Smart sentences or quotes... you know any?

I love quotes. Some of my favorites I have no idea who said them. Then there are a few that I do know who said them. 'When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.' 'Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.' 'Faith is the soul riding at anchor.' -Shaw

I love to collect quotes and have a notebook full of them. This is a more recent favorite: "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Teddy Roosevelt I found this one particularly meaningful after the press and supporters of President Bush in the United States started acting like we were not supposed to critisize the President. Another of my favorites is: "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Martin Luther King And: "Christians have burnt each other, quite persuaded. That all the Apostles would have done as they did." Lord Byron Hope you enjoy.

I like that quote from Buddha. So many people will just write something off just because of who says it. This seems especially true in the world of politics. Winston Churchill certainly had a myriad of very good ones. Tennyson and Goethe are other favorites of mine in the quotes department. For song lyrics, Garth Brooks is the clear winner in terms of the depth of wisdom (for me anyway). One very short one I love is from Goethe: "To be pleased with one's limits is a wretched state." I also love this one from Tennyson: "The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions." One of my favorites from Mark Twain goes: "Don't part with your illusions. When they're gone you may still exist but you have ceased to live." As you can see I tend to be drawn to quotes with a motivational, "follow your dreams" kind of theme.

Hi! I know a few quotes but i dont remember all of them. Lord Buddha said " Have a heart as wide as the ocean." "Be Good and Do Good." You yourself,as much as anybody in the entire universe,deserve your love and affection : Budda. The Gita says "He attains to peace unto whom all desires enter as water enters the ocean which filled from all sides remains unmoved not he who is full of desires." I know many more as my husband is a spiritual person. Regards.

panta rei... everything flows (heraclitus)

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can't change,the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.

"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt" Mark Twain

Mine would be the one I watched from Six Feet Under. It's "Let's Make Life Less Challenging". I just think it could apply in so many situations and especially to those people who are rude to others *laughs*.

LOL, I hit the wrong button on my previous post, so here is another classic quote from Winston Churchill: Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak. Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Someone told me this some time back - not sure who coined it: "Smart people learn from their mistakes, Wise people learn from others' mistakes, Fools NEVER make mistakes."

well dont know much but i got my quote which is " you must earn a living first before having to get a living".
