<div>Someone who claims to be your friend. They tell you I will be at your house at a given time, so that you can do something together; Dinner, Ball game, Dancing or whatever the event. If that person dose not show up at the appointed time, at least 15 to 20 minutes late, or not at all. Is that person a true friend? This is a philosophical question and there are no right or wrong answers. I am just looking for some feedback.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://quotationsforthinkers.tribe.net">Quotations for Thinkers</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I just watched "Garden State" the other night, and to share my favorite quote from that movie (spoken by Natalie Portman): <br/> <br/>"If you can't laugh at yourself, life's gonna seem a whole lot longer than you'd like." <br/> <br/>Personally, I've found that many of the people I like -- and some of the better bosses that I've had -- are people who take their work seriously but don't take themselves too seriously. That is, I ggenerally seem to get along better with people who can laugh at themselves. I am also just fine when I'm watching a James Bond movie and hear Q or R say, "I never joke about my work, 007." :)</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://quotationsforthinkers.tribe.net">Quotations for Thinkers</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>When I was younger, I went to see the musical "Annie" and heard the lyrics to the song "Tomorrow": <br/> <br/>"The sun'll come out tomorrow <br/>Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow <br/>There'll be sun! <br/> <br/>Just thinkin' about tomorrow <br/>Clears away the cobwebs, and the sorrow <br/>'Til there's none! <br/> <br/>When I'm stuck with a day <br/>That's gray, <br/>And lonely, <br/>I just stick out my chin <br/>And Grin, <br/>And Say, <br/>Oh! <br/> <br/>The sun'll come out tomorrow <br/>So ya gotta hang on 'til tomorrow <br/>Come what may <br/>Tomorrow! Tomorrow! <br/>I love ya Tomorrow! <br/>You're always a day away!" <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>Then, when I was a little older, I saw Senator Diane Feinstein on television news, back when she was still mayor of San Francisco. Right before Thanksgiving, a television reporter was going around asking people on the street what they were thankful for. The mayor's smooth response was (as best I recall): <br/> <br/>'I'm glad to be alive because as long as I'm alive, there's tomorrow, and as long as there's tomorrow, there still hope.' <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>At a still later age, I read or heard about the famous speech from the Shakepearean play, "Macbeth": <br/> <br/>"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, <br/>Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, <br/>To the last syllable of recorded time; <br/>And all our yesterdays have lighted fools <br/>The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! <br/>Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player, <br/>That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, <br/>And then is heard no more: it is a tale <br/>Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, <br/>Signifying nothing." <br/> <br/> <br/>Now, just last week, I heard someone emphasizing the phrase "Tomorrow is never promised", which appears to be part of a larger anonymous quotation: <br/> <br/>"Live each day as if it is your last. Tomorrow is never promised." ~ Anonymous <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>Perhaps I'm getting more pessimistic as I get older, or else I've just found that writing about "tomorrow" quotes is a pleasant means of procrastination during lunch. :)</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://quotationsforthinkers.tribe.net">Quotations for Thinkers</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div> <br/>In describing the rebellions that broke out among the colonies of Athens during the Peloponnesian war, Thucydides has this to say in 430 BC: <br/> <br/>"...To fit in with the change of events, words, too, had to change their usual meanings. What used to be described as a thoughtless act of aggression was now regarded as the courage one would expect from a party member; to think of the future and wait was merely another way of saying that one was a coward; any idea of moderation was just an attempt to disguise one's unmanly character; ability to understand a question from all sides meant that one was totally unfit for action. Fanatical enthusiasm was the mark of a real man, and to plot against an enemy behind his back was perfectly legitimate self-defense. ...These parties were not formed to enjoy the benefits of the established laws, but to aquire power by overthrowing the established regime. ...As a rule, those who were least remarkable for intelligence showed the greatest powers for survival." <br/> <br/>Does any of this sound familiar?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://quotationsforthinkers.tribe.net">Quotations for Thinkers</a> - 14 replies </div>

<div>Eric Hoffer: <br/>The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. We are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://quotationsforthinkers.tribe.net">Quotations for Thinkers</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Alright, I'll try to share one of my favorite quotes. Frank Oppenheimer was a respected physicist and the founder of the Exploratorium, the renowned science museum in San Francisco. (I think Frank was also the brother of another famous physicist, J. Robert Oppenheimer, who directed the Manhattan Project.) In any case, if I remember correctly, Frank Oppenheimer was delivering a commencement address to a high school graduating class he had taught -- the McCarthy hearings had relegated Frank from physics researcher to high school teacher -- and he concluded with ... <br/> <br/> <br/>"I recommend that you be willing to become deeply involved in lots and lots of things, and that you let yourself, perhaps even force yourself, to do the things that you think are important and that you can take seriously. I make this recommendation because I believe that if you do, then even in the face of considerable adversity, you will feel, as I do now, grateful for having lived."</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://quotationsforthinkers.tribe.net">Quotations for Thinkers</a> - 2 replies </div>
