Good philosophy quotes?

[l1ghtdark]

Anyone have any good personal quotes on life or their philsophies on life? thanks. Just trying to expand my thinking I life. I personally like funny ones like this one "When life hands you lemons, make grape juice and let others spend the rest of their lives trying to figure out how the heck you did it"

Chris G. below is a lying sack of s***. "Who watches the watchers" is actually "quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" It's a quote from the roman poet Juvenal. It's commonly translated as "Who watches the watchmen?"

And for my quote I'd go with:

"Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muß man schweigen."

Or, in english: "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must remain silent."

It's the final statement in Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.

I would also offer it as a suggestion to the lying, plagiarizing Chris G.
