Calvin Coolidge:

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race


Somewhat of an underrated president, but maybe that's just me seeing a little bit of myself in him.

[Liquid_015]

So you've completely reversed the intent of his words?

Wat?

Well, I strongly believe that one's action do not truly illustrate a person's personality, but it is the organ that continues to beat each day keeping a person alive that truly defines who a person is. Since, Batman has a suit, we might not be as talented as Batman, but beneath our armor (skin) we have our hearts.

It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than 'Try to be a little kinder.'

“If you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
― Marilyn Monroe

I hate this quote in both this form and in it's unabridged form. I hate every person - man, woman, or child - who decided that they could shirk off all responsibility of bettering themselves by referencing the platitudes of an irrelevant smudge in Hollywood history, a woman most famous for enjoying a gust of wind and John F. Kennedy blowing through her crotch.

Wrong.

That line was said by Dutch in the film Predator. You're thinking of "Let off some steam, Bennet," which comes from the film Commando.

Well shit. It's been too long.

Seriously though, a couple of inspirational video that works for me:

Carl Sagan excerpts from Pale blue dot, with cool music + video to go with it.

No. He took an idea, quote and made something better of it.

Or one way you can look at it is we're not as ambitious or achieved much as Batman, so the first line doesn't make sense as we haven't done much.

Well, I strongly believe that one's action do not truly illustrate a person's personality, but it is the organ that continues to beat each day keeping a person alive that truly defines who a person is. Since, Batman has a suit, we might not be as talented as Batman, but beneath our armor (skin) we have our hearts.

When Rachel originally said...

Deep down you may still be that same great kid you used to be. But it's not who you are underneath, it's what you do that defines you.

...she was admonishing him for adopting the playboy millionaire lifestyle. She's saying that a person is or should be judged by their actions, not who they think they are. A good person who doesn't do good things is of no benefit to anyone. When Bruce-as-Batman repeats these words back to Rachel, he's both hinting at his identity and showing that fully understands the meaning behind her words. His appearance underneath the mask is unimportant compared to his impact on the world.

"It's not what I do, but who I am underneath that defines me."

This is saying the exact opposite. That a person should be judged by who they think they are, rather than what they do with their lives.

The exchange between Rachel and Bruce has is just a dramatic rendition of "action speaks louder than words".

Completely overposted on Reddit, but it's a fantastic quote. Oh, and it was uttered by a man who lived ~1900 years ago.

Charles Péguy has some pretty good ones.

Ripped straight for his Wikipage -- too lazy to personally verify.

"The sinner is at the very heart of Christianity. Nobody is so competent as the sinner in matters of Christianity. Nobody, except the saint."

"It will never be known what acts of cowardice have been committed for fear of not looking sufficiently progressive." (Notre Patrie, 1905).

"Tyranny is always better organised than freedom".

"It has never been given to a man to attain at once his happiness and his salvation."

"Homer is new and fresh this morning, and nothing, perhaps, is so old and tired as today's newspaper."

"He who does not bellow the truth when he knows the truth makes himself the accomplice of liars and forgers."

"A word is not the same with one writer as with another. One tears it from his guts. The other pulls it out of his overcoat pocket."

"It is impossible to write ancient history because we do not have enough sources, and impossible to write modern history because we have too many". (Clio, 1909)

"Everything begins in mysticism and ends in politics." (Notre Jeunesse, 1909)

So, OK, guys, right, it's 2012, yeah...

The hell's up with that?

 

[ThaneKrios]

"The offer of certainty, the offer of complete security, the offer of an impermeable faith that can't give way, is an offer of something not worth having;

I want to live my life taking the risk all the time that I don't know anything like enough yet; that I haven't understood enough; that I can't know enough; that I'm always hungrily operating on the margins of a potentially great harvest of future knowledge and wisdom, I wouldn't have it any other way, and I'd urge you look at those of you who tell you, those people who tell you, at your age, that you're dead until you believe as they do.

Don't think of that as a gift, think of it as a poisoned chalice; push it aside, however tempting it is. Take the risk of thinking for yourself. Much more happiness, truth, beauty and wisdom will come to you that way."

Christopher Hitchens
