Meister Eckhart
‘The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won’t let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they’re not punishing you, he said. They’re freeing your soul. So, if you’re frightened of dying and… and you’re holding on, you’ll see devils tearing your life away. But if you’ve made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth.’
A paraphrase of quote by Meister Eckhart
as spoken at the end of the film
Jacob’s Ladder

If you haven't wised-up by the time you are 40, forget about it.
The only problem you Americans have is that you have too much and always want more.
Do you have a plate of food in front of you? Then say "Thank you G-d" and stop whining. Others don't even have that.
A car is like a woman, needs money and attention and brings problems. Forget the car and the women, go to school learn letters (i.e. get educated)so that when you walk through the door they will say, aha there is Mr. Steve....... All of those other things will come.
-Pappou (granadpa) Kostas
He lived alone in America for 12 years to scrape up the funds to bring the family over. Lived alone 20 years after grandma died. Never complained about anything or anyone.
He sang at his grandson's wedding (my cousin) and three weeks later left his body behind for better place.
Thank you for your sacrifices to bring us all a better life.
May your memory be eternal.
And as he always used to say, if I only had my last/latest thought (way of thinking) first...........

A human being should be able to change a diaper,
plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship,
design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts,
build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders,
give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations,
analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer,
cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
...Specialization is for insects.
-Lazarus Long
"If somebody loves you - you're the luckiest man in the world.
If somebody needs you - well, what else could you want?
'Cos "lovers" come and go, and I think you know just what I mean.
But real love ... you know the difference right away."
Mike Smith - Dave Clark 5

“Beware of men who cry. It's true that men who cry are sensitive to and in touch with feelings, but the only feelings they tend to be sensitive to and in touch with are their own.”
- Nora Ephron
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

"More than at any other time in history, we all face two roads. One leads to despair and utter hopelessness, the other to total annihilation. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly."
"The world is divided into two types of people, the miserable and the pathetic. The miserable are like most of us, handling lifes ups and downs, struggling to make a living, dealing with our shortfalls, phobias, low self-esteem, and shattered life dreams. The pathetic are people with terminal illnesses, debilitating diseases, addictions, homelessness, starvation, and mental challenges.
When you think about it this way, you should thank God every day that you're just miserable."
Both quotes from Woody Allen

From the movie: The Cutting Edge
Doug: Look, from the first day I walked into your rink, you've been treating me like a hired hand! Then one night, you get drunk, and I'm supposed to roll over and thank my lucky stars? Sorry, I don't downshift that fast!
Kate: It's in
Doug: It's out
Kate: It's in
Doug: It's out!
Kate: It's in!
Doug: What difference does it make?
Kate: The difference is... I'm in the mood to kick a little ass.
