Blue Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 It's a bit long, but it's easily one of my all time favorite English quotes: "A human being is a part of a whole, called by us, 'Universe.' A part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." ~ Albert EinsteinI enjoy that quote because I believe the words to be both deeply meaningful and true.

peppers Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Anything by Mark Twain. His words had such sarcasm and bite and still resonate today in so many ways. Makes me wonder what's actually changed.I love all his quotes but one of my favorites recently has been this:Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge.Mark Twain is good.

sandmoran Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 I really love this thread! A few of these quotes I have heard before, but most of them were new to me. One of my favorite people to quote is the great Mark Twain:“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banister Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 My favorite is a quote by Lemony Snicket. “Of course, it is boring to read about boring thing, but it is better to read something that makes you yawn with boredom than something that will make you weep uncontrollably, pound your fists against the floor, and leave tearstains all over your pillowcase, sheets, and boomerang collection.” Another great quote is “A man is as old as he feels to be” Others are:"Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation leans on the doorbell.""Good supervision is the art of getting average people to do superior work.""Wit is educated insolence."

pandandesign Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I love this quote from Kurt Cobain that said, "I'd rather be hated for who I am than be loved for who I am not". I like this quote. I think it is true that it does apply to most people. However, I would do things that I think it is right even though people hate what I have done.

Omnispeak Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 One of my favourite quotes has been "Attitude, not Aptitude, determines Altitude" by Zig Ziglar. I have lived most of my life abiding by this quote and it has done a lot of good. There are some pretty useful quotes above that I can use and some to ponder over.

SpiralArchitect Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 I love this quote from Kurt Cobain that said, "I'd rather be hated for who I am than be loved for who I am not".I have a feeling that the quote predates Cobain and is wrongly attributed to him, like a bunch of other things. Not sure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
