Inspirational quotes

Haven't seen a thread for this yet, just post something, doesn't have to be famous, and even you could have said it first. Just something that gives hope.

Quote:

---

O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lov'd home and war's desolation,
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n-rescued land
Praise the pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto, "In God is our Trust."
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
-Verse four of the Star-Spangled Banner

Reasonable people obey all the rules and do what their teachers taught.

All the inventions and new theories as well as all of the evil are due to unreasonable people.

Whenever I hear somebody say that the sun will go nova and wipe us out in 5 billion or so years, I say that given that much time the human race will figure a way to save themselves.

BTW: F**k is the word for a a very simple Anglo Saxon agricultural process. A farmer would carry a bag of seeds and a curved pointed wooden device. By pushing the device into soft earth, he made a hole into which he dropped a seed.

Well this is how I thought it came about...

Many moons ago in a land far away...okay...now properly

A very long time ago, they never had the word "rape". When a man was convicted of this crime, he would most likely be be-headed. It was customery to have the crime the person commited engraved onto some kind of plaque next to the guilotine, so the locals could jeer at him/make fun etc. The term for rape was For Under Carnal Knowledge, but of course nobody could be arsed to engrave that with a hammer and chisel, so they appreviated it, hence F.U.C.K. Over time, the dots were removed, forming ****. That's what i always thought anyway.

The word "****" comes from the German word "flichen" which means "to strike."

**** is nothing like flichen...at least my story explains why **** means to have sex

In prehistoric times before there were computers, I was told of the Anglo Saxon agricultural etimology of f**k by an English teacher.

He might have been mistaken, but I do not think he was joking or making up a story.

I think the truth Is that nobody really knows (There is also a story that it stood for Fornication Under Consent of the King)

I found this on the Web though.

Origins: A Short Etymological Dictionary of Modern English. Greenwich House (c) Eric Partridge MCMLVIII.

[4mƒuck[m, verb hence noun, is a Standard English word classed, because of its associations, as a vulgarism. The derivative expletive [4mƒuck[m ([4mit[m)[4m![m-derivative agent [4mƒucker[m- and verbal noun and participial adjective [4mƒucking[m, except when literal (then, they are likewise vulgarisms), belong to low slang. _ƒuck_ shares with _cu*nt_ two distinctions: they are the only two Standard English words excluded from all general and etymological dictionaries since C18 and the only two Standard English words that, outside of medical and other official and semi-official reports and learned papers, still could not be printed in full anywhere within the British Commonwealth of Nations until late 1961.

That _ƒuck_ cannot descend straight from Latin _futuere_ (whence Old French-French _foutre_) is obvious; that the two words are related is equally obvious. That it cannot derive unaided from German _ficken_, to strike, (in popular speech) to copulate with, is clear; it is no less clear that the English and German words are cognates. 'To _ƒuck_' apparently combines the vocalism of f_u_tuere+the consonantism of fi_ck_en, which might derive from _*f"cken_ (only dubiously attested).

Now, Latin _futuere_ is formed similarly to Latin _battuere_, to strike, hence to copulate with a woman. With both, compare Irish _bot_, Manx _bwoid_, *****; _battuere_, says Malvezin, is borrowed from Celtic and stands for _*bactuere_; and _futuere_ recalls the Celtic root _*buc-_, a point, hence to pierce (malvezin); compare also Gaelic _batair_, a cudgeller, and Gaelic _buail_, English/Irish _bualaim_, I strike. Both Latin _battuere_ and Latin _futuere_ (compare Latin _fustis_, a staff, a cudgel: ? for _*futsis_) could have got into Latin from Celtic, which, it is perhaps worth adding, had originally no _f_: basic idea. 'to strike', hence (of a man) `to copulate with'. Nevertheless, the source probably long antedates both Latin and Celtic: a strikingly ancient etymology one is apparently afforded by Egyptian _petcha_, (of the male) to copulate with, the hieroglyph being an ideogram of unmistakably assertive virility. The Egyptian word has a close Arabic parallel.- A Mediterranean word?
