Bad times have a scientific value. These are occasions a good learner would not miss.

Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.

No offense guys, just stating that I would like more philosophical, inspiring quotes, not the ones that you easily google in a minute.

gameon: serious sam second encounter classic.

Bruce Lee: Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.
Very nice.

danteveli: Cloning Clyde
Wars come and go, but my soldiers stay eternal
Author? By the length of it, not a philosopher's phrase I presume?

wpegg: I did a giveaway like this a while ago: this was one I particularly liked (though for some reason didn't win, I can't remember why):

'Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.' - G.K. Chesterton

EDIT: P.S it was a leap year this year, so you're not at three years yet! :)
Do you have a link of that similar giveaway? PM me, I love knowing more quotes.

You are correct, the 1095th will be tomorrow. But it's just a rounding, and I started it on Sunday because I can end it on a Sunday too. ;)

ZPavelZ: Not a problem. I actually edited my post to re-format it according to his requirements. :) I will just remove my entry than.
EDIT Also thanks for heads up. ;)
ZPavelZ, edit your first post to include your game and quote, you already entered for it.

Since a few people don't follow rules and seriousness for SERIOUS, I will be a nice guy and let you enter, otherwise I would think you created a fake account for this giveaway. Good luck.

My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est
Pro patria mori.

--Wilfred Owen, "Dulce et decorum est"

I instantly think of this poem.
Thanks for the giveaway.

Editted to improve format.

Than to be mindful of the happy time
In misery.

"Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens." --Carlos Ruiz Zafon, The Shadow of the Wind

I like this one by Carl Sagan:
"What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.", beautiful

"There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."
