[Clinton comment history]

"Faith can move mountains, but denial can make them disappear."

One from my book. I had 150 quotes like that - all original - from Ancient Canada at the end of the book (with chapter and page references). It was going to be sort of an appendix, but it was a little clumsy and we left it out in the end.

But I've had a chance to work them (and new quotes) into fables, which are free - new ones added regularly - at http://ancientcanada.com. There's also a quotes tab on the site.

Got a few more I'd like to add...

Ancient Canada

[Clinton comment history]

Neither the martyr nor the violent sociopath has the approval of society. The one difference is, with the violent sociopath, it is mutual. -The Lichen

Ancient Canada

[Clinton comment history]

Arguing is miserable, but a delight compared to allowing a fool voice an unchallenged opinion. -Queen Erika of Svalbard

(Not sure I personally believe this one, but Erika did)

Ancient Canada

[Clinton comment history]

To be vulnerable is to be approachable, but to embrace it is to be invincible. -Little Andy

Ancient Canada

[Clinton comment history]

Wisdom and inspiration come when the spirit is at peace.

This is from one of the fables: http://ancientcanada.com/Ancient_Cana...

Ancient Canada

[Clinton comment history]

Be careful how you satire. You may be giving your victim an anthem.

Ancient Canada

[Clinton comment history]

Last one then I'll give up the mike. This is the one I'm most curious to hear thoughts on, so fire away! It's from another fable, but hasn't been posted yet on my site.

Failure is a chance for sympathy to succeed, and success a chance for it to fail.

"I used to wonder what I could do that hadn't already been done. And after ages of thinking- I realised everything had been done. Except me. I've never been done. And I will never be done again. So watch closely."
