Thanks to E. Gadd for this inspiration! You know how E. Gadd does his word of the day? Well, this thread is the Quote of the Day in which I post deep, quotes and feel free to interpret what it means and just discuss! Ready?

"To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true."
- Aristotle
This'll be fun. Personally I don't care much for Aristotle (or many other Ancient Greek philosophers for that matter) but this topic should be fun.
Btw, that quote is basically saying "Saying that something does not exist when it does, or that something does exist when it doesn't is false, but saying something does exist when it does, and that something doesn't exist when it does not, is true."
Like... no shit. XD
Aristotle, trumping Captain Obvious since something something B.C.
XD
Should've picked a better quote. Dang it. :/
Hey, you're building your thread, though! At least this shows people have had awareness on the level of existent and nonexistent since Ancient Greek times!
Thanks E. Gadd. :)
Do you think once a day is enough or should I do more per day (if it's too obvious like that?)
What's your opinion?
Ya know, that theory was actually one of the reasons why long ago everyone thought the earth didn't move around the sun, but vice versa. The quote means "If you perceive something, then that's the truth." We don't see the earth move and we see the sun spinning around the earth, therefore we are the center of the universe.
Which was essentially Aristotle's philosophy in a nutshell; that the greatest level of reality is what we can perceive with our senses. On the other hand, Plato argues that there is a pure idea of everything in existence, and that everything in the world is a variation/mutation of it.

Once a day, just to keep from overwhelming the people, thread, and board.
Quote from: Bloop on April 30, 2016, 11:10:43 AMtherefore we are the center of the universe.
You know, technically that's correct.
The center of the universe is everywhere: take the fact that it's expanding. From any given point, it seems as the universe is expanding outward from that point. Make sense?
yeah yeah okay the center of the universe is either everywhere or nowhere
Change it to the center of the solar system then
So, the sun is at the center of our solar system, yes?
Yup, and it's called heliocentrism.
Currently we accept that as truth (because science), but centuries ago people accepted geocentrism (earth is the center of our solar system) as truth.
Do you know why they thought the earth was at the center? Was it because their sense of depth and perception was very limited until technology came along?
Google exists for a reason.
I don't like searching up on Google. I just want to hear people's responses about it, on NSM. If that's wrong, I will gladly use Google.
Well, it kinda makes sense to jump to that conclusion. Like I said, from our point of view, we can see the sun spinning around the earth. There have been some individuals who believed the sun was the center, though, even before Galileo Galilei: Copernicus, Hypatia, and probably some more I don't know because I have not done that much research. At the time of Copernicus and Galilei, the reason why it was not accepted was mainly the church being stubborn and stuff.
Yeah, the Catholic Church saw it as advantageous to keep the general mindset simplistic so it could exercise absolute control over everything in an of the world. The second people started thinking for themselves, the second they realized that the church wasn't necessary as a mediator for God.
That had to do more with the Age of Enlightenment, and people becoming more knowledgeable after the invention of the printing press. People before then never actually read the Bible unless you were a member of the clergy.

Quote from: Bloop on April 30, 2016, 11:10:43 AMThe quote means "If you perceive something, then that's the truth."
You seem knowledgeable on the subject, but that isn't what I got from that at all. What I got was the following:
"To say something of something that it is not, or of what it is not while it is, is false, while to say something of something is while it is, and to say it is not what it is not, is true."
Which can be simplified to:
"If you attribute a status to something that it does not have, or contrarily accuse something of not having an attribute that it actually does, is false; but if you attribute a status to something that it does indeed have, and vice versa, that's true."
Essentially:
"If you make a mistake judging something, it's false; but if you judge something accurately/correctly, that's true."*
*Quotations added because I'm quoting myself
So...basically..."if you're wrong, you're wrong; but if you're right, you're right"?

Quote from: Dudeman on April 30, 2016, 09:31:35 PMSo...basically..."if you're wrong, you're wrong; but if you're right, you're right"?
Exactly! Yes! I didn't want to say it like that myself cuz then everyone would've been like, "ur stoopid howdjue com up with thaht?" But that is literally exactly what I was was thinking.
Quote from: Dudeman on April 30, 2016, 09:31:35 PMCaptain Obvious wants his job back. :P
Yup, sorry buddy. I'm busy with my feet on your desk.
There are a lot of different definitions for the verb "to be", and that's probably why Aristotle used that quote. In your case, "to be" has the definition of something being true, but in the example of geocentrism, "to be" means position or movement: to say something of something that is not (to say that the earth moves while we don't see or notice it moving), is false.
I personally think the "wrong is wrong, right is right" version of the quote is too simplified, because in some cases (like geocentrism), something that's wrong was accepted as right. At that time, everything that 'is' could be perceived in some way.
Sometimes, you can't actually know if something's right or wrong. An example for long ago is the geo- and heliocentrism, but for this time, examples are "Do aliens exist?" or "Does a higher being exist?". Aristotle's quote is so vague, that these questions can be answered with either "yes" or "no", if you interpret "to be" in another way.
(It's actually kinda hard to find the right words for this because I'm not at all a professional philosopher. forgive meeeeeeeee)

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.
– Robert Louis Stevenson
My planted seeds and harvest are both the same anyway
I don't have either
...But if I plant mustard seeds and get watermelon, shouldn't I worry about what I'm reaping, too?
We had an old topic for quote-sharing (of the same name), but it hasn't been active for a few years. However, I wanted to share this quote from 1984:
"What can you do ... against the lunatic who is more intelligent than yourself, who gives your arguments a fair hearing and then simply persists in his lunacy?"
kill him
That, or feed them a churro and run into a conveniently-placed corn maze.
Quote from: BlackDragonSlayer on May 03, 2016, 09:22:22 AM"What can you do ... against the lunatic who is more intelligent than yourself, who gives your arguments a fair hearing and then simply persists in his lunacy?"
Give up. I deal with this on a regular basis.
Whoo! Sorry for the major delay's. Apparently the thread's title was broken, so let's get it fixed up. This quote was very interesting for me. What do you guys think?
May 16, 2016: "Those who do not appreciate life do not deserve life."
-John Kramer
Personally, I'm for both sides. If you do not appreciate something, why have it in the first place? If you don't appreciate life, is it worth having life? If you don't appreciate your parents for what they do, is it even worth having a parent?
But, no one can choose whether they are born or not. It is all about to the parents and people born from a broken home didn't choose to have that kind of life.
I think in the end, life is so fragile and precious, everyone deserves life, even if they don't appreciate it.
Thoughts?
What if you just don't appreciate life in general? That gives you no reason not to kill anybody you want to.
That's true. You give an interesting point.
Yes, it definitely follows that if you don't appreciate life, you're allowed to go on a murder spree. :P
I don't think it's up to any one person to decide who deserves life or not. I know this quote is more on a philosophical level, but really. If someone doesn't "appreciate" life, that's their own problem.
But define appreciating life for me. Does it refer to appreciating breathing, or does it refer to a more social aspect of "life"? Or is that all just up to interpretation?
In the context of the quote, John Kramer is talking to a person about what it means to be alive and how people take life and people for granted. So, I guess the social aspect of life, being alive.
"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
― Marilyn Monroe
No truer words had been spoken.
I've always disliked that quote
I strongly dislike this mindset with every inch of my soul. "Deal with me because this is how I am" is so self-centered and lazy. If you're selfish impatient and out of control, fix it.
Besides, nobody cares about your best when you're always at your worst.
Isn't it basically saying: "Accept me as I am?"
To me there are mixed messages. I don't think Monroe would be the kind of person to just say "eh deal with it".
On the one hand, there's the subtle message of "sometimes shit happens to me and you'll have to deal with it", which is kinda meh, but IMO the other (far more important message) is that people can't always be perfect and that if you're gonna leave a person during the bad times then you shouldn't get to just come back into their lives when it's all better again.
"Accept me as I am", yet you do nothing to change. If someone with this mindset told me to accept them as they are, screw that I'm not going to care. Show me some effort that you're trying to change. I'm not going to just deal with your extremely flawed personality while you do nothing. That's just forcing all the work on me. Better to just not deal with you at all
I can deal with your bad side as long as needed if you're trying to get better

― Marilyn Monroe
Agreeing with Braix and Noc here. The general tone of this quote has always given me the impression that the so-called "best" isn't exactly something to look forward to, at least in light of the "worst."
Yeahhhhhh, this quote does have that tone of "I'm better than all of you, even at my worst, so you need to get over it and submit to me." My sister has that exact same outlook on life... And she's only a 3rd grader.
I've always disliked it because I feel the speaker is saying it to push their superiority on others. To me, the quote says, "I'm better than you and you don't deserve a strong, intelligent, independent person like me"
May 18, 2016: "Hope is independent of the apparatus of logic."
-Norman Cousins
What a pretentious way to phrase it. What's wrong with saying "hope is illogical"? For shame, Norman Cousins.
That seems like the way I would word it on a school assignment or something. XD
Dying.
Did not know what it meant until you explained, Dudeman. Thanks.
How did Norman Cousins even come up with this belief? I mean why would someone believe that hope is illogical?
Isn't hope not based on logic at all though? It's like the belief that things will be better than they'll probably end up being so you're ignoring that logic and hoping something illogical will happen.
I mean I guess you have a point there. Hope doesn't have to not be based on logic. You can still hope something even though you know you're probably going to be successful in the activity.

"Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it."
-Lou HoltzI agree. How you respond to life is what matters much more than what life throws at you. If throws you a problem, you can either do nothing about it, or do something about it. Decisions are what is important.

"However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at."
-Stephen Hawking
Pretty simple, but with lots of truth. Life progressively gets harder as you move on from your childhood, to teenager to adults years, but no matter where you are in life (a crippling debt, all F's on your report card, loss of a loved one, etc), there are still those light spots in life.

"The two most powerful warriors are patience and time."
-Leo Tolstoy
This quote is highly disputable. I agree that patience is one of them, but I don't really think time is on anyone's side. What I think of time is just our friend or enemy in some situations. You can't control time and time will go on no matter what you do. Time is indeed powerful with the fact that it is eternal and you must be patient in order to see the fruits of your life....
Both of which I don't have the most of. I have more patience than time. XD
But my, they are highly powerful!
I think what's more important than time is the ability to do what you need to do in the time you're given. So in the right hands, time can be very powerful.

That is true. Sometimes the night holds way more surprises and is way more alive than anything the day can bring. Fireworks in the fourth of July, St. Elmo's fire, lightning, etc.
Light at night looks way better than light at day. It's also why most concerts in the evening/night look better than concerts at day
One of the things on my bucket list (which I don't actually have written down) is going out into the desert, or somewhere pretty far out from civilization, and seeing the night sky free of light pollution. I can only imagine how pretty it'll be.

One night back in the 1980s, 90s(?) there was a blackout in Los Angeles I do believe. People started freaking out and calling the police, claiming they were seeing strange lights in the sky. What they didn't realize is that they were seeing the Milky Way in the night sky. Also, there's a place in Georgia where people go just for that; white light is prohibited.
St. Elmo's Fire is amazing. XDXD

You could be greeted by disagreement before you get to become friends

Quote from: Call of CthulhuThe most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age. --H.

need to, but we should accept the fact that we will even when we don't want to.

XD I thought that, too.
About the quote, it's all about pointing out how perfectly imperfect we are. Screw-ups will come. They happen almost daily. We just need to (like Seb said) accept that they'll come & move on with life. It isn't like we can prepare
ourself ourselves for those mistakes, only how we'll react to making them. (And even then, that can be a bit unpredictable)

Ain't that the truth.
Quite so. Occum's Razor, The Path of Least Resistance, everything in the world is about being simplistic. So I think da Vinci, having taken notice of all this, tried to describe these patterns in a statement, and quite well, in my opinion.

Out of the past, present, and future, our present is the most important as it molds our future and even if we fail in the past, we still have a chance to make it right.
Did you know it's impossible to live in the present? Our brains have something known as "time lag", which is created because it takes approximately a tenth of a second for your brain to process the information it receives. The only reason it feels like we live in the present is because our brains try to make predictions about what will happen a tenth of a second in the future, covering the lag. However, the predictions aren't always correct, and that's what leads to accidents.

Hey, Sun Tzu wrote "The Art of War"!
There is no glory in war; go all out. Play dirty & pull as many tricks as you can. Anything to win!
I'd be willing to bet that that statement is also found in his book.

LOL. I have no idea why I said that. XD

And E. Gadd. I'll bet it is! In order to win war, you have to play dirty. Thank God William Tecumseh Sherman did that.

We are indeed all guilty.
And that, imo, is the worst possible kind of guilt. I've heard of stories where someone could've done something, they should've, but they didn't, and it haunts them to this day.

What
Ah, Yogi Berra. Truly one of the greatest minds of our time.
...does no one else know about this guy?

Yogi Bearra?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yogi_Berra
pretty sure he's a famous baseball player
So that quote is a "Yogi-ism". Hm.
Apparently it's "I really didn't say everything I said."
He kinda seems like a very famous soccer player here in The Netherlands, Johan Cruijff. And he's dead too. It all comes together.

Isn't this the truth? Nice quote by Reagan.
XD Oh boy, that's a tense quote in this day.
But I agree. This nation was founded on the terms/views/doctrine of Christianity, and to take that away would be to deny our forefathers.
some people would argue with you and quote jefferson or someone

Oh, silly me! I must have gotten <snip> mixed up with the famous atheist Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen! Out of all the atheists, he's number one! I'll have that quote fixed by tomorrow.
If you edit this again I'll just mass pm everyone who's active.

A+ quote. I love it.

I don't even need to cite the famous quotes from the various founding fathers to do away with this one, because I can just use the Constitution..
"Congress shall make NO law respecting an establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
Having a country based on a religion does both of those things.
Keep in mind that the whole reason people left for the Americas was because of religious persecution..
That has nothing to do with the quote of the day

Highly debatable, but love is indeed one of the most important things in our world.

"Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars."
-Khalil Gibran
What a meaningful quote, it speaks of so many things at once - hope, faith & resilience. Tough times help shape us into stronger people (though not all might be as positive-thinking). I find it easier to live with an optimistic mindset, otherwise your own heavy thoughts can weigh you down even further.

Nature is all around us, and sure, while most of nature is good for being calm & collected, there are a few things (I'm looking at you, Boxfish) that are like "Fear me, stupid human!"

That's true. I don't have any patience at all, but I realize that in the end, it will bear sweet fruits.
Awesome quote. I can relate to this so much.

why this
Now now. Let's not make the same mistake twice.
It's just a quote that I found and like. I thought it was amusing because it goes against our current punishment system.

People put too much emphasis on clothing at times, it seems. >:/
clothing is important
But not for that one day you decide to become a hermit & camp out inside playing video games or watching TV all day!
EDIT: I realize that makes me sound like a nudist of sorts, so let me elaborate:
"But it doesn't matter what clothing you wear for that one day...all day!"
Who needs clothes
Thought I'd do this today since Shadowhunter has been out.
By the way, it's a legit quote, not a troll quote.
