Does anyone have any good quotes? Love quotes.. life quotes etc.. Just good/meaningful ones.?

Question

I have an example of a quote i love, its a little long, but length isnt a big problem for me: its heartbreaking;

when people you know, become people you knew

when you can walk right past someone,

like they were never a big part of your life

&& remember how you used to be able to talk for hours...

and now you can barely even look at them.

-- LOVE that quote! If you have any quotes, good ones that you like, let me know. :]

These are all quotes that I have written to help inspire people, i send them out to my friends as quotes of the day.  Most are about life not live though.

Quote of the Day

"Don't be afraid to be afraid, fear drives the soul to do what is not normally possible, to do the impossible, to reach amazing feats. Never was there a mountain so high that it was insurmountable, never was there a distance too great that it couldn't be traveled, and never was there a reason why you couldn't be the greatest thing on this earth. Don't let life prevent you from being amazing, you are special and need to shine like a star, otherwise, you are but a sand crab hidden from the world, only to be stepped on by some careless little kid. Be great. Be amazing. Be wonderful. Be unbelievable."-Logan Robinson

1/18/07

"In life time seems to fly faster than we can keep track.  One moment your getting up the next your going to sleep.  It is easy to get lost in the day and forget what you have learned.  Being patient, slowing down is the key to success.  Remember where you have been and always watch where you step." -Logan Robinson

1/19/08

"It is of current understanding that the smallest of organisms can create the biggest difference in life.  If something so small can change the world, there is no reason why you can not only change the world but create your own.  Make your ideas a reality by simply getting started, without a beginning there is never an end."-Logan Robinson

1/23/08

"There is so much pressure to be right that many forget that the essence of learning is being wrong.  Medicine, man's greatest achievement came from experimenting, which is a fancy way of saying guess and check.  Being wrong is never bad as long as you remember why you were wrong.  So instead of focusing on what is right, remember to focus on what is wrong, the true essences of learning."-Logan Robinson

1/24/08

“Many people live their entire lives afraid to fail, and so, will never try.  It is with courage that few people accomplish great things.  Leave the shell, walk around, you might just find something truly magnificent.”-Logan Robinson

1/27/08

“There are those who will never run because they are afraid to fall, there are those who will never try because they are afraid to fail, there are those who will never play because they are afraid to lose, and then there are those who will jump off the edge, and most will die, but there will be a few who will change the world.  The only true fact is that those who never try will never accomplish anything great”-Logan Robinson

2/4/08

"It is human nature to be selfish, but at the same time it is human nature to care, the balance between what is easy to do and what is the right thing to do is the essence of wisdom.  Think twice before you act, a wise man knows what will happen before he acts, a fool doesn't care."-Logan Robinson

2/5/08

Education is the foundation of success, of course, to have it means you have pounded out the ground and labored over laying it down.  Nothing worthwhile comes without work, stay focused and grind it out and your tower of success will be looking over all."-Logan Robinson

2/6/07

"There are lessons to be learned each day, some obvious while others may be right under your feet.  Small creatures like ants know that to accomplish anything worthwhile they have to work together as one.  Never find yourself being a weak link, its one thing to lead, it is another thing to destroy.  Make sure you are truly leading before you cause destruction.  Following for a good cause is not as bad as leading people to failure"-Logan Robinson

2/7/08

"The rains follow both the good and the bad.  Don't despise the horrible situations that fall upon you but soak them in.  Acknowledgment of failures and unfortunate times only creates a stronger mind and it is with the mind that all challenges are overcome."-Logan Robinson

2/8/07

"Even the greenest leaves will fall and die.  Every person, no matter how grand their life will end the same as his brother.  Don't live life trying to be the best, but fulfill your life by bringing out the best in those around you.  One green leaf on a dead tree will not benefit the earth.  Share in your wealth, success, and happiness, and your tree will provide fruit and shade for the world.  A good life impacts others and will leave with a crowd, a selfish life will end alone and fall quietly to the ground."-Logan Robinson  

2/9/08

"Stop and listen to the sound of the world.  Even nothingness makes a noise.  Some of the greatest joys in life give off the smallest sounds.  Make sure to stop each day and listen for, if you don't, you might just miss life's greatest message."-Logan Robinson

2/11/08

"People enter and leave the world with tears.  First to celebrate a new life and at the end to celebrate an entire life.  Its at these transition points where people understand the value of life.  Life is not something that should be taken advantage of.  If its in your ability to do something great with your life it is your responsibility to do so. Don't wait till the tears come at the end to wonder about what you could have done, but instead act now and truly take advantage of the gift that is so easily forgotten.  Life is God's most precious gift, do not waste it by letting it slip past your eyes."-Logan Robinson

2/12/08

"The ant in the rain forest will build up its hill only to have it washed away.  He will then begin to rebuild it and the process will repeat.  Remember that life brings highs and lows. The important thing is to realize that as you fall you can always get back up.  A person with a strong passion for success will never stay washed away."-Logan Robinson  

2/13/08

"Life is a belief in something great, without passion, you are but a dusty clock slowly ticking away."-Logan Robinson

“Failure is only a stepping stone too success.  Do not worry about your short comings but embrace them, accepting your limits will give you the power to overcome them.  It is when you ignore them that you fall into the raging river of disaster.  Understand yourself and plan accordingly, and you will leap across the stones with ease.”-Logan Robinson

3/01/08

"The mind is the world's greatest treasure. It brings dreams to reality, and can make reality a dream. If there was ever a reason to educate yourself, let it be to strengthen your mind. Happiness is created inside, take care of the treasure that takes care of you and anything is possible."-Logan Robinson

4/17/08

“Its difficult at times to feel like you can succeed when you are carrying the expectations of others, the important thing to remember, is that its not those expectations that are weighing you down, but your own dreams.  Those expectations that you feel are there because others have jumped on board your dreams.  Don’t dread these hopes, embrace them, let them be your hand when you fall.  These people are not there to bring you down, but help you succeed.  Carry them like you know how, and ask them for help when you need it.  Your dreams are their dreams, you all are in it together.  Live. Learn. Never Regret.  Keep going to what you strive for no matter the obstacles, your army of support by far outweighs anything that would try to sink your ship of dreams.” -Logan Robinson

4/17/08

“You are not living if you are not getting hurt by life.  If you find that you have no hardships or pain then it is time for you to take action.  Every person will die, but not every person will truly live.” -Logan Robinson

4/17/08

“In the chemical world, no reaction takes place unless it adds to the entropy of the universe.  Before you ever begin to act upon anything, make sure what you are doing is truly helping this Earth.  God has given everyone a gift, use the gift for the good of this world and you will be rewarded with a perfect one.”-Logan Robinson

4/17/08

“As you obtain wisdom, don’t forget the one’s who have given you that knowledge.  Your stone that is your education as been carved by many craftsmen, some whose work is one of a kind and unique to you.  It is these artist that you should keep closest to your heart.  These people have sought you out and wanted to make your life personally better.  Accept the honor they bestow upon you and remember to return the favor by letting them know how much they mean to you.  Everything you accomplish is a collaborative effort, alone you would be nothing.”-Logan Robinson

4/20/08

“There is always the saying that you should try everything once, but these are the words of fools.  Should you kill someone once, should you steal a car once, or take drugs once?  The answer is no.  When there is pressure to do something you know is wrong, don’t do it.  There is something one should do everyday, and that is use their brains.  When presented with a challenge, use your brain, make a decision and stand by your decision based on your knowledge of right and wrong, not on some cliché used by fools.  Those who use their brains will write the words of those who will have wasted their lives.”-Log
