You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." . . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
-Eleanor Roosevelt

Does anyone else love quote too?

"Turn up the good, turn down the suck"

-FuBar the movie

" There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics. "

Mark Twain

" Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. "

Corinthian 13:4-7

It's always better to ask for forgiveness than permission!

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but rising every time we do." - Confuciu

IF you can keep your head when all about you 
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools: 

If you can make one heap of all your winnings 
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Rudyard Kipling

Pick which bit you want to quote because I can't !!!!!!

"Love takes up where knowledge leaves off"......(St Thomas Aquinas)

"Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret"........(Ambrose Bierce)

"Work like you don't need the money

Love like you've never been hurt

Dance like no one's watching"     (Crystal Boyd)

Resist much, obey little.

Walt Whitman

 GOOD ONE :) That one is a reading from the letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians, and it is the #1 typical reading at Catholic weddings. I love it.

 I swear, its the #1 quotable movie. There are so many...

"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't -- you're right." -- I don't know who made this quote

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

"Smile pretty and kick some ass."- Ani DiFranco

"Every man I meet wants to protect me. I can't figure out what from."-Mae West

I admit to being  LOTR junkie...Tolkien's writing is spellbinding to me.

"Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens."

"Little by little one travels far."

All the above by JRR Tolkien

Kurt Cobain

 

Prince Charming: You! You can't lie! Where is Shrek?
Pinocchio: Well, uh, I don't know where he's not.
Prince Charming: You don't know where Shrek is?
Pinocchio: On the contrary.
Prince Charming: So you do know where he is!
Pinocchio: I'm possibly more or less not definitely rejecting the idea that I undeniably do or do not know where he shouldn’t probably be, if that indeed wasn’t where he isn’t. Even if he wasn’t at where I knew he was, that’d mean I’d really have to know where he wasn't.

I love it.  Just Love it.
