Ecclesiastes 3:1
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven
Hamlet, scene ii, Act IV
There’s a divinity that shapes our ends
Rough-hew them how we will
Dragonriders of Pern
Anne McCaffrey
When is a legend a legend? Why is a myth a myth? How old and disused must a fact be for it to be relegated to the category “Fairy-tale”? And why do certain facts remain incontrovertible while others lose their validity to assume a shabby, unstable character
Brekke
Is age a prerequisite for a loving heart? Does maturity always bring compassion?
Robintion
Silly people waste time assigning or assuming guilt.
F’lar
There are many ways of loving.
Lessa
Living was struggling to do something impossible—to succeed or die, knowing you had tried!
Ruth
Why explain anything?
Moreta
There is a point at which ought has little to do with actions.
Capiam
When bad fortune occurs, the unresourceful, unimaginative man looks about him to attach the blame to someone else; the resolute accepts misfortune and endeavours to survive, mature, and improve because of it.
Larad
Some customs need changing badly.
Cherry Duff
You never know when old information becomes new, viable and valuable.
Sean Connell
All the planning in the world sometimes doesn’t get you to the right point at the right time.
Orlith
Nothing will change yesterday. So now you must deal with today.
Alessan
The way to avoid arguments was to keep them from starting.
Star Wars
Qui-Gon Jinn
Your focus determines your reality
Starkiller
For the first time, he understood that the Force didn’t come in two shades only: dark and light, distinct and combative, never meeting in the middle to form gray. Those were ideals, and ideals existed solely for philosophers and theoreticians to argue over. In the real world, dark and light co-existed in varying proportions; nothing was ever static…we’re always moving, he thought, toward the dark or toward the light. It’s impossible to stand still…Some hovered eternally in gray, never entirely choosing a side. There were, in fact, no actual sides, just the direction in which one happened to be moving. It was all relative.
Bail Organa
We should be forgiving of those who fail.
Juno Eclipse
A life without hope was worse than no life at all.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Trust your feelings
Your eyes can deceive you. Don’t trust them.
There are alternatives to fighting.
You will find many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.
Yoda
Always in motion is the future.
Star Trek
Dr. Boyce
A man either lives life as it happens to him, meets it head on and licks it or he turns his back on it and starts to wither away.
James T. Kirk
Logic isn’t enough. I’ve got to feel my way.
Death, destruction, disease, horror. That’s what war is all about…That’s what makes it a thing to be avoided.
We can admit that we’re killers, but we’re not going to kill today. That’s all it takes.
Man stagnates if he has no ambition, no desire to be more than he is.
All men are brothers.
I don’t believe in the no-win scenario.
What I have done, I had to do.
May fortune favour the foolish.
I don’t want my pain taken away! I need my pain.
Some people are afraid of what might happen.
Spock
I neither enjoy the idea of command nor am I frightened of it. It simply exists.
I’m not interested in the opinion of the majority.
If there are self-made purgatories, then we all have to live in them. Mine can be no worse than someone else’s.
Pain is a thing of the mind. The mind can be controlled.
Leonard McCoy
We all need our darker side. It’s half of who we are.
Life and death are seldom logical.
War is never imperative.
