Most significant words ever spoken?
I've been watching this series of programs that the Discovery Channel has been running lately about our journeys beyond the planet Earth. I still get chills every time I hear Neil Armstrong utter the words "That's one...small step for man...one ...giant leap form mankind". It got me thinking about the most important words that we as a people have spoken & how they have shaped the world. There are countless examples. What, in your opinions, are the best, funniest, deepest, saddest, most ridiculous, most important, just plain 'ol greatest things that we, as humans, have ever said? Just curious...

"How to be at peace now? By making peace with the present moment. The present moment is the field on which the game of life happens. It cannot happen anywhere else. Once you have made peace with the present moment, see what happens, what you can do or choose to do, or rather what life does through you. There are three words that convey the secret of the art of living, the secret of all success and happiness: One With Life. Being one with life is being one with Now. You then realize that you don't live your life, but life lives you. Life is the dancer, and you are the dance."
Eckhart Tolle, "A New Earth, Awakening to your life's Purpose", 2005.

Will Rodgers said there are three kinds of men.
Some men learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence themselves. I also like this one: Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. - John Lennon And an old guy in my neighborhood when I was a kid told me "Many hands make light work." I never forgot that one either and I still think of him every time I hear that saying. |

These are pretty good:
"...All men are created equal...They are endowed with inherent and inalienable rights- life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness... Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed... [and if under] absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such government." -Thomas Jefferson "There will never be a really free and enlightened State, until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly." -Henry David Thoreau "I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the very highest respect for the law." -Martin Luther King Jr. "Trust thyself... Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members... Whoso would be a man would be a nonconformist... To be great is to be misunderstood." -Ralph Waldo Emerson "It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged...With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan – to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations."- Abraham Lincoln |

I gotta give it up to Bono for transcending religion, life and culture with this line from the bridge of beautiful day, "After the flood, all the colors came out." Its just such a simple line that says so much about life and can be taken to mean a countless number of things. I think that line won the grammy for them. Not signifigant on a world stage, but to the people who heard that song while they were in a bad place, huge.

some lyrics that mean a lot to me from a band called Face to Face-
Sometimes it feels just like I've burned Every single bridge That I have ever crossed I always try to learn From all of these mistakes Mistakes that I have made But pride is a worthy adversary In the struggle for yourself |
