Statement of Purpose Grinding and Compiling an Action Plan

Greetings and Lamentations,

Update: So far the Ninjas have been unsuccessful, or they have very slow acting Dim Mak. They might just have better things to do? Curses, foiled again.

One has been researching materials for the Statement of Purpose (Credo) and the Action Plan (Villain Bill of Rights). These endeavors led to the Heroes, and while researching them and the Villains that are already out there, it was found that these same questions being posed in this blog, are nothing new. They've all been posted already by various Villains and Heroes, seeking these same answers. Youtube and MySpace have been a revelation. To see some of this, go to the works of Lord Chain, Phantom Zero, Sword Kane, and Zetaman. With this in mind, we can move ahead in our plans, and join up with the unanswered questions already out there.

The research went further still, into literature, and culture. These quotes are some of the best of what there is in life: Beauty and Truth. Enjoy, and draw from them what inspiration you may;

"Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans; that the moment one definitely commits oneself, Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one, That would otherwise never have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, Raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and Meetings and material assistance, which no person could Have dreamt would have come his or her way. Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute! Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it! Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it." -D. L. Willis

"Men have called me mad, but the question is not yet settled weather madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence - whether all that is profound - does not spring from disease of thought, from moods of mind exalted at the expenses of the general intellect.".
-Edgar Allen Poe

"If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that. "

"The phrases that men hear or repeat continually, end by becoming convictions and ossify the organs of intelligence."

"Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now."

"You must either conquer and rule or lose and serve, suffer or triumph, and be the anvil or the hammer."

"Where there is much light, the shadow is deep."

"Correction does much, but encouragement does more. Encouragement after censure is as the sun after a shower."

"A great deal of talent is lost to the world for want of a little courage. Every day sends to their graves obscure men whom timidity prevented from making a first effort."

"If you treat an individual as he is, he will stay as he is; but if you treat him as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be."
-The previous 8 quotes from Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

"Great wits are sure to madness near allied, and thin partitions do their bounds divide." -John Dryden

"Thus I draw from the absurd three consequences, which are my revolt, my freedom, and my passion. By the mere activity of consciousness I transform into a rule of life what was an invitation to death, and I refuse suicide."
(From the Myth of Sisyphus) - Camus

"We are oft to blame in this. 'Tis too much proved that with devotion's visage and pious action we do sugar o'er the devil himself." Hamlet 3.1.46-49

"And thus I clothe my naked villainy/With old odd ends, stol'n forth of holy writ;/And seem a saint, when most I play the devil." Richard III (play) 1.3.336-38

"Conceal me what I am, and be my aid/For such disguise and haply shall become/The form of my intent." Twelfth Night
The previous three quotes from William Shakespeare, and found in the Movie "V for Vendetta". I hold, V as a patron of Villainy.
