Whats your favorite quote?


I've always enjoyed reading quotes. What are some of your favorite quotes? Do you find them inspirational, interesting, or maybe you think it resembles your personality or what you believe in? Maybe you made some of your own quotes?

Some of my favorite quotes :)

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but rising every time we fall. - Confucius

If you're not willing to work hard, let someone else do it. I'd rather be with someone who does a horrible job, but gives 110% than with someone who does a good job and gives 60%.

Individual Response by Timothy Ingle 3/27/14:

"I don't sleep because I've never seen Benjamin Franklin with his eyes closed" - Words of success

This means to me that there's no time to waste in life if you want to be the top dog.

"You are never as good as you think you are, you are never as bad as you think you are, and you're never far from both of these"

I feel as though people need something or someone to tell them they're great(even if they may not be) because it keeps them going and many times we are our own harshest critics, seeing things that aren't as obvious to others. This quote keeps someone balanced; away from ****iness and safe in humility.

Rap music's been around for too long now to be inspirational. The words are, but the music isn't.

LOVE this post!!!! Especially as I am a quote fanatic! :)

 

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." (Gandhi) is my absolute fave, I think, though I'm also quite partial to "May you live all the days of your life" (Jonathan Swift) and "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." (Margaret Mead).

And I love everything Ron Swanson says on Parks&Rec :) "Dear frozen yogurt, you are the celery of desserts. Be ice cream or be nothing."    

Chris Traeger: Have you ever had a turkeyburger? 

Ron Swanson: Is that a fried turkey leg wrapped inside a burger? Because if so, then yes. Delicious.

"Sometimes you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book."
Love this quote from John Green. This may sound crazy, but sometimes I get emotionally attatched to a great novel and its characters, so I really believe that this quote is true. I'm not sure if its my all-time favorite quote, but it is definitely a memorable one.

Quotes are my absolute favorite thing. Every night before I go to bed I read quotes on Pinterest and it brings peace to my mind.
My favorite quote is "If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today."

I enjoy quotes and do find them helpful as well as inspirational. One of my favorite quotes that I am sure many people have not heard is:

"By being a racing driver you are under risk all the time. By being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing, we are competing to win."

This quote really demonstrates the passion that former Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna had for driving and is unlike any one persons passion i have ever seen for anything. He was truly the best. RIP Senna
