One thousand days to learn; ten thousand days to refine. β Japanese Proverbs
Two things you will never have to chase: true friends and true love.
This was no friendship, to forsake your friend, To promise your support and at the end Abandon him-this was sheer treachery. Friend follows friend to hell and blasphemy- When sorrow comes one's true friends are found; In times of joy ten thousand gather round. β Farid al-Din Attar

Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not whether they be clergymen or laymen, they alone will shake the gates of Hell and set up the kingdom of Heaven upon Earth. β John Wesley
The two most important days in your life are the day you are born... and the day you find out why.
We all have inner demons to fight, we call these demons, fear and hatred and anger. If you do not conquer them then a life of one hundred years is a tragedy. If you do, then a life of a single day can be a triumph. β Yip Man
A true friend is the one who holds your hand and touches your heart. β Gabriel Garcia Marquez

All human beings have three lives: public, private, and secret. β Gabriel Garcia Marquez
More Two Thousand Quotes
With the wild nature as ally and teacher we see not through two eyes but through the many eyes of intuition. With intuition we are like the starry night, we gaze at the world through a thousand eyes.

The melting of the ice cap already allows cargo ships to make the journey through the Northwest Passage in the Canadian archipelago for several summer weeks a year, thus cutting a week from the transit time from Europe to China. The first cargo ship not to be escorted by an icebreaker went through in 2014 between Canada and China β a 40% shorter route and using deeper waters than if it had gone through the Panama Canal. This allowed the ship to carry more cargo, save tens of thousands of dollars in fuel costs, and reduced the shipβs greenhouse gas emissions by 1,300 metric tons. By 2040, the route is expected to be open for up to two months each year. β Tim Marshall
We have now a whistleblower inside the CMS, and we have two whistleblowers in the CDC. We think we have 50,000 dead Americans. Fifty thousand deaths. So we actually have more deaths due to the vaccine per day than certainly the viral illness by far. Itβs basically propagandized bioterrorism by injection. β Peter A. McCullough
The Nicaragua Grand Canal project is funded by a Hong Kong businessman who is adamant that the Chinese government not be involved in the project. Given the participation of Chinaβs government in all aspects of life, this is unusual. The $50-billion cost estimate for the project, which is due for completion in the early 2020s, is four times the size of the entire Nicaraguan economy. Exactly who is financially backing the project is unclear, but Nicaraguaβs president signed on the plan with alacrity and scarcely a glance at the 30,000 people who may be required to move from their lands. The canal will split the country in two and six municipalities will find themselves divided. There will be only one bridge across the canal along its entire length. The president argues the project will bring tens of thousands of jobs and much-needed investment and revenue to the second-poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. β Tim Marshall

Life cannot have had a random beginning. ... The trouble is that there are about two thousand enzymes, and the chance of obtaining them all in a random trial is only one part in 10 to the 40,000 power, an outrageously small probability that could not be faced even if the whole universe consisted of organic soup. β Fred Hoyle
I mean Iggy and The Stooges first couple of albums I think sold twenty five thousand between the two of them you know and so to talk in terms of an underground I mean you have to go really to the independent labels and things like that. β Lester Bangs

Lee

Muller

Thank God for the tsunami, and thank God that two thousand dead Swedes are fertilizing the ground over there [in Asia]. How many of these two thousand, do you suppose, were fags and dykes? This is how the Lord deals with His enemies. And the Lord has got some enemies. And Sweden heads the list. You filthy Swedes. You filthy Swedes! β Fred Phelps
The coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave but one'.... (The man who first said that) was probably a coward.... He knew a great deal about cowards but nothing about the brave. The brave dies perhaps two thousand deaths if he's intelligent. He simply doesn't mention them. β Ernest Hemingway
Sittin' here resting my bones, this loneliness won't leave me alone. Two thousand miles I roam, just to make this dock my home. I'm just gon' sit at the dock of the bay, watching the tide roll away. Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time. β Otis Redding

Because you have no memory for things that happened ten or twenty years ago, you're still mouthing the same nonsense as two thousand years ago.
