[Kashmirilion]

No amount of guilt can change the past, and no amount of worrying can change the future. Go easy on yourself, for the outcome of all affairs is determined by lords decree.

If something is meant to go elsewhere, it will never come your way, but if it is yours by destiny, from it you cannot flee.

Umar ibn-khattab

Just different levels.

Just different devils.

The compelete quote was “... Power always finds a place to rest”.

Basically he is saying that the dynamics of power never cease to change no matter who is in charge.

Only the figures and ideologies change.

They're cool to listen to and look at, but I don't believe this quotes give motivation mumbo jumbo nonsense.

Yes I speak and understand Urdu/Punjabi but can’t write it. I have the opposite problem with Arabic.

No, it was another signature that you had in the last two weeks. I remember it being so good.

I heard late Christopher Hitchens using it in one of his debates with the evangelists.
Maybe you are right.

Hitchens’ Razor and quote on George Bush was comedic gold. (When he was still Governor of Texas)

His little incident with Thatcher even more so!

“Bow lower...no... much lower”.

"Put your trust in the lord, your a** belongs to me" The Warden to the inmates in Shawshank redemption. The delivery of the line and the atmosphere in the scene made it all the more intense.

You missed the two most memorable quotes of and related to the Warden.

“Why are you being so obtuse?”

“Man just got up and vanished like a **** in the wind”.

I tried that translation in Urdu for a joke, it fell flat.

But Shakira’s “My hips don’t lie” translation left the room in tears.

"You can't rush perfection so thank you for your patience."

That’s it.

I wonder why you changed it?

I'm just used to changing mine every so often. A bad habit, I know.

[GoUgandaCranes]

Recently, I've watched "Babylon 5" and the show is full of memorable quotes and long dialogues. One of them which resonates a lot with me is

"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."

There are also many more, and most of them basically if taken out of context wouldn't sound that amazing but still, a quote worthy show.

 

[Abdul]

"The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark."
