Against Human stupidity, the gods contend in vain. I forgot who said that.

I'm a big fan of one liners from tv shows. Right now I seem to be quoting New Girl a lot. A lot of Nick and/about Nick.

"Do not look for a sanctuary in anyone except your self" ~Siddhartha Guatama

I new one that I really like is:

"When something goes wrong in your life, just yell, "Plot Twist!" and move on."

and a more serious one:

"The tiger and the lion may be more powerful, but the Wolf does not perform in the circus."

Hi Kenda!

My favorite quote at this moment would actually be a lyric. "The world is so pale next to you". Coxcomb Red by Songs: Ohia.

"What we do in life echoes in eternity." - Maximus Aurelius (Gladiator)

"Imagine a king who fights his own battles. Wouldn't that be a sight?" - Achilles (Troy)

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind." - Dr. Seuss

everything will be okay in the end; if its not okay, it's not the end.

"You're only as young as you feel, and we're the same age." - My nana. She's my biggest inspiration.

I have two favorite quotes at the moment. The first is just an overall great thought and way to live. The second is absolutely brilliant.

"All knowledge is worth having" by Jacqueline Carey

"And I never wanted anything from you, except everything you had and what was left after that too" by Florence + The Machine

Oh I love quotes! I think some of my favourites come from video games haha. In particular Final Fantasy IX "You don't need a reason to help people" - Zidane Tribal(FFIX) "The only dependable thing about the future is uncertainty" - Amarant Coral(FFIX) "I do what I want, you have problem?" - Quina Quen(FFIX)

Dorothy Parker is one of my all-time favs to quote. She had so so so many wonderful quips, and was gifted poet/writer in general. No wonder the Algonquin Round Table (which she founded) is still talked about today! :)

Here are a few shorts:

“Tell him I was too fucking busy -- or vice versa.”

"If all the girls who attended the Yale prom were laid end to end, I wouldn't be a bit surprised."

“If you have any young friends who aspire to become writers, the second greatest favor you can do them is to present them with copies of The Elements of Style. The first greatest, of course, is to shoot them now, while they’re happy.”

I know it's cheesy, but:

"So it goes."

• Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

It helps me not to dwell on the bad things too long, and appreciate the fleetingness of things that are good.

I just want to take a moment and thank all of you for sharing your favorite quotes! Keep them coming! If you like quotes we can be friends!

"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now!" -Khan the Conqueror

"Rise and rise again until lambs become lions" is my personal favorite <3

Only the curious have something to find.

"Deep Roots are not reached by the frost." -JRR Tolkein

"Not all who wander are lost." -JRR Tolkein

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." -Robert Frost, from 'The Road Less Taken'

"That's all you people know to do, kill what you don't understand" - John Conner Terminator.

"Forget the freak, you're just nature." - Corey Taylor I love that quote so much I'm going to get it tatted on me.

It is extremely difficult for me to choose one, so I'll give you a few of my favs...

"A man is defined by the likeness of his enemies."

• (I don't know who said it specifically, but I heard it on talk radio years ago on Rush Limbaugh) "Numbers do not lie. Politics and poetry, promises, these are lies. Numbers are as close as we get to the handwriting of God."
• Hermann Gottlieb (Pacific Rim) "Your right to swing your arms ends just where the other man's nose begins."
• Oliver Wendell Holmes "You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves."
• Abraham Lincoln "If you want something you've never had, you must be willing to do something you've never done."
• Thomas Jefferson "Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a mean to fish and feed him for the rest of his life."
• (old Chinese proverb) "Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it"
• Proverbs 22:6

Sorry, I typed more than I intended.
