Favorite quotes?
What are your favorite quotes? A few of mine:
"It takes a strong man to save himself, and a great man to save another." - The Shawshank Redemption
"The probability that we may fall in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just; it shall not deter me." - Abraham Lincoln
"I got to thinking about relationships...There are those that open you up to something new,
Those that are old and familar,
Those that bring up lots of questions,
Those that bring you somewhere unexpected,
Those that bring you far from where you started,
and those that bring you back.
But the most exciting, challenging, and signifigant relationship is the one you have with yourself, and if you find someone to love the you you love -- well that's just fabulous! "- Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City

i have a TON of favorites (i actually hae a book taht i write them all down in- i was That obsessed)... but i'll have to write more later. One of my ALL time favorites though is:
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Re: Favorite quotes?
Only worry about the things you have control over. I really try to live by this. If I find myself worrying over something that I know I have control over, I try to take a proactive stance.

Re: Favorite quotes?
Way too many, but here's a few:
Life is not about the number of breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away.
I have in irrepressible desire to live till I can be assured that the world is a little better for my having lived in it. > Abraham Lincoln
We have the power to make this the best generation of mankind in the history of the world--or to make it the last.> John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Good advice is always certain to be ignored, but that's no reason not to give it.> Agatha Christie
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. > Winston Churchill
Every man dies, not every man really lives >Braveheart
No one has the right to feel hopeless, there's too much work to do. > Dorothy Day
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. >Ferris Bueller's Day Off

"20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do, than by the ones you did."
"Love, I've come to understand, is more than three words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other everyday."

Re: Favorite quotes?
another favorite:
To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Re: Favorite quotes?
It's a small world but I wouldn't want to paint it.
Sometimes you have to do what you don't want to do in order to get where you wanna go.
Never think that God's delays are God's denials. Hold on; hold fast; hold out. Patience is genius.". George-Louis Leclerc de Buffon

Re: Favorite quotes?
From Jewel's Life Uncommon
"Come on you unbelievers
Move out of the way
There's a new army coming
and we are armed with faith
to live, we must give to live
And lend our voices only to sounds of freedom
no longer lend our strength
to that which we wish to be free from
Fill our lives with love and bravery
and we shall lead a life uncommon"
From Dead Poets Society:
"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be? "

Re: Favorite quotes?
"Well, I believe in the soul, the c***, the p****, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days..."

One's life shrinks or expands according to one's courage.
-Anais Nin
And then the day came, when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
-Anais Nin
Listen to the Mustn'ts, child
listen to the don'ts
listen to the shouldn't
the impossibles, the wont's
listen to the never haves
then listen close to me-
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
-Shel Silverstein
