Quotes I like

Here's some miscellaneous quotes I enjoy:

"Wars are seldom caused by spontaneous hatreds between people, for peoples in general are too ignorant of one another to have grievances and too indifferent to what goes on beyond their borders to plan conquests. They must be urged to the slaughter by politicians who know how to alarm them." (H.L. Mencken)

"We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again - and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore." (Mark Twain)

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace." (Jimi Hendrix)

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." (Mahatma Ghandi)

"One touch of nature makes the whole world kin." (William Shakespeare)

"Don't let yesterday use up too much of today." (Will Rogers)
