Is that supposed to be based on Chaos Theory...or is it just an unrelated quote wit the word chaos in it?

One of President John Henry Eden's inspirational quotes.
Curse you! I came in here to say "And now an inspirational quote from your President, John Henry Eden..."
I think a polite way of saying this is "ninja'd"

I'd like to add in a few.

"Trust and belief are two prime considerations. You must not allow yourself to be opinionated. You must say, "Wait. Let me see". And above all, you must be honest with yourself. "? James Dean

"But I think it's the imperfections in people that make them perfect. I don't find perfect faces very interesting." ?Keira Knightley

?Don?t ever take any shit off of anybody.? ?Johnny Depp

"Carpe Diem" Latin Phrase meaning 'Sieze the day'.

"People always throw rocks at what they don't understand."- Eliza Dushku

"If you don't get out of the box you've been raised in,you won't understand how much bigger the world is."- Angelina Jolie

"Time you enjoyed wasting, is not wasted time." -T.S. Eliot

"If you haven?t the strength to impose your own terms upon life, you must accept the terms it offers you."- T.S Eliot

"Don't eat yellow snow."

-Sound advice :p

My favourite has to be:

"There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. [...] Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, which presents the difficulties."

-Douglas Adams; 'Life, the Universe and Everything'.

I had the random want of putting up some thoughtful Neil Gaiman quotes (i'll only be doing the ones i thought were meaningful from American Gods at this time)

"Gods die. And when they truly die they are unmourned and unremembered. Ideas are more difficult to kill than people, but they can be killed, in the end." - Neil Gaiman

"All we have to believe with is our senses, the tools we use to perceive the world: our sight, our touch, our memory. If they lie to us, then nothing can be trusted. And even if we do not believe, then still we cannot travel in any other way than the road our senses show us; and we must walk that road to the end."

"There's never been a true war that wasn't fought between two sets of people who were certain they were in the right. The really dangerous people believe they are doing whatever they are doing solely and only because it is without question the right thing to do. And that is what makes them dangerous." - Mr Wednesday

"Fiction allows us to slide into these other heads, these other places, and look out through other eyes. And then in the tale we stop before we die, or we die vicariously and unharmed, and in the world beyond the tale we turn the page or close the book, and we resume our lives. A life that is, like any other, unlike any other."

That will do me for now, enjoy.

He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command.
Before all else, be armed.
If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared.
It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.

-Niccolo Machiavelli

I find these apply to my life.

That's the guy that's teaching tactics in AC2? Sweet!

OT:A ship in the harbor is safe, but that's not what ships are built for. -I don't know.

Innocence proves nothing
Hope begats dissapointment
Carry the Emperors will as your torch. With it destroy the shadows.

All the things from the bottom of the 40K rulebook. There is a quote like this on the bottom of every page. They really do cheer me up.
I am also quite fond of Churchill's we will not gp quietly into the night speech
