I'm fairly confident that the quotes I'm about to share have not been duplicated elsewhere in this thread. They both explain the fundamentals of human social dynamics.
...This common body, Like to a vagabond flag upon the stream, Goes to and back, lackeying the varying tide, To rot itself with motion.
-Octavius Caesar, Antony & Cleopatra (I,iv)
And a more recent version:
Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.
"Free your mind and your ass will follow" -Eddie Hazel "If I had eyes in the back of my head i wold hae told you taht you look good as i walked away..." Jack Johnson (from the song "If I had Eyes" "The only good race pace is suicide pace, and today looks like a good day to die" -Prefontaine the last one i got from a friend who quoted it cuz hes a huge track star, i just thought it was a sweet quote even though i dont run

I love quotes whether they are from intelligent philosophers, average people or complete neanderthals.
Smart quotes: My favorite quote from an intelligent philosopher type is from Euripide - The gifts of a bad man bring no good with them Bob Marley - Many hands make the work light. - If your are a big tree I am a little axe.
Neanderthal quotes: Beatlejuice the midget- Uh, I gave her fake money and she gave me a lap dance, cause she don't know no better.
