      They are a little long, but here are two of my favorites:

      “We have never made an effort to understand what is
      greatness in men and how to recognize
      it.  We have come to hold, in a
      kind of mawkish stupor, that greatness is to be gauged by self-sacrifice.  Self-sacrifice, we drool, is the ultimate
      virtue.  Let’s stop and think for a
      moment.  Is sacrifice a virtue?  Can a man sacrifice his integrity?  His honor?
      His freedom?  His ideal?  His conviction?   The honesty of his feelings?  The independence of his thought?  But these are a man’s supreme
      possessions.  Anything he gives up for
      them is not a sacrifice but an easy bargain.
      They, however, are above sacrifice to any cause or consideration
      whatsoever.  Should we not, then, stop
      preaching dangerous and vicious nonsense?
      Self sacrifice?  But it is precisely the self that cannot and
      must not be sacrificed  It is the
      unsacrified self that we must respect in man above all.”    
      Ayn Rand
      The
      Fountainhead


      "
      War isn't hell at all.
      It's man at his best; the highest morality he's capable of.  It's not war that's insane, you see.  It's the morality of it.  It's not greed or ambition that makes war: It's
      goodness.  It's not greed or ambition
      that makes war: It's goodness. Wars are always fought for the best of reasons:
      For liberation or manifest destiny.
      Always against tyranny and always in the interest of humanity. So far
      this war, we've managed to butcher some ten million humans in the interest of
      humanity.  Next war it seems we'll have
      to destroy all of man in order to preserve his damn dignity.  It's not war that's unnatural to us, it's
      virtue.  As long as valor remains a
      virtue, we shall have soldiers.  So, I
      preach cowardice.  Through cowardice, we
      shall all be saved.
      We shall never end wars… by blaming it on ministers and
      generals or war-mongering imperialists or
      all the other banal bogies.  It’s the
      rest of us who build statues to those generals and name boulevards after those
      ministers: The rest of us who make heroes of our dead and shrines of our battlefields  We wear our widows weeds like nuns… and
      perpetuate war by exalting its sacrifices… Maybe ministers and generals blunder
      us into war… At least the rest of us can do is resist honoring the
      institution.”

              My favorite ones are usually listed on my profile under "About Me" Section.
              ..

              Age is a question of mind over matter. If you do not mind, it does not matter.
              ..

              One of the most critical moment in "life":
              When someone very special hurts u so deeply and ask, "What happened"?
              And u just reply, "Nothing"
