“That which doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger.”
--Friedrich Nietzsche.
“Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.”
– Luke 15:32
"When we, children, are small, we depend on our parents to be indestructable, we see us as Gods amung men, and think they can do, and know, everything. When we have grown into young adults, we view them as inferior. Spitting them in the face, enraging them as well as other things. When we have grown and they die or are dying, we look back on all the hardships they've but us through--all the tears, the heart ache, everything--and we say to them: 'Thank you, for staying with me, through the shit I've done.' They reply: 'It came in the job discription.' Why is that, in their final time, we seek the bad times and not good? I say: Because that's the last thing that goes through their mind."

And here's something I heard Leake say when he flicked off his Neil Armstrong-obsessed history teacher in public:
"One small Finger for man, one giant 'Fuck you' for mankind."
-- Jake Leake, A.K.A. TheLastIronMan.
Laughed so hard when I heard he said that, I fell over. And my favorite because it makes me feel good inside (call me sadistic):
"You know what you are. What you're made of. War is in your blood. Don't fight it. You didn't kill for your country. You killed for yourself. God's never gonna make that go away. When you're pushed, killing's as easy as breathing."
--John J. Rambo
