THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN -- CLOSING ARGUMENTS

An Exposition of Two Quotes

Monsieur Obama.

Vote for me because I'm going to change existing Republican policies with these specific proposals.

Monsieur McCain.

Vote for me because...um, be afraid of Obama. I think he knew a Palestinian dood once. Did I mention I was a POW for a while?

Bonus -- Mademoiselle Palin.

Fear Obama -- he *gasp* wants to have a government in Washington D.C.! It's not god's will, doggonite gee willickers!

DAT CROOKED MCCAIN

I got the Brady Games Crisis Core guide, and it's littered with awesome quotes!

They believe your emotions will hamper your judgment.

Wings symbolize freedom for those who have none.

But Zack, no matter what happens, I have to protect my honor.

SOLDIER's duty is not to think - it is to protect men who think for them, like me.

I'm still SOLDIER at heart, I suppose.

Don't you think I'd be put to better use on the battlefield?

This is a symbol of my dreams and honor.

The wind sails over the water's surface. Quietly, but surely.

And my absolute FAVOURITE:

If we pull this off, we'll all be heroes! At the very least, I'd feel like one!

[Thought]

Just remember it's what's INside that counts, as I used to remind girls in high school constantly. CONSTANTLY - until I realized that I was empty inside. Empty and homely. Man, that's a rough combo.

Let freedom ring, unless it's on vibrate.

The English Language is my bitch. Or I don't speak it very well. Whatever.

Always be yourself, unless you suck.

Every day is a negotiation, and sometimes its done with guns.

[Insane]

I'd agree, but I don't like being wrong!

[BROJ]

Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo.

The full use of your powers along lines of excellence.

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

Everybody pities the weak; jealousy you have to earn.

All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusion is called a philosopher.

The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.

[Shadow D. Darkman]

I neither know nor care if someone's already done this, but this is one I strongly live by.

With great power, comes great responsibility.

The one person who first coined this saying is a person I declare to be wiser than King Solomon himself could EVER be.

Stan Lee?

IDK it might not be him that FIRST coined it, as the possibility remains that he either didn't write the lines or someone else coined it first.

I have grown numb and become crushed to an extreme degree; I have roared due to the groaning of my heart. My own heart has palpitated heavily, my power has left me, and the light of my eyes also is not with me.

Psalm 38: 8 and 10. Part of the psalmist David's melody regarding his pangs of distress. It always comes to mind when I'm in my weakest moments.

"Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?" -Proverbs (forgot the verse)

“Love sees sharply; hatred sees even more sharply; but Jealousy sees the sharpest—for it is love and hate at the same time.” -Arab proverb, allegedly

“Jealousy is the injured lover's hell.” -Milton

I had never really felt prolonged jealousy until the last few days. It's everything I'm seeing quotes and writings describe: conflagrant but tiring; empowering but embittering; involuntary and unsatisfying. It's been nice reflecting upon the effects, and I can say that the alleged Arab aphorism above is absolutely accurate.

Edit: Replaced proverb with aphorism to make the assonance all but assured.

[Boo the Gentleman Caller]

Here's a quote from Chrono Trigger DS that I found quite amusing...

Ayla (after finding the Rainbow Shell in 1000 AD to prove King Guardia XIII is innocent), talking to Marle and helping her get over her "daddy issues":

Leave Nest!
Have baby!  Give milk!
Have more baby!

Best Chrono Trigger quote ever...?  Very probable.  Ayla is a sexy fountain of wisdom.

"Boy, you got me confused with someone who repeats himself."  -Omar Little

[V_Translanka]

Also, for the newer members, this isn't 4chan. Have fun if you want, but don't be asses. That's on you though.

Easily the best thing I've seen on the Compendium in weeks...I feel like putting it in my sig or something, even...

DO NOT PRAY! If you pray, your hands will close together. You will not be able to fight.

Guts, from Berserk

Now, he's happy. Or, is death the end of the dream? Is it a failure of hope?

Griffith, from Berserk
