"Strength does not come from what you can do, it comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't."
 
"To be the man you gotta beat the man! WOOO! WOOOOO! WOOOO!"

"The first thing I want to be done is to get that piece of crap out of my ring. Don't just get him out of the ring, get him out of the WWF, because I proved, son, without a shadow of a doubt, that you ain't got what it takes anymore! You sit there, and you thump your Bible, and you say your prayers, and it didn't get you anywhere. Talk about your Psalms, talk about John 3:16 - AUSTIN 3:16 SAYS I JUST WHIPPED YOUR A**! All he's gotta do is go buy him a cheap bottle of Thunderbird and try to get back some of that courage he had in his prime. As the King of the Ring, I'm servin' notice to every one of the superstars. I don't give a damn what they are, they're all on the list, and that's Stone Cold's list, and I'm fixin' to start runnin' through all of them. As far as this championship match is considered, son, I don't give a damn who it is. Steve Austin's time has come, and when I get the shot, you're lookin' at the next Champion, and that's the bottom line because Stone Cold said so!"

"In three days, the British people will choose who they want to lead this country through the next five years. Five years that will define the future of our country for generations to come.

Strong and stable leadership to guide Britain through the years ahead. And we need that strong leadership now more than ever."
 
"Just give me three chances pretty please" hehehe
 
"This is a message to the big stiff weight lifter that can't fight, big Anthony Joshua, the big tough man, wannabe gangster.

He told me to get fit, the "fat f," it's a new one as he usually doesn't swear as he's not himself. So he's being himself now, which is good.

To be honest with you me old mate, I don't need to get fit for somebody like you at all, I'll come to you and punch your face right in, even at 25 stone.

I really don't need to get fit so I really don't need to get fit for you, put it that way. I've seen what you're all about. You fought a midget [Carlos Takam] the other day in a hard fight.

The referee had to stop it in case you got caught or beat. Bum City like I always said: no gas, no stamina, too many weights. You want to practice on a bit more speed and less power. Bum.

I do not care about you! Like I told you before I'll punch your face in bad boy.

Fighting to me is easy and slapping punks like you is even easier. Good to see Eddie has let you off your leash for the day. But he better put you back on before you get bitten."

I take a look at my life and realize there's none left
'Cause I've been brassing and laughing so long that
Even my mamma thinks that my mind is gone "

That's incorrectly attributed to Voltaire actually. There are many other versions of the same quote credited to many other people before and after him.
 
My favourite Ghalib quote is

"Manzil milegi bhatak kar hi sahi,
Gumrah to woh hai jo ghar sai nikle hi nahi."

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

Dude you just copy pasted that, misspellings and all.

However, jirah kar diya zaalim. Such profoundness and total disregard for religion. I like how they opposed religion using such poetry before that even their own admirers wouldn't notice it. I doubt they would understand the nuances even now. That is the power of an elevated command of a language.
 
[Quran 17:36] You shall not accept any information, unless you verify it for yourself. I have given you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brain, and you are responsible for using them.
 
Btw whoever is a real Ghalib fan should see the the TV series (aired on Doordarshan) on his life. Naseerudin Shahs portrayal of the master along with the soundtrack composing of his ghazals sung by Jagjit Singh, especially Tere Khushboo Mai Likhe Khat will change your life.

Doubtful claim, especially for the believers. I have verified all the information and it is mostly false.

I suggest you read the quote again.

In simple terms, it means that one should not accept information blindly. One should verify it.

If you found the information to be false, then that is completely irrelevant.
 
"The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there."

"This Too Shall Pass."

"Revenge is a dish best served cold."

I was just replying to someone who suggested eating more meat was a solution for climate change and tends to troll people by bringing nonsensical religious arguments in all matters. Was I ever in YOUR face? No, because you didn't use religion to troll people. So chillax.

“Lal dewar par Lika tha Ghalib ne chune ke sath... yaha likna mana hai”.
“Hathon Kee lakeron pe maath ja aye Ghalib, un ke bhee naseeb hote hai jinke hath nahi hote”.
These can not be quoted directly from Ghalib but they are too good not to share.
And finally...
“Bura hai ya acha, me nahi chata logh mere bare soche,
Is se bulana kitna mushqil kuu hai, bus yahe chata hun ke log mere bare soche”.

Bhai Saab, if you had chosen not to comment on his quote about a religious text, this could have been avoided.
 
"Khade hain pyase ana ke iis bharose par ke chal ke aaega ek din kuaan hamari taraf."
 
My favorite one is obviously by ghalib
"Umar bhar ghalib yeh hi bhool karta raha..
Dhool chehre pe thi aaina saaf karta raha...
 
here my favorite quote

hen the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money.
 
"Even if I drink water, I gain weight"

"Mickey Arthur abused me in front of Mushi Bhai and Inzy Bhai and it was very SHARAMFUL"

100%.

If all it takes is a quote form the word of Allah to flummox and reduce an individual to talk of cattle, then it exposes the fear. Why cattle when said individual can open up a pig farm and dig on swine.

No fear really, just exposing the double standards and failed attempts at trolling. I am a free man and can eat whatever I want, don't need a person from the desert 1500 years ago or his followers telling me what I can and cannot do.

Surely it is just a quote about the importance of thinking critically and independently, therefore could be widely applied. Despite the source, not a “religious quote” per se.

Enjoy!!
 
Per se, yes. I was pointing out the irony. It is a verse pretending to promote critical thinking but like any other religious text there are many other verses that encourage the opposite. I was just talking about the intention of the OP and most religious people who are the first to talk about critical reflection but no where to be seen once it opposes their own false beliefs.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

Mahatma Gandhi .
 
Hmmm , There is no record of Gandhi saying this quote . Nevertheless, it is mostly attributed to him describing the stages of a winning strategy of nonviolent activism because I think it is closely related to it. Guess you learn something new every day.
 
"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.
