In the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty
 

If you get down and quarrel everyday
You're saying prayers to the devil, I say
Why not help one another on the way
Make it much easier

" Hold fast to dreams, for without them we are like birds with broken wings."

my favourite is " The Biggest Risk In Life is Not Taking One " :)

Many a good man has failed because he had his wishbone where his backbone should have been.

If at first you don't succeed, try reading the instructions

In the arena of human life the honours and rewards fall to those who show their good qualities.
Aristotle

"The train of failure usually runs on the track of laziness"

"The right angle to approach a difficult problem is the try-angle"

" Authority makes some people grow - and others just swell"

"You know why they put oxygen masks on planes?"
"So they can breathe."
"Oxygen gets you high. In a catastrophic emergency, you're taking giant, panic breaths. Suddenly, you become euphoric. Docile. You accept your fate. It's all right here. Emergeny water landing, six hundred miles an hour. Blank faces, calm as Hindu cows."

Fight Club


:winkwink:

These are all classic.

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.

Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some acheive greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.

If you want to win anything-a race, your self, your life-you have to go a little berserk.

OF COURSE THE KING OF QUOTES

TO BE, OR NOT TO BE

I just loved studying Shakespeare when I was in school. the man was far ahead of his time.

"god bless this mess"

Aristotle was cool as well.

"He who binds to himself a joy, does the winged life destroy.
But he who kisses the joy as it flies, lives in Eternity's sunrise." -- William Blake.

"Only two certainties in life: Death and taxes." -- guess that's anti-inspirational, however.

"He who binds to himself a joy, does the winged life destroy.
But he who kisses the joy as it flies, lives in Eternity's sunrise." -- William Blake.

"Ride the wave where it takes you." -- Eddie Vedder

"Only two certainties in life: Death and taxes." -- guess that's anti-inspirational, however.

"Falling doesn't make you a failure. Staying down does."

"Plotting revenge is fun."

Heinlein

Great designs are not
accomplished without
enthusiasm of some sort.
Enthusiasm is the inspiration
of the great. To dream
anything you want to
dream, that is the beauty
of the human mind.
To do anything that you
want to do, that is the
strength of the human will.
To trust yourself to test
your limits, that is the
courage to succeed.

Other great Heinlein quotes

Sex without love is merely healthy exercise.

May you live as long as you wish and love as long as you live.

Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense. (Hurting yourself is not sinful - just stupid).

The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive.

I don't see how an article of clothing can be indecent. A person, yes.

You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.

"Love" is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own... Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy.



I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.

"The Devil is in the Details"

"Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds."

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."

"I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil."

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

"Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them."

"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like anhour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT'S relativity."

-Albert Einstein

oh that can be VERY inspirational. :)

"On a long enough time line the survival rate for everyone drops to zero."
Tyler Durden, Fight Club

"I never measured a mans success by how high he climbed; but by how high he bounced when he hit the bottom." -General George Patton

"A ship is safe in the harbor, but that's not what they're meant for." -inspirational poster

Not really inspirational but still my favorite (especially at work)...
APATHY -- if we ignore the customer long enough, eventually they'll go away.

" BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME"

Didn't read through them, so I don't know if was already posted. This is my favorite.

Chance favors the prepared mind.

"To know what you prefer instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive." ~ Robert Louis Stevenson

"The future depends on what we do in the present." Gandhi

Everytime I see those starving children on tv I have to cry. I mean, I wish I could be skinny like that, but not with all those flies, and death and stuff.

- Mariah Carey

"Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion."

"We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection."

"Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions."

"Sleep is the best meditation."

"For things to change you have to change, for things to be better you have to be better"

" If you can't fix it. Duck it! "

"It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything."

Fight Club

This is by far the best movie quote ever in my opinion... It deserves bold:

God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.

Nietzsche always works for me...
 

In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.

Women are considered deep - why? Because one can never discover any bottom to them. Women are not even shallow.

Out of life's school of war: What does not destroy me, makes me stronger.

Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!

In heaven all the interesting people are missing.

Man is more ape than many of the apes.

A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.

Whis is it, is man one of God's blunders or is God one of man's?

The world itself is the will to power - and nothing else! And you yourself are the will to power - and nothing else!

For a significant man
woman, the one thought he values greatly, to the laughter and scorn of insignificant men, is a key to hidden treasure chambers; for those others, it is nothing but a piece of old iron.

The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.

We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.

"when you have two competing theories which make exactly the same predictions, the one that is simpler is the better."

-- Occam's Razor

Every day above ground is a good day.

That's hilarious...I had that in my thread regarding best and worst pick up lines. Where did you first hear this quote/pick up line? A friend of mine just had that actually used on her. LOL

Adrian... one of my favourites...

Power never takes a back step - only in the face of more power.
Malcolm X - 1965

Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.
Malcolm X-1965

"Twenty years form now you will be more disappointed by the things that
you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover."
- Mark Twain

I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist. The people liberate themselves. - Ernesto Che Guevara

You cannot really be sure of having something to live for unless you are willing to die for it. - Ernesto Che Guevara

There is enough for man's need, but not for man's greed. - Gandhi


Every man dies. Not every man truly lives. (Braveheart)
