings* might not be hurt but so what? If you want to argue something along the lines of permanent psychological damage, I'd argue that the train was off the track long before anyone here tried to pull up the rails."

"What I think about you is completely uninteresting, unless you agree with what I think, then itīs a problem for you if my thoughts are negative."

Lennart Frimodig

"You do not have to relate MBTI to brain function for it to be statistically valid. It needn't say anything about anything except 'These aspects of personality tend, statistically, to appear in clumps. Hence if you see enough of them in a person, you can postulate that others will also exist, and you will be right often enough for the correlation to be statistically significant.' That is all MBTI claims to do, as far as I know."

"Why is it that you can only go to heaven when you admit that you don't deserve to be there?"

Julia Helen Farmer

"It's good to know people still follow one of the 'censored lines' from the Bible: if thine brain offend thee, pluck it out."

Greg Gietzen

"Take over Canada? No American would ever say that. That's like saying we're going to take over Maine."

Beverley Eyre

"Only those who get their satisfaction from their place rather than their accomplishment work from loyalty."

"Immature behavior is characterized by dependency and trying to get needs met by others. It is also often characterized by being reactionary. This is because the nature of childhood is that you are dependent, having your needs met by other, more competent, people while you try to attain independence and competency for yourself. The dependent/independent urges are at war in immature people. They still have needs that are met by their caretakers, but they become reactionary (to authority) as they break away and try to become independent.
The day I became an adult was the day I decided to stop being a 'bad boy' (reactionary). I think I was in my early 30's."

"While all the runners in the stadium take part in the race, only one wins the prize. Run to win."

Jason Reigel

"The only reliable way to change the world is to change yourself."

"I will never again trade several people for one."

Dilshad Khan

"When situations get unbearable, anything that signifies change helps, even if it doesn't actually cause change."

Anee Lee

"In a merciful universe, nothing would happen."

Julia Helen Farmer

"I'd rather be lonely by myself than lonely amid other people."

Julia Helen Farmer

"It's unhealthy and dangerous to care more about someone's welfare than they do."

Dianne Whitley

"A constant defense gains no ground."

Mary Harris

"My shrink (just after I had nearly decided to do myself in, and chose to get outside help instead) asked me what I wanted to do with my life. I told my shrink I wanted to be a philosopher. He gave me a look and said, 'Get real.' He had a point. But what's real?"

Chris Porter

"Perhaps what is wrong with our society is the fact that it is trying diligently to hold on to a system of values that it no longer believes in."

Brian M. Stansberry

"The ability to synthesize multiple elements into something original is the basis of much creativity. If there's nothing new under the sun, then this is probably the closest we get to it."

Bill Brent

"I understand the motivations of all sorts of people. Faith applies to areas where understanding and/or knowledge is lacking."
