What does this quote mean ?

Beautiful lotus without a scent like him who doesn't act accordingly. Bussihism taught a life not by rule, but by principle, a life of beauty; and as a consequence, it was a religion of tolerance. It was the most charitable system under the sun. Thanks guys Nicole:)

This has been bugging me for days now. Its stuck in my head and I can't remember where I got it from. A girl rips a boys shirt (no its not a sexy porn movie or anything) And he says '<name> that was my favorite shirt!' and she says 'how can you tell, you have a dozen others like it' ...

Does anyone know what this saying actually means in relation to oil and renewable resources? "it wasn't running out of stones that led to the end of the stone age"

I heard a quote the other day that I liked and now I forgot it and where I heard it. It goes something like this Theres the truth... (something like opinions or lies), and (something to do with opinion census being worse than lies?) I'm sorry but I have very little info on it. There's 3 parts...

I'm looking for a quote that says the same thing as, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." Thanks.
