Lessons from South Park

WENDY (on how to handle losing)
You see, I’ve learned something today.
You can’t win all the time. And if you
don’t win… You certainly can’t hold
it against the person who DID,
because… That’s the only way you
ever really lose.
[Raisins - Season 7]
Butters (on being brokenhearted)
Wuh-ell yeah, and I’m sad, but at the same time
I’m really happy that somethin’ could make me feel that sad.
It’s like, ih ih, ih it makes me feel alive, you know?
It makes me feel human.
And the only way I could feel this sad now is
if I felt somethin’ really good before.
So I have to take the bad with the good,
so I guess what I’m feelin’ is like a, beautiful sadness.
guess that sounds stupid…
[I'm a little bit country - Season 7]
(Cartman - on America and War)
I learned somethin’ today.
This country was founded by some of the smartest thinkers the world has ever seen.
And they knew one thing: that a truely great country can go to war,
and at the same time, act like it doesn’t want to. [a shot of the crowd]
You people who are for the war, you need the protesters.
Because they make the country look like it’s made of sane, caring individuals.
And you people who are anti-war, you need these flag-wavers,
because, if our whole country was made up of nothing but soft pussy protesters,
we’d get taken down in a second.
That’s why the founding fathers decided we should have both.
It’s called "having your cake and eating it too."
[The Super Best Friends - Season 5]
STAN (on cult and religions)
Listen up, everyone! You don’t need
David Blaine to tell you how to live.
You see, cults are dangerous because
they promise you hope, happiness, and
maybe even an afterlife, but in return
they demand you pay money. Any
religion that requires you to pay money
in order to move up and learn it’s
tenants is WRONG. You see, all
religions have something valuable to
teach, but just like the Super Best
Friends learned, it requires a little
bit of them all.
