favorite quote?

what's your favorite quote of all times?

mine is.. "the only things in this life that you really regret are the risks you didn't take. and god knows if you see a chance to be happy, you grab it with both hands and to hell with the consequences." - jack lemmon (john gustefsen), grumpy old men.

First 3 are from various Pearl Jam songs:

"I'll ride the wave where it takes me."
"Makes much more sense to live in the Present Tense."
"You can't be neutral on a moving train."

"Trying is the first step towards failure." (haha... Homer Simpson)
"Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile." (Simon & Garfunkel)

"And then I felt wonderful. I felt the way I feel after
I'm halfway through my third drink, which is the way I
wish all moments in life felt: heightened with the
sense that anything could happen at any moment — that the reason being alive is so important is that just
when you least expect it, you might receive just what
you least expect." (Douglas Coupland)

If you always do what you always did...you will always get what you always got.

What's mine is mine & what's your's is mine.

I don't think I can decide on a favorite but here are two good ones:

"Love is the most dangerous craving of all, if you ask me.  
It turns us into people we aren't.  It makes us feel like hell, 
and makes us walk on water.  It ruins us for anything else. " 
- Jodi Picoult's Vanishing Acts

"Love is like pi - natural, irrational and very important"
- I'm not sure who said that one

ETA: Since I just watched Kung Fu Panda...
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift - that's why it's called present."  (It's just cute!)

What a great thread! Mine is definately

"Do one thing each day that scares you" -Eleanor Roosevelt

My son put this on his high school graduation announcements:

You start the game life with a full pot of luck and an empty pot of experience.

The trick is to fill the pot of experience before you empty the pot of luck. 

"carpe diem"   seize the day   :]

okay...these are mine.....

"Friends are God's way of apologising for family"

Amen to that one seratuki :) My favorite new one is "You can't control whether or not an anxious thought pops into your head.  But YOU can choose to table it rather than get swept up by it.

"Open mouth, insert foot."

"I didn't mean to say that but it just came out like word vomit."

Words to live by, apparently.

Be who you are and say what you feel; because those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter.
