Post good philosophy quotes ill start:
"Explanation from Alan Watts; People like to say that their hand is a part of them or that their hair is a part of them. The also say that the air is not a part of them, and that the ground is not a part of them. But, this is foolish, because you can live without your hand and your hair, but not without air or the ground."

.9 repeating logically cannot logically equal 1. there are a good number of examples too... one such being that if the universe is theoretically infinite, or at least already expanding, then it would be save to say that the portion of the universe that is not earth is .9 repeating, and yet as far as we can tell it does exist. To say that .9 repeating equals 1 is to deny one's own existence. If you want to do that then fine, but understand the logical implications of your statement.

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for - Epicurus

It is on disaster that good fortune perches;
It is on good fortune that disaster crouches.

A tree that can fill the span of a man's arms,
grows from a downy tip.
A terrace nine stories high
Rises from hodfuls of Earth;
A journey of a thousand miles
Starts from beneath one's feet.

-Lao Tzu

I have more that i have to dig up but i'm too tired now to look through my books.

Oh and one that i love that i might be getting a tattoo of, not really a quote but its more of a summation of the philosopher's main ideas about the world.

A word to the wise is infuriating.
Hunter S. Thompson

No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master.
Hunter S. Thompson

"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty."
