    To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
    Why sabre? Because you don't take heads with the point.

    To paraphrase the Heildelburg Catechism, man is on Earth to give glory to God.

    I would have recited it, but I couldn't find that particular question amidst the other 128 questions the catechism answers.

    That's a quote from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

    Here's another answer to what's the meaning of life? quote:
    "one" Curley, City Slickers.

    I actually think this one really fits.

    The purpose of life is to find the answer to the question you've proposed. The answer is different for all of us, and so it's not a question that there is a stock answer to.

    This is much in line with the City Slicker quote. What's the secret of life..... just one thing. You have to figure out what that one thing is for you.

    I'm still searching.

    if we knew that, then there'd be no point to life anymore. kinda like taking a class you already got an A in all over again. life is all about discovery of oneself. if you've discovered all there is to discover then its boring. besides...just fence!!

    Eat. Sleep. Procreate. Fence. Not necessarily in order of importance.

    I must disagree there - even knowing the purpose of life, one can enjoy fulfilling it!
