One might feel less cynical about this quote had the "truth" Davis spoke of here had not been the right of men to own others as property.

“The strong ones in life are those who understand the meaning of the word patience. Patience means restraining one’s inclinations. There are seven emotions: joy, anger, anxiety, adoration, grief, fear, and hate, and if a man does not give way to these he can be called patient. I am not as strong as I might be, but I have long known and practiced patience. And if my descendants wish to be as I am, they must study patience.”

"England expects that every man shall do his duty."
Nelson before the battle of Trafalgar.

This is only the short version, the full quote ends: "...and get on down with some big ass booty."

My favorite quote is:
"There's a big difference between doing something brave, like fighting a bear, and doing something stupid, like fighting a squid."
-Aristotle

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?”

My most favorite Confucius quotes is “never surrender never give up in any circumstances” and this quote really inspired me a lot, no doubt it came from a comedy movie.. I like to read and notice quotes which admire and adorable in their own terms.

"Don’t be deceived when they tell you things are better now. Even if there’s no poverty to be seen because the poverty’s been hidden. Even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which industries foist on you and even if it seems to you that you never had so much, that is only the slogan of those who still have much more than you. Don’t be taken in when they paternally pat you on the shoulder and say that there’s no inequality worth speaking of and no more reason to fight because if you believe them they will be completely in charge in their marble homes and granite banks from which they rob the people of the world under the pretence of bringing them culture. Watch out, for as soon as it pleases them they’ll send you out to protect their gold in wars whose weapons, rapidly developed by servile scientists, will become more and more deadly until they can with a flick of the finger tear a million of you to pieces." - Jean-Paul Marat
