What is your favorite quote, and why?

Question

What are those one or two quotes that keep you going? Why are they important and what do they mean?

Answer 1

I have a lot of favourites, here are my top ones:

"When in doubt, leave it out."-----This quote helps me to think deeply when making a big decision. It helps me look at all the possibilities to a situation or circumstance.

"A sacrifice is not a sacrifice, unless its a sacrifice"-----This reminds me that everyone is important. That everyone needs to have a self-sacrificing spirit in order to help each other out in times of distress.

Answer 2

i luv quotes...they are many favs but one of them is "Destiny is invented by man because he cannot accept the fact that everything that happens is accidental."

Answer 3

This is one of my favorites:

"Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon."

-Elizabeth Cady Stanton

because it's soo true

Answer 4

My favorite would probably be "Be yourself and don't change for anyone." ~Unknown

Many people say it in diff. words tho.

Answer 5

"In the end, all of our windows are mirrors and we see only ourselves."

I love this one because it has so many meanings. It tells us that we'll never completely understand anyone else's perspective. That the things we see in others are reflections of ourselves. That we're really all alone in this world (which isn't as depressing as it sounds, because we're all alone together). And the imagery is fantastic.

Answer 6

My favorite quote is if life gives you lemons make lemonade. And then find someone whos life gives them vodka and throw a party

Answer 7

"every1 wants to b happy no1 wants 2 b in pain. but u cant havea a rainbow without the rain"

i really lyk this quotes cuz its pretty deep and so true.

Answer 8

"Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence."

It's the first line to the poem "Desiderata."  The rest of the poem has other great lines, but the first one reminds me that in crazy and chaotic times, sometimes you just have to stop, shut the world out, and focus on what's really important in your life.  

I've included a link to the entire poem if you're interested :-)

Answer 9

I have a lot.

Right now it's "Do something everyday that scares you." ~Eleanor Roosevelt

Pretty self explanatory, but I like it because I think everyone needs to face their fears.
