>For your enjoyment, here is a mish-mash of quotes. Some anglo-saxon, some not. Typical of what is repeated and in most books on quotations or used in other writings:

Just can't resist, seeing them in a message...

>Imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality

And then there are the peaceful means...

>You must believe in free will; there is no choice.

What if the accent was on "believe", not "must"? If you want free will, you have no other choice but to believe in it, or else it won't exist

>In life we all have an unspeakable secret, an irreversible regret, an unreachable dream and an unforgettable love.

Of course, where else.

>Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something

Anglosaxon, by construction. "Have to" means "must" in English only.

>Useless laws weaken necessary laws.

Anglosaxon, by observation :). Just yesterday we discussed the cases where teenagers would end up branded as sex offenders and on Megan's list (or whatever the name) for just minor infractions - a girl puts her own topless photos on facebook and gets branded forever for peddling child porn; a guy takes a girl to dinner with their common friends, and someone's parents report them and he ends up branded as an offender. Whereas the Duke guys got off.

>An empire founded by war has to maintain itself by war

"You can do anything with bayonets, except sit on them" - Napoleon (allegedly)
