Have quotes that somehow touched you or inspired you in a way?Inspirational quotes?(be it love,friendship,quotes by famous people,religious,from a movie,or a line from a song).Quotes you've received from text messages and you were like surprise because it somehow applies to your current situation? Please share it here. I'd love to hear from people all over the world. Thanks!
Here are some of my favourite's:
"They say one day our life will flash before our eyes.MAke it worth watching."
"Love is when you walk all the way to the other side of the classroom to sharpen your pencil inorder to walk by him. Then you realize that your pencil.... is a mechanical one.:)"
"We choose how we see people. When we want to like someone,we can be so tolerant.When we want to be irritated by people,we focus on their faults. It's not other people's behaviour that determines how we feel about them -it's our attitude."
"A ship that stays in the harbor never encounters danger.. but it never gets anywhere.. Learn to dream and make it happen."
"One cannot question the existence of feelings;they are there,raw and undeniable. But one can choose to not nurture what is felt. Yet,no matter what they say,what has been felt will always be more honest than what was chosen.Hence, true realities are not built by the mind but by the heart.So if your caught between what your mind thinks is right vs. what your heart feels is right,it is always safer to follow your heart."
"Life's pretty simple.When you're asking for apple and life hands you lemons,make lemonade. If you're on your way out,and it starts to rain,at least you dont have to water the plants later. It's a matter of seeing things in perspective.The benefits may not be immediate nor obvious,but you have to know this for sure: there will be struggles,there will be problems..Have faith..Enjoy life..Take it easy.."
Keep smiling everyone!:)

There are two in particular that I really like.
"We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided" - Professor Dumbledore in Harry Potter and The Goblet Of Fire.
Another one that I LOVE is "Not until we are lost do we begin to find ourselves." A friend told me that when my abusive ex partner tried to kill me.
I was ready to give up on everything, but she quoted that at me, and told me that only once I'd broken free of him could I spread my wings and show my true worth. I'm glad she did that for me. She saved me.

Thanks! That's a very simple and common quote yet very enlightening! It's a good quote to live by everyday! It reminds us to think carefully about our actions coz we're the one who's gonna suffer in the end when things go wrong. I love it! Thanks SureshNair!

Quotes I made up:
"When searching for truth, look inward, first"
"If one takes their love away, that does not make your love for them, less meaningful"
"Change does not hold a magical wand. The magic is in the action you take to cause the change"
From "The Thorn Birds":
There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the earth. From the moment it leaves the nest, it searches for a thorn tree and does not rest until it finds one. Then, singing among the savage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony to out-carol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But, the whole world stills to listen and God in His heaven smiles. For the best is only bought at the price of great pain...or so says the legend"
"Honor is the gift a man gives himself" - Rob Roy (movie)

Whew thanks!! Love it! Here's another quote i'd like to add to that: "It's not what people do to us that hurts us.In the most fundamental sense,it is our chosen response to what they do to us that hurts us." and here's another one:"All the water in the world could never sink a ship unless it gets inside. Just the same, all the pressures of the world can't tear you apart and can never hurt you unless you let it in." Thanks for sharing sandeep_t!! I really love quotes that inspires me to be the best that I can be..thanks!! take care!

Here are some of my all-time favorite quotes:
"Never apologize for showing what you feel. Remember that when you do so, you're apologizing for the truth."
"In our desire to find love, we hurt people.. in our desire to keep it, we hurt ourselves.."
"If they're leaving, don't make a reason for me to stay.. Instead, make a reason for them to return.."
These are just some of the quotes that really moved me.. Sometimes when I'm all alone all of a sudden my phone would beep then a message would came in, a friend sent me a message without knowing that that simple message or sometimes a forwarded one would really make my day. That's how inspiring a quote could be..=)

Love is like a roll of tissue paper; you realize its worth when you're at the last piece and see that all was wasted on s***. -gawa ni bf
The couple that creates together, stays together.
Close your eyes and make a wish; angels will be there to blow to you a kiss; they will guide your way, and make your dreams come true, like what they did when I asked for someone like you.
The ink of the pen is the blood of the writer's heart.
If A is equal to success, then the formula is: A=X+Y+Z. X is work; Y is play, and Z is keep your mouth shut. -Einstein

the quote i like the most is WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY

I like that too. Here in the Philippines,it's quoted as "If there is a will,there is a way". I soooo believe in this quote. I've always believe that life should have no room for stupid excuses. Because if you really want something bad enough, you can surely find a way to get or achieve it.
