It's Not What Is Said, It's Who Says It

I like to quote people but it's usually people that are scientists, artists or writers. And usually I will get comments on said quotes. I had someone recently call me "He who quotes Einstein like Frost" I thought that was cute. I do like people that are abstract and logical at the same time. It's thinking outside of the box that has built this world.

I could say that Einstein was a great man, and he was, but so was Oppenheimer. If you don't know who he was, J.Robert Oppenheimer was an American physicist and the "Father of the Atomic Bomb". Was he a great mind or a mass murderer?
Do you know what he said? "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds." Now before you jump to conclusions...Einstein warned President Franklin D. Roosevelt that Germany might be developing an atomic weapon, and recommended that the U.S. begin similar research.

So let's skip to my real point. I quote great minds but they come in all forms. Everyone has eloquent or witty moments. I recently quoted a famous serial killer on facebook.

Quotable, maybe not, but if they are then the person saying such pearls of wisdom should not be under scrutiny. I have seen people quote songs, artists or works of literature (fact or fiction). It relates to them. So lets perform an experiment-Whoever reads this- Please post or tweet or whatever you do that gains public noteriety, something by someone that is, I won't say disreputable, but someone that is not known for their brilliance. But not the name of the person, than a famous person's quote that is not that poignant and see if anyone can tell the difference.

I will leave you with a couple of quotes:

A man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures - and that is the basis of all human morality.

As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice.

Two men, common enemies-who was right and who wrong?
