"The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. Instead of altering their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views...which can be very uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering."

TCLouisEvery record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” — George Orwell from his book "1984"

"eat it or wear it"

shanksponyWas going to grab a line from this poem, but then started reading it again, and decided to post the whole thing. So much truth in it.
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

shanksponyCheers NC,
I was actually thinking of this part when looking for it.
quote:
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
Randomly because Id just had a conversation about the falseness of Facebook "Likes" and how addictive and rewarding social media approval is. And that we accept it unquestioning yet recoil at criticism. Id mentioned that if Kipling were live today, this is what those lines would be about.

NormanConquestThat's a good analogy, not just from 'facebook' but from many walks of life. Personally, I don't get on Facebook but will look at ones that friends have posted.

There appears to be some disagreement about whose quote it actually is so I left that part out, irregardless I think it's a good one.
