Anyone have favorite quotes by famous (or infamous) people? | |

Since this site is programming related, I think some quotes by Blaise Pascal would be appropriate... "Men blaspheme what they don't know." "The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob," not of philosophers and scholars. "We know God only through Jesus Christ. Without this Mediator, is taken away all communication with God; through Jesus Christ we know God. All those who have pretended to know God, and prove Him without Jesus Christ, have only had impotent proofs." "Not only do we know God only through Jesus Christ, but we know ourselves only through Jesus Christ." |

Do they have to be just (in)famous people? (or by infamous did you mean people not famous?) "Darwin is dead." (I think that speaks enough about him and his theory, heh heh :-) Most of my favorite quotes are from songs. Besides the one in my sig, I like: "We're gonna change the world, we're the alien youth. We're coming for your soul, we're the alien youth." - Skillet ------------------ |

"Worshiping God and the Lamb in the temple: God, for his benefaction in creating all things, and the Lamb, for his benefaction in redeeming us with his blood." Sir Isaac Newton "We have been assured, Sir, in the Sacred Writings, that 'except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.' I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better that the builders of Babel." Here's a coupe I found ------------------ |

Those are good ßrendan, I ran across the one by Isaac Newton just the other day, pretty amazing guy, started many fields of science and mathamatics, furthered many others, even came up with calculus (nobody's perfect BlazeQ, I meant both famous as well as infamous people, by infamous I mean people like Bonoparte or Hitler... |

I found the following at http://www.icr.org/pubs/imp/imp-088.htm As Gould says, our ability to classify both living and fossil species distinctly and using the same criteria "fit splendidly with creationist tenets." "But how," he asks, "could a division of the organic world into discrete entities be justified by an evolutionary theory that proclaimed ceaseless change as the fundamental fact of nature?" They really should stop honest evolutionists from opening their mouths too often |

quote: http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/tools/quotes.asp has this and many other quotes. here's a few others I've picked up: # "If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away" --Henry David Thoreau # "The first to present his case seems right, till another comes forward and questions him" -- Proverbs 18:17, NIV # "'Circumstantial evidence is a very tricky thing,' answered Holmes thoughtfully; 'it may seem to point very straight to one thing, but if you shift your point of view a little, you may find it pointing in an equally uncompromising manner to something entirely different' . . . 'There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.'" --Sherlock Holmes novel (dont' know which book) |

Infamous... "I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between Him and every other person in the world there is no possible term of comparision. Alexander, Caeser, Charlemange, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded His empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for Him." Napoleon Bonaparte ------------------ |

CobraA1, hey from another AIG devotee! I hadn't been by the quotes before, thanks for the link ßrendan, I ran across that same quote by Napoleon and I'm still not sure what to make of the guy. If I recall right aside from battling nearly every other country, he did some things like having a mistress which go against Jesus' own teaching. Another hypocrite? The quote is very perceptive anyway... |

I don't know much about the guy... I'd say your right... Just quoting somebody 'infamous'... It's quite strange that somebody can know about Jesus ( Know the truth about Him ) but reject Him... That freaks me out! It's like they've condemned themselves. ------------------ |

Of course the Devil himself knows more about Jesus than we, and yet he rejected him as well...the difference between knowledge and understanding perhaps? Falkone, did you make that last one up? |

quote: That's what I thought. I asked 'cause you can never be sure on the Internet... Here's a favorite of mine: Crptc_Prgrmr, I actually saw this in Creation magazine (published by AIG). That mag is great.
quote: heh, I remember reading about that guy. BlazeQ ------------------ |

Crptc_Prgrmr Member Posts: 169 From: Registered: 02-05-2002 |
Yeah, I get Creation magazine as well BlazeQ My only complaint is that there are only four issues a year! They're really packed though, and don't have the advertisements that other mags. have. Great stuff! |
