Thread: Quotes

Ah, I do love my quotes. By listening to the wisdom of others, you might just avoid a few obstacles they encountered. Hey, that's another good one. Back off, it's mine, your not getting it...

Happiness keeps You Sweet,
Trials keep You Strong,
Sorrows keep You Human,
Failures keeps You Humble,
Success keeps You Glowing,

Another one who's origins elude me, but I think it's still worth listening to. I think who ever thought this one up hit the nail on the head pretty much.

Though it might not have been intended, thins one makes me think that your past will always be there, it's effects visible in the person you've become. Just look to the first quote I listed to see what I mean...

Be who you are & say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter & those who matter don’t mind.

OK, let's see who can guess who said this one. A friend on another site pointed this one out to me, hidden in one of the stickers she made. Meaning wise, Just be yourself cause those that mock you don't matter.

Do you really want to know who said it...

I think he might have to think a bit more about what he's gonna say before he says it. And to make things worse...

Not the best pic, but you get the drift...

Oh, & this one I just had to put on here...

Such nice people...

Well, that'll do for now. I'll save the next one on my list for next time. I'll probably end up as a entire post in itself...

Someone once told me when I was wasting time, getting drunk, and not caring about anything;

Think before you act, then speak according to your actions.

Ever since then, it was my drive, because I did something very messed up, and been trying to set things right ever since.

here is some qoutes i like
Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies.
Wise men speak because they have something to say, fools speak because they have to say something.
Those who say that violence is'nt the answer never understood the question.
The devils greatest trick was convuncing the world he dose not exist
The devil makes work for idle hands.

Well, this is the one I mentioned earlier. Looks like it will be an entire post to itself.

I originally got it in one of those chain letter Emails that go around. I normally just delete them without a thought, but I liked the message in this one, so I copied it then deleted it. Virtually never send them off again...

Stress

A
lecturer when explaining stress management to an
audience,
Raised a glass of water and asked
'How heavy is
this glass of water?'

Answers called out ranged from 20g to
500g.

The lecturer replied, 'The absolute weight doesn't
matter.
It depends on how long you try to hold it.

If I
hold it for a minute, that's not a
problem.

If
I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right
arm.


If
I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.


In
each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the
heavier it becomes.'

He
continued,

'And
that's the way it is with stress
management.


If
we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later,


As
the burden becomes increasingly heavy,

We
won't be able to carry on. '

'As
with the glass of water,

You
have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it
again.

When
we're refreshed, we can carry on with the
burden.'

I think it speaks for itself really...

I reciently got another good quote in a chain letter Email, so I might put that one on the next post. Till then...

quoted from a beloved character from charlie and friends

if life is a pieceof cake...

Qoute:
"The only thing needed for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"
-Edmude Burke-

This was a man who saw alot of terrible things in his life yet strove to become one of Africas greatest influences of freedom and equality. This qoute was not just ment for any one single person. This is one of those things that we all need to take a look at and then reflect upon. Trying to relate it to our own lives being the ultimate goal. Have you ever seen or heard something that caused you or some one else pain? Hmmmm. Kinda makes you think doesn't it? Being a good man does not mean sticking your neck out for some total stranger. If you think about it, just offering a helping hand to someone who looks to be in need can make a world of difference in that persons life. Just think of how much better our world could be if we just took the time to stop being so self involved and started offering our skills and benificial acts to others every once in a while. You might find that if we go back to being the "Nieghbors" our fore fathers were, we might just get alot more accomplished in our futures. Just a thought.
