Quote for my wall?

Question

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Life is a party so we might as well dance

Be not afraid of greatness

which do you like. its a shortened list, i eliminated ones i was having second thoughts on

Answer 1

The first one is lovely! I don't consider it sad at all, on the contrary, it seems optimistic to me - although I suppose it depends on your point of view... I'd go for that one anyway :)

Answer 2

definatly the 2nd 1. yupp...haha it says im peachler. this is funny. heyy wer in the computr lab. isnt this awsum. i kno it is. morgan says hi.

Answer 3

All your quotes are so sad. Putting up with things, happy despite it all. I'd look for something more inspiring, instead of "deal with it."

Answer 4

The first one. It's much more eloquently put then the rest of them.

Answer 5

Well, I like the first one best but do you have 3 walls? Because the first 3 kind of flow together nicely. I think they create sort of a realistically optimistic vibe. That sounds sort of cheesy but I don't mean it that way. Of course I don't think any of your quotes sound especially sad, so what do I know?

There's nothing wrong with the thoughts of the last 2 either but the phrasing isn't particularly resonant and  the last one is very good English but still sounds forced, you know? It's just too obviously a "quote", in my opinion.  As far as that goes I might actually rephrase the 3rd one a little too. Like, maybe, "rainbows require rain". That's just me though.
