Here's my favorite lines from a song (Your Boyfriend Sucks, Ataris.), which is taken from a movie (A Bronx Tale)

[quote]"All right, listen to me. You pull up right where she is, right ?
You go get out of the car and you lock both doors. Then get out of the car,
and you walk over to her, and bring her over to the car.
Take out the key, put in the lock, open the door for her, and you let her
get in. And you close the door for her. You walk around the back of the car,
and you look through the rear window. If she doesn't reach over and lift up
that button so you could get in, dump her. Just like that ? Listen to me kid,
if she doesn't reach over and life up that button, so you could get in, that
means she's a selfish broad, and all you've seen is the tip of the iceberg.
You dump her, and you dump her fast."

"I wanted a perfect ending. Now ive learned the hard way, that some poems dont rhyme, and some stories dont have a clear begining, middle, or end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, with out knowing whats going to happen next"

Well i dont exsacly live by that but i learned a lesson from it.

[visual_overload]

As we grow into our adulthood we learn to want the things we don’t have, but have you ever stopped and say thank you to that higher power for giving you the things you have already. Remember not to look as the glass half empty or full, but rather be thankful for having something in that glass.

"impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world theyve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. impossible is not a fact. its an opinion. impossible is not a declaration. its a dare. impossible is potential. impossible is temporary. impossible is nothing."

I like quotes.. I collect them.. (sig )

Anyways.. quotes I live by.. hm..

One thing about going the extra mile… there’s never a lot of traffic-Anonymous

Life’s most beautiful things aren’t seen with your eyes; they are felt with our hearts-Anonymous

It is not intelligence alone that brings success, but also the drive to succeed, the commitment to work hard, and the courage to believe in yourself. Know that your dreams must come from your heart's deepest desires. Only then will the barriers come down before you. To know your heart, you must know yourself. You are who you decide to be, not who other people decide for you to be. Be noble. Stand on the higher ground. Create your life and then go out and live it- Anonymous

Oh and definitely the following..
There are those who enter and leave this world without leaving a fingerprint and then there are those who can make the sun fall when they leave. Those are the ones who never did something because they could, but because they knew they had to. They are the ones who refuse to follow the path of mediocrity and excel beyond their own expectations. To them, there are no limits because they refuse to believe that there is such a thing. They are the ones who never brag because they expect better from themselves. They continually challenge the world around them because they refuse to compromise their ethics. These are the ones who never envy someone else, but rather congratulate them. Most importantly, they are the ones who inspired others to begin focusing on the path that lies ahead rather than the sickening thought of failure- Morgan Tang

Did any of you read all of those?

[quote]Some people`s faith allows them to eat anything , but the person who is weak in the faith eats only vegetables . The person who will eat anything is not to despise the one who doesnt`t; while the one who eats only vegetables is not to pass judgement on the one who will eat anything ; for God has accepted that person . "

Romans 13-14 [/quote]

[quote]"Creativity is ........ seeing something that doesn`t exist already . You need to find out how you can bring into being and that way be a playmate with God ." - Michelle Shea [/quote]

[quote]"Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."[/quote]

[quote]"When you're passionate about something, you want it to be all it can be. But in the endgame of life, I fundamentally believe the key to happiness is letting go of that idea of perfection."

[*WHIMSICAL 0NE*]

Wow, there's lots of good quotes on here.
I always took a strange comfort in the quote "What begins in fear usually ends in failure"

[*This Confession*]

I saw that in Borders on a bookmark but I love it

"Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure"

I live by this quote. It's my favorite one.

There's actually more to it....

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,

but that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.

We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.
And, as we let our own light shine,
we consciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

"Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. "
Epicurus

Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones that 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

"For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God, We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us."
