Favorite tech in game?

[Pangaea]

I believe this is the actual quote:

They who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

I quite like these as well.

"If you speak the truth, have a foot in the stirrup."

"Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies."

"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use."

In my early adolescence I had some problems with "Nietzsche" , but today I love his question explaining the feeling of Happiness. It's just so simple. I personally believe something that's even more simplistic, but for those loving Philosophy, those words might be truely helpful, so I think he really did something good with them. Of course most things in life are double-edged swords.

 

[Pangaea]

On that note, Seraiel, I love the quote in the intro of Baldur's Gate

"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster... when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you..." -- Friedrich Nietzsche

It really sets the mood, and a more fitting quote could hardly be found.

"And then she turns on that New York station, you know her life was saved by rock and roll."

Rock 'n' Roll

Industrialization

There is one rule for the industrialist and that is; make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible - Henry Ford

Sounds so sinister! Especially if you remove the last phrase

I've always been fond of:

Hunting
"If you chase two rabbits, you will lose them both." - Native American Saying

On that note, Seraiel, I love the quote in the intro of Baldur's Gate

"The great masses of the people ... will more easily fall victim to a big lie, than to a small one."

Adolf Hitler (Fascism)



These are my top ten favorites. Half because they are so refined, and the other half due to Nimoy's brilliant readings.

 

[Manco Capac]

Ha..I watched one of his vids some time ago. That guy is really bad at the game, but thinks he is good.

What? It's not a humor/joke video? Ooops, I got enthralled by his humoristic video I didn't see the lie behind it. Oh well...

My favorite quote is : "If I actually don't have bronze or copper around, this [Bronze Working] is gonna be a total waste"

People sure have an obsession on what kind of "debility" (yeah, badly chosen word. more like idiocy tending meaning in my world) I'm shouting here and there.
But, yeah, I hope the future will be better.
Like the humanity destroying itself...something like that. After my death ofc.

Regarding my favorite, it comes from a mod...and the voice actor is brittish, making the voiceover so damn good.

Man is a tool-using animal. Without tools he is nothing, with tools he is all.

Oh, I uploaded the voiceover...in the attachment.
