"It is a vale of tears, a terrible trial of strength. For every inch we gain we fall back a mile. Life is there to be conquered Cathbad, but the price! The Price!"
Julius Caeser (from the novel Caeser by Colleen McCullough)
"Don't fear death. It is a mercy. It can be the preferable alternative to life. It is gentle, of that I am sure, though the manner of its coming may be painful. We do what is required of us, and then we are at peace."
Cato (from the novel Caeser by Colleen McCullough)
"No one should die alone."
Cato (from the novel Caeser by Colleen McCullough)
on a poster in my dad's garage:
"Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil. For I am the meanest son of a bitch there is"
I love that one. It's right next to one that points to a hand granade and is titled Japanese motorcycle repair kit. lol

I have heard that one before in a movie somewhere but they followed it with
"and I carry a big stick"
I bought The Lord of the Rings The Two Towers Extended Edition DVD set yesterday, man I love these movies! best ever. Here is one of my favorite quotes from the two towers:
"I can't do this, Sam."
"I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened."
"But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer."
"Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. Because they were holding on to something."
"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for."
-Frodo and Sam
The world owes you nothing...It was here first.
-Mark Twain
"If you want to test a man's character, give him power."
-Abraham Lincoln
"Men often stumble on the Truth, but usually dust themselves off & hurry away..."
- Winston Churchill

For cat lovers
"I love the abandonment of their sleep. The world might end, and they would dream on. So lovely. We of the gens humana have lost the gift of perfect sleep."
Calpurnia (from the novel Caeser by Colleen McCullough)
I used these two quotes in a recent Valedictorian speech I performed:
Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.
King Whitney Jr.
And:
When you feel in your gut what you are and then dynamically pursue it - don't back down and don't give up – by doing this, you're going to mystify a lot of folks.
Bob Dylan
