God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.

- Reinhold Niebuhr, "The Serenity Prayer"
 
In the early parts of Thoreau's Walden he covers a lot of ground, but in a section on clothing he makes a weird comment, which, as a zoo, is amusing.

"I have heard of a dog that barked at every stranger who approached his master's premises with clothes on, but was easily quieted by a naked thief."

Always makes me wonder where/how he came upon this little bit of knowledge.
 
"I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again."

-Ecclesiastes 3:18-20

You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong.

When two souls come together totally, it doesn't matter what their respective physical shapes they still fit together perfectly, as if they were made for each other.

A bit of wisdom my dad hit me with after a 12 hour day in a factory and I asked him why he worked so hard for a company that didn't care about him.
"Well son, I hate my job, but I take pride in my work. When I leave there will be nothing but my name left behind, and no one is gonna say that my work wasn't the best it could be."
He passed away last year and I miss him everyday.
 
"I don't usually flatter people, because it's so much easier to have them flogged in the square until they do as I damn well tell them."
 
"Eat shit. I fight wars. You have no idea do you? War is when you kill so many of the other side that they can't fight you any more. Prancing around on a meadow, isn't war. Stealing into a tent and cutting every throat in sight, is war. Poisoning wells, is war. Killing every baby in a town and disappearing, that's, war. War is for winning, and tracking that lunatic down into her secret rooms and surprising them to death. That's what I do. That's what I did. And you. Standing there flapping and posing, you're everything I hate. You vampires who think it's all about wit. I use the word loosely. Because you are a shit head for the ages. Being charming. Using cleaver words. Desperate for people to admire you, because you are special. Too much of the damaged needy human in you. You're not a vampire. I'm a fucking vampire. I lie. I cheat. Because lying to pigs is meaningless. And I'm hungry. I take everything anybody has. Every last fucking drop. And then I hunt for more. I am not a criminal. I am fucking perfect."
