Here are some of my favorites.

 

Maybe I'm getting to the age when I'm starting to be senile or nostalgic or both, but people are so angry now. You used to be able to disagree with people and still be friends. Now you hear these talk shows, and everyone who believes differently from you is a moron and an idiot - both on the Right and the Left. (Clint Eastwood)

 

Why talk about religion when there are so many real or actually important things to talk about? (Stanley Kubrick)

 

A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death. (Albert Einstein)

 

Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one. (Bruce Lee)

 

This is the life we chose, the life we lead. And there is only one guarantee -- none of us will see heaven. (Road to Perdition - 2002)

 

What we do know is that, as the chemical window closed, another awakening took place; that the human spirit is more powerful than any drug - and THAT is what needs to be nourished: with work, play, friendship, family. THESE are the things that matter. This is what we'd forgotten - the simplest things. (Awakenings - 1990)

 

Some men aren't looking for anything logical. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn. (The Dark Knight - 2008)

 

Every man dies, not every man really lives. (Braveheart - 1995)

 

As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up ways to kill one another. Why do you think we invented politics and religion? (The Mist - 2007)

Another one that's not really a favorite but a very true one, from one of the recent Indiana Jones or 007 movies (I don't remember which).

 

 

"It appears you're getting to the age where life stops giving, and starts taking away."

"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious."

 

Vince Lombardi
