throughout my life ive always been a fan of quotes.. i like to do cryptograms/crytoquotes etc and just hear random quotes.. theres only been a few in my life i really loved..
1- if you have no destination.. any road will lead you there
i love that quote being that i spent half a decade hitch hiking around the country with no destination in mind
2- if you cant find something worth living for.. find something worth dying for
anyways id like to know all of your favorite quotes.. i dont mind if you post funny ones like 'he who stands on toilet is high on pot' haha but im looking more for quites that can inspire

I already started a discussion once myself about my favorite Winston Churchill quotes, so I won't include any of those because that would be redundant, but here are some, ummmm, quotes? Ooops! Never mind, but you've given me a good idea for my next 'discussion'.... smirk.

You're begging for redundancy here because I also started a discussion with my favorite coffee quotes. If I can think of any others that I haven't already posted in my own discussions, then I will for sure post them here! I'm sure I'll come up with something, just give me a minute or two.

I really like this one:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightening about shrinking so other people won’t feel insecure around you..."
--Often accredited to Nelson Mandela, although he didn't actually write it.

I don't believe either... I'm more into Buddhism... but you can make the quote work.

I like those! :)
I was looking for a quote for my myspace page several months ago, when I searched the net and found a few I liked. I hope you don't mind if I share them with you here.
1) "Everybody is somebody else's weirdo."
2) "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow."
3) "If you can't make a mistake, you can't make anything."
4) "Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film."
5) "The future is like a baboons @$$, colorful and full of sh*t."
This one is one of my favorites. It always makes me smile. LOL
6) "Ignorance is curable. Stupidity is not."
I hope you enjoyed these as much as I do. :)
