Looking for a nice meaningful quote for a tattoo?

Question

Im looking for a quote to get on my foot basically saying that what Ive been through in my life has made me a stronger and better person thanks in advance

Answer 1

If you just put "Six Million", then it would be like a thing that you'd have to explain, which is always fun.

Picture this:

"Lee-Anne, what's that that say?"

"Six Million"

"I know what it says, but what's it supposed to mean?"

"It's a slightly obscure reference to the mid to late 70s television programme, entitled 'The Six Million Dollar Man. You see, I've recently been through a metamorphosis of sorts, and feel like a better, stronger woman."

"Oh, and that's like an allusion to the opening sequence to 'Six Million Dollar Man' where they bang on about him being 'better, stronger. faster' than ever before?"

"Yup."

"So you want yourself, and everyone else, to think of the 'Six Million Dollar Man' when they see that tattoo?"

"That's the general idea..."

"But you're a woman."

"What?"

"You are not a man. You are a woman"

"Yeah, I thought I might run into that problem, and considered a 'Bionic Woman' thing, but she lacked a catchy phrase from her opening sequence."

So, maybe my idea isn't the best idea. Maybe.

Pants.

Answer 3

"life can change in and instant, that instant can last forever".

"Ogni mali nun veni pri nòciri" is a good one, basic translation is not every pain comes to harm you. We take it to mean, that you have to go through "****" to know who you are.

Answer 4

try the name of someone close to you. someone who really means a lot to you.

Answer 5

Footprints Is When I Carried You

  



One night I dreamed I was walking

along the beach with the Lord.

Many scenes from my

life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed

footprints in the sand.

Sometimes there were

two sets of footprints.

Other times there were

one set of footprints.

This bothered me because

I noticed that during the

low periods of my life

When I was suffering

from anguish, sorrow, or defeat,

I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord,

'You promised me, Lord,

That if I followed you,

you would walk with me always.

But I noticed that during the

most trying periods of my life

There have only been one

set of prints in the sand.

Why, When I have needed you most,

you have not been there for me? '

The Lord replied,

'The times when you have seen

only one set of footprints is when I carried you.'

~ WILFRED JOHN



Obviously you can't have all of this on your foot! You could have "When there is only one set of footprints, that is when you carried me"

I used to want Que Sera Sera as a tattoo ("what will be, will be") but have since found something much more meaningful to me. It has taken me about 5 years but I have found a text tattoo that will be relevant to me for the rest of my life. You'll know when you find the right one. Do an image search on google or flickr for text tattoos and see what you come up with.

Answer 10

Fortune favors the brave.

Everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody else.

Where there is love there is life.

An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

Brevity is the soul of wit.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

You should try a Chinese Proverb, too!

Good luck ^^

Answer 19

Any meaningful walking-related quotes that spring to my mind are probably too long to squeeze on a foot! Perhaps you could just use a line or two...  Here are some good ones to have in the memory-bank anyway:

"We shall not cease from exploration

And the end of all our exploring

Will be to arrive where we started

And know the place for the first time."

- T. S. Eliot, from 'The Four Quartets.

"I have spread my dreams under your feet;

Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams."

- W. B. Yeats, from 'He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven.

"Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time."

-Stephen Wright.

"No problem is so formidable that you can't walk away from it"

- Charles M. Schulz.

"One who walks in another's tracks leaves no footprints."

- Proverb.

Or how about something tailor-made just for you ;)  --

"The scars upon these healthy soles

Tell only that I've reached my goals."
