Every saint has a past,
Every sinner has a future.
People are strange:
They spend money they don't have,
To buy things they don't need,
To impress people they don't like.

I really like that one because that's the way I think. No use regretting anything you did in the past because at that time, I wanted to do it.
Thanks for sharing that quote with us.

There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer;
no disease that enough love will not heal;
no door that enough love will not open;
no gulf that enough love will not bridge;
no wall that enough love will not throw down;
no sin that enough love will not redeem...
It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble;
how hopeless the outlook; how muddled the tangle; how great the mistake.
A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.
If only you could love enough you would be
the happiest and most powerful being in the world...

I have been impressed with a number of quotes but I always have a hard time remembering them exactly and without exact retelling they are not quotes. So it's the simplest ones that I'd have to call my favorites.
I've always loved the Will Rodgers quote: "I never met a man I didn't like". (That's an easy one to remember.)
I love some from Mark Twain and from Bobby Kennedy but I can't quote exactly.

There are so many impressive quotes mentioned here. Will Rodgers is an American treasure.
That quote of his will always be remembered.

By swallowing evil words unsaid, no one ever harmed his stomach
Better to remain silent and be thought as a fool than speak out and remove all doubt.

I really liked the quote, "Never regret anything because at one point it was something you really wanted." I made that my favorite quote for a long time because it sounded really good. But when you start to regret something and you can't tell yourself oh it's not a big deal because I really wanted it, then the quote becomes kind of meaningless. I guess I have yet to find one that really hits me good.

Hello Blee92. I can understand why Jennifer Lopez would say something like that. She has heard her share of negativity.
Thanks.

"Perfect love is rare indeed -
for to be a lover will require
that you continually have
the subtlety of the very wise,
the flexibility of the child,
the sensitivity of the artist,
the understanding of the philosopher,
the acceptance of the saint,
the tolerance of the scholar and
the fortitude of the certain."

I had to get my dictionary out for that one. It sounds so beautiful. Anyway for those of you who don't know what bliss means, it is great happiness or joy.
Thanks for that great quote.

Don't judge a book by it's cover. Never give up. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Only the good die young. Onwards and upwards. Too many cooks spoil the broth.
