Famous quotes by Democritus:

"Hope of ill gain is the beginning of loss"

"I would rather discover one true cause than gain the kingdom of Persia"

"Happiness does not reside in strength or money; it lies in rightness and many-sidedness"

"It is greed to do all the talking but not to want to listen at all"

"If thou suffer injustice, console thyself; the true unhappiness is in doing it"

"Our sins are more easily remembered than our good deeds."

"Throw moderation to the winds, and the greatest pleasures bring the greatest pains"

"The wrongdoer is more unfortunate than the man wronged."

"Raising children is an uncertain thing; success is reached only after a life of battle and worry"

"Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion"

"Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul."

"I would rather discover one true cause than gain the kingdom of Persia."

"It is godlike ever to think on something beautiful and on something new."

"Raising children is an uncertain thing; success is reached only after a life of battle and worry."

"Throw moderation to the winds, and the greatest pleasures bring the greatest pains."

"If thou suffer injustice, console thyself; the true unhappiness is in doing it."

"Now as of old the gods give men all good things, excepting only those that are baneful and injurious and useless. These, now as of old, are not gifts of the gods: men stumble into them themselves because of their own blindness and folly."

"Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion."

"Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence."

"It is greed to do all the talking but not to want to listen at all."

This is a course I've made for discussion, so please leave comments below. Some of the ideas of Democritus are introduced and several questions are open for debate. 1) Do you consider yourself an atomist? If yes, what is the smallest, indivisible part? 2) Do you think the universe is teleological, mechanistic, both, or neither? 3) Do you agree that wicked men suffer more than their victims? 4) Do you agree that we should be happy with as little as possible? 5) Do you agree that 'greater desires mean greater lacks'? 6) One of the many great fragments which Democritus left us with is 'he whom all fear, fears all'. Do you agree?

Anyway, the notion of atoms dates back to an ancient Greek philosopher named Democritus, who first proposed that it just wasn’t possible to keep dividing matter into smaller and smaller bits; at some point, you would reach the smallest possible piece, which he dubbed “atomos” (“not to be cut”)....(size: 11.1Kb)

Top Democratas, Tu N Vai Mais Me Ver

[Casey Lee]
The B to the L
The A to the Z to the E
Early twenties, girls by the twenties
Rims by 'em twenty
Never gin slide me Henney
Blunts roll in twenties
Got my stunts holdin' semis
Blaze in the Bentley
Be like Jay, come and get me
Straight from Q-U-E percisely 40P
[Rah Digga]
Yo you that brother that I always see on Mtv
I ain't cop your album, got it off the mp3
But it's hot though take it from another emcee
That's what I'm tryna be
[Casey Lee]
Shorty it's the M-O-N-E-Y
My wrists will leave your eyes B-L-I-N-D
My passion for poetry
And parting from poverty
Leaves me in position to mold my own like pottery
[Rah Digga](Joy Bryant)
Heh, ain't really sweatin' you brother
We tryna parly see
(I heard A R was short for arm robbery)
I heard selling records is like hitting the lottery
[Casey Lee]
All you need is talent shorty
Blaze got plenty, shorty holla, come on
The B, the L, the A, the Z, the E
The B, the L, the A, the Z, the E
The B, the L, the A, the Z, the E
The B, the L, the A, the Z, the E

[Casey Lee](Joy Bryant)
If you start from my toes, to my dome like Gators
Iceburg, Gucci, my head cap is Raiders
CD so hot you gotta play hot potato
And Premo won't even take me out with the fader
Cause my voice is laid with paper
My crib, Jamaica
You know the action, get planes built to go there
(What about your Grammy?)
Got it chillin' at my mother's crib
Right next to the Golden Globe, for actin' like I give a shit
[Rah Digga]
What you talkin' bout?
Diamond life, you livin' it
Benji's, Bentley's
Your cash flow is infinite
[Casey Lee]
But you know there's more to life than videos, they're different
Cali is where it's at
And that's a wrap, my lip I'm zippin it
The B, the L, the A, the Z, the E
The B, the L, the A, the Z, the E
The B, the L, the A, the Z, the E

Top Democratas, Seu Namorado Um Idiota

Gotta rush away she said
Ive been to Boston before
anyway, this change I've been feeling
doesn't make the rain fall
No big differences these days
Just the same old walkways
Someday Im going to stay
but not today

Top Democratas, Se Algum Dia Eu N Acordar

Proud to be out
Got shit from people, telling me that I'm not in
Saying that I got stuck in time and that my image isn't hip
New-school hardcore ain't for me, another commercial trend
Yeah, I'm proud to be out, I'll respect my roots 'til the end

Top Democratas, Pra Gente Poder Cagar Feliz

Center is where I see myself
In the beginning I'm sitting in
The middle of a crowded Room
Nobody hears me trying to reach
Out just trying to scream out.
I'm so pathetic is how I see myself
I'm just a joke I'm running out this life
People tell me not to waste it but
How can I taste it when I never lived
When I never loved when I never lied.
I'm just a stain I'm trying to make my mark
On a spot that's been dark for a long time
Been along time since I've panicked broken down
The systematic life that god gave me.
So try to save my faith that's going out
The window that I'm looking' down from
One more step and ill be on the ground
From a sinner try and tell me I am a true
Believer well ho I never was.
You'll probably run and hide
Life reality hits me in the stomach
Aches like a fist in my mouth
I should have said nothing to make
Everything fall apart in my face
Well you're the one who's crying
So try to see the world through the
Flipside running out of line with no
Ever watching my back ah cold
Never seem to realize
I'm not your wanna be

Top Democratas, O Cara Legal

There's something I have to tell you
Before it's too late
There's someone needs a timing
I could be the same
Got to listen to you clearly
Would you understand it all
Would you hold it all together
Do we run up in the bar
Everyone needs someone to listen to
If you don't want to shine on
Could you know it all
And if someone lay before you know it could be true
A voice in the crowd
You came upon a (?)
Just an alibi
Did you have to go do it
Do you feel you want to try
But if you'd only see the reason why (?)
When someone came, someone rose, someone left
I don't know if you could be sure
But you don't understand
And if the days were good
You'll never know the way we planned
And if the time is there for severancing and sentiment
A voice in the crowd
A voice in the crowd

Top Democratas, N Quero Querer

Music by Elton John
Available on the album Tumbleweed Connection
You tell me there's an angel in your tree
Did he say he'd come to call on me
For things are getting desperate in our home
Living in the parish of the restless folks I know
Everybody now bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep
Burn down the mission
If we're gonna stay alive
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
See the red flame light the sky
Burn down the mission
Burn it down to stay alive
It's our only chance of living
Take all you need to live inside
Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today
My wife cried when they came to take me away
But what more could I do just to keep her warm
Than burn burn burn burn down the mission walls

BERTIE
I've invariably found
That feet kept on the ground
Allow the grass to grow
Check your mirrors front and rear
Slip smoothly into gear
Then hit the road and go
Feel the pistons steady beat
The camshaft 'neath your feet
That big end start to fly...
JEEVES
May I advise a modicum of caution, sir...
BERTIE
He who hesitates is lost
Burn bridges once they're crossed
Don't stop to say goodbye
JEEVES
There is a blind corner approaching, sir...
BERTIE
My philosophy's to travel hopefully
And making each day that I survive
An opportunity to share the company
That welcomes me when I arrive
Hark the mistle-thrush's cry
The hedge-rows rushing by
The curlew on the wing
JEEVES
That is a crow, sir.
BERTIE
List! Some distant church's bells
'Midst bracing country smells
Those fields of golden - thing...
JEEVES
Corn, sir.
BERTIE
My philosophy's to travel hopefully
And making each day that I survive
An opportunity to share the company
That welcomes me when I arrive
Travel's broadened out my mind
Until today you'll find...
JEEVES
The widest head I know...
BERTIE
Thank you, Jeeves. You did say wisest, didn't you?
JEEVES
Oh yes, sir.
BERTIE
Every traveller I meet
I'll always stop to greet
JEEVES
Be careful how you go, sir...
BERTIE
My philosophy's to travel hopefully
And making each day that I survive
An opportunity to share the company
That welcomes me when I arrive
Travel hopefully with me
And I will guarantee
There'll be no pause for doubt
Hit the nearest country track
No time for looking back
Look onwards and - look out!!!!

Top Democratas, 20 Minute Girl

Eu me lembro como se fosse ontem
Quando o coraçao se partiu
Eu fiquei te olhando por 20 minutos
E tu nem sequer me viu
Eu fiquei imóvel
Não pude reagir
Pois na hora estava tão inseguro
Que nao ia realmente conseguir
Mas hoje estou aqui cantando pra você
E nem sei se isso é bom ou se é ruim
Mas de uma coisa eu quero ter certeza
é que você vai lembrar de mim
Noutro dia eu estava no meu canto
Quando vi você me olhando
Não estava acreditando no que estava se passando
E se você estivesse brincando?
Dessa vez não hesitei
Não podia deixar passar
Mas deixa eu te contar o que ela fez comigo
Um fora ela veio me dar
Mas hoje estou aqui cantando pra você
E nem sei se isso é bom ou se é ruim
Mas de uma coisa eu quero ter certeza
é que você vai lembrar de mim
é que você vai lembrar de mim

Top Democratas, Melhor Assim

Depois que aconteceu
Não quero nem lembrar
Você pra mim morreu
Tenho que acostumar
Perder, pois, é normal
Não pode ser ruim
Não quero falar mal, mas
Talvez melhor assim
Achar um outro alguém
Não vai ser fácil, não
Mas ficar sem ninguém
é pura solidão
Não quero a solidão
Prefiro até morrer
A fúria do meu coração
Não me trará você
Mas pra que eu vou viver
Se não for, se não for por você
E não dá, já tentei esquecer
Ilusão pra mim é você
Perder, pois, é normal
Não pode ser ruim
Não quero falar mal, mas
Talvez melhor assim
Mas pra que eu vou viver
Se não for, se não for por você
E não dá, já tentei esquecer
Ilusão pra mim é você
Nunca vou ter você pra mim |

Top Democratas, Frases Engasgadas

Quando tu falou que não queria mais
Minha luz se apagou e perdi a minha paz
E nem deu tempo pra eu te explicar
Que o meu sentimento era grande demais
Tenho muitas frases engasgadas no meu peito
E lá se encontram pela tua incompreensão
E pra piorar tudo eu me lembro de você
A garota pra quem dei meu coração
Não posso mais viver sem ter você
E apesar de tu sempre se fazer de louca
Eu sei que você quer
Se estou dizendo isso é porque pensei, pensei
E concluí que nós devemos ficar juntos

Top Democratas, Se Algum Dia Eu No Acordar

Imagina se um dia eu não acordar
Quem vai puxar assunto com você?
Quem vai mentir que você é legal?
Imagina se um dia eu morrer
Você iria se arrepender
De nunca ter dito tudo que eu perguntava
E eu vou morrer sem nunca saber
Que você, no fundo, me amava
Você choraria?
Se lamentaria?
Será que algum dia eu vou saber?
Mas eu também me arrependeria
Pois pra ti eu nunca me declarei
E agora também eu nem poderia
Declarar-me e eu nunca mais poderei
E isso faz com que eu me sinta mal
E nem se passa na sua cabeça
Que tudo que eu quero é ter você
Mas não creio que isso um dia aconteça
Será que algum dia....
A gente poderia...
Por que eu não posso ser feliz?
Vai ver é porque eu não deva
Ter você pra mim
Pode deixar assim
Imagina se um dia eu não acordar
Quem vai puxar assunto com você?
Quem vai mentir que você é legal?
Imagina se um dia eu morrer
Será que algum dia....
A gente poderia...
Por que eu não posso ser feliz?
Vai ver é porque eu não deva
Ter você pra mim
Pode deixar assim
Se algum dia eu não acordar

Top Democratas, Punhado De Palavras Bonitas

Indo para um mundo sem perdão
Como se eu estivesse
Fugindo de casa
Sinto um aperto no coração
Minha cabeça enlouquece
Alguém me abraça
Me diz um punhado
De palavras bonitas
Pra me alegrar
Eu não sou abobado
Muito menos egoísta
Só quero acordar

Top Democratas, No Quero Querer

Lembro que tu disse
Que apesar de estar com ele
Tudo que querias
Era estar aqui comigo
Por favor não me diz isso
Não machuca o coração
Esse cara é meu amigo
E eu não quero confusão
Não chega mais perto
Não quero te ver
Tudo que eu sentia
Ainda existe em mim
E não me olhe assim
Procure entender
Que tudo que eu quero
é não querer você
Acho bom tu te apressar e então
Tomar uma decisão
Senão o tempo passa
E tudo acaba em solidão
Por favor, pensa como eu
Vamos conversar então
E se algo aconteceu
Eu não vou dar continuação
Chega mais perto
Eu quero te ver
Todu que eu sentia
Cresceu dentro de mim
E já que é assim
Nem quero saber
Pois tudo que eu quero
é não perder você

"Hope of ill gain is the beginning of loss"

"I would rather discover one true cause than gain the kingdom of Persia"

"Happiness does not reside in strength or money; it lies in rightness and many-sidedness"

"It is greed to do all the talking but not to want to listen at all"

"If thou suffer injustice, console thyself; the true unhappiness is in doing it"

"Our sins are more easily remembered than our good deeds."

"Throw moderation to the winds, and the greatest pleasures bring the greatest pains"

"The wrongdoer is more unfortunate than the man wronged."

"Raising children is an uncertain thing; success is reached only after a life of battle and worry"

"Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion"

"Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul."

"I would rather discover one true cause than gain the kingdom of Persia."

"It is godlike ever to think on something beautiful and on something new."

"Raising children is an uncertain thing; success is reached only after a life of battle and worry."

"Throw moderation to the winds, and the greatest pleasures bring the greatest pains."

"If thou suffer injustice, console thyself; the true unhappiness is in doing it."

"Now as of old the gods give men all good things, excepting only those that are baneful and injurious and useless. These, now as of old, are not gifts of the gods: men stumble into them themselves because of their own blindness and folly."

"Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion."

"Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence."

"It is greed to do all the talking but not to want to listen at all."
