Here's my own fave:

To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson


...And here's one that's all too true.

"Life is so Ironic. I go out of my way to try and not treat women like ojects, but always end up treating objects like women."
~ ?

 

"It's never wise to ignore someone, for if they speak and you ignore them, how do you know they are not crying out in pain?" - One of my own, actually.

"People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought, which they avoid." - Unknown (by me)

"No hablo español" = "I'm a stupid american too lazy to speak spanish, I'd rather sound funny" - Luvweaver, on MSN.

"Life can only be understood backwards, but must be lived forwards." - Soren Kierkegaard

"The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed." - Steve [Bantu] Biko (1946 - 1977)

"A man is like steel. Once he loses his temper, he is worthless." - Japanese proverb

"I see. Happiness is about being alive. If you're alive, that means you're always happy!" - Lime, Saber Marionette J

"Otaru is the one who taught me that blue skies meant happiness. He also taught me that the sound of the streams, the fog on the plains, the flowers without names that bloom on the fields, the sound the wind makes, the snow that falls on the streets, and that the smiles on everybody's faces meant happiness. Otaru is the one who breathed life into we three marionettes, and taught us the joys of living. It was you, Otaru." - Also Lime, Saber Marionette J

I've got pages and pages of them, but I'll stop here for now. I thank my fellow spammers on Shadow of the Dragon for providing them. (Oh come on, it's *allowed* there. )

EDIT: One more, due to the nature of it.

"I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances." - Martha Washington

If only I'd read that one a month ago...

 

“It is better to burn out, than to fade away.” ~Kurt Cobain

^-- This was Neil Young. Kurt Cobain quoted his song in his suicide letter, that's all. There's two versions of the song. "Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black)" and "My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)".


“Don’t expect me to cry for all the reasons you had to die.” ~Kurt Cobain

^-- That song was originally by a band called The Vaselines, whom Nirvana covered several songs from (Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam, Molly's Lips and Son Of A Gun). Though the cover of JWMFAS was changed to "Jesus Doesn't Want Me For A Sunbeam". Kurt often said The Vaselines were a huge influence on him.

One of my favorites comes from JD Salinger.. this isn't exact but it went something along the line of:

"I'm kind of paranoid in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy."

Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.

You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
Dale Carnegie

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.
George Washington (1732 - 1799)

It's choice - not chance - that determines your destiny.
Jean Nidetch

Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.
William Jennings Bryan (1860 - 1925)

Time is a cruel thief to rob us of our former selves. We lose as much to life as we do to death.
