Cool quotes and sayings

I've been compiling this list of quotes as I run across them, some are pretty cool. Motivational. Please add your favorites to the list.

--

It?s hard to beat a person who never gives up.

It is not enough to succeed, others must fail.

Don't follow the path, make your own and others will follow.

To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift. - Steve Prefontaine

Whenever you're not working, someone else is.

It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste. - Henry Ford

Excellence is not an act, but a habit. - Aristotle

Things may come to those who wait, but only things left by those who hustle. - Abraham Lincoln

That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well. - Abraham Lincoln

Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits. - Thomas Edison

Sometimes the good you do, doesn't do you any good.

How much can you know about yourself, if you've never been in a fight? I don't wanna die without any scars.

Diligence is the greatest of teachers.

I've seen credit given to tons of people for this, so I don't know who the original quote belongs to, but it's something like this:

"People always used to say that I was lucky... well the harder I worked the luckier I got."

Einstein once said something like:

"I'm convinced WW III will be fought with the most powerful weapons man has ever created. However, WW IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

Now that's deep.

There's a ton of variations to that too.

The best way to predict the future, is to create it

A great pleasure in life is doing what others say you cant.

Some people dream of success while others wake up and work hard at it.

No list of famous quotes is ever complete without everyone's favorite quote from Uncle Teddy (and I'm not talking about Nugent you sot)...

"It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

-Theodore Roosevelt

"Fuck damnation, man! Fuck redemption! We are God's unwanted children? So be it!"

"Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. 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. "

"How much can you know about yourself, if you've never been in a fight? I don't wanna die without any scars."

Tyler Durden

This post made me wonder:

Would any of the quotes posted in this thread have the same "meaning" to those who posted it if the person saying the quote was something abhorrent?

Such as the Tyler Durden quote above: What if, in the movie, it was a slobby, fat-ass stinky actor sitting in his underwear on a couch with a bag of chips and chip pieces laying scattered on his fat belly?

Does the person and context make the quote? Or are the words spoken / written what makes the quote? Or is it a case-by-case basis?

I posted a William Blake quote - a fucking nut-ball who thinks he saw angels and shit. I still like the quote, though. However, if the Fight Club quotes above were spoken by a different actor in a different way, I'd call bullshit, even though they're pretty good sayings. *shrug*

I suppose this would have more meaning if Fight Club wasn't a book, first.

Did not know it was a book. Even so, what if the main character in the book was a fat slob talking out of his ass? That probably wouldn't happen, as it would be out of character, but still -- does the person saying / writing the quote make the quote?

If some five-year-old threw down "Fuck damnation, man! Fuck redemption! We are God's unwanted children? So be it!", I don't know if those words would have the same meaning. ---- They'd sure have some sort of meaning, though, if a 5 yr old said it..... *shrug*

Such as the Tyler Durden quote above: What if, in the movie, it was a slobby, fat-ass stinky actor sitting in his underwear on a couch with a bag of chips and chip pieces laying scattered on his fat belly?

Does the person and context make the quote? Or are the words spoken / written what makes the quote? Or is it a case-by-case basis?

I posted a William Blake quote - a fucking nut-ball who thinks he saw angels and shit. I still like the quote, though. However, if the Fight Club quotes above were spoken by a different actor in a different way, I'd call bullshit, even though they're pretty good sayings. *shrug*
In order for a quote to really have meaning, you must place some sort of internal significance with the quote. I could show those quotes to a few of my friends and it wouldn't do anything for them. I could show them to my brother and he would start spouting off how their fascist and I'm an evil greedy person.

I liked the Fight Club quote before I realized it was from Fight Club.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

-Theodore Roosevelt
Wow, that is an amazing quote. Totally amazing.

I'm pretty much with you on that.

It's just, after re-reading this thread a few times, the thought came to me: "is it the quote" or "is it the person saying the quote" or "is it the person listening to the person saying the quote" type thing. Or does it really even matter?

Obviously, people posting in this thread are posting a quote that's worth their time to post. Just curious why, I guess.

I think its a combination of the speaker and the listener.

Maybe it's because it's Saturday and I don't want to mow the lawn but....

You ever wonder what other serendipitous "quotes" you've missed because of not "listening" ?

.... yea, yea, yea... It's one of those strange, metaphysical questions, but I just had to ask. All apologies

Anyway... nice thread, Sly. Thanks.
