Title: Hilarious or inspirational quotes needed.... Post by AlienSpaceBabe on Jan 8th, 2004, 10:37am Okay folks.... I'm working on a Valentine's Day gift for my parents (dad's going through cancer, AGAIN).... I'm taking one of those bound journals from Barnes and Noble and putting famous or inspirational or hilarious (etc) quotes on some of the pages.... and I need lots more quotes!! I want to make this something my father (and mother) can look at during the rough days ahead, should there be any..... Anyone have any favorites they want to share? Thanks, Lizzie "If someone were to pay you ten cents for every kind word you ever spoke and collect five cents for every unkind word, would you be rich or poor?" |

Title: Re: Hilarious or inspirational quotes needed.... Post by KingOfPain on Jan 8th, 2004, 5:14pm I like these: " Why don't you try practicing random acts of intelligence and senseless acts of self-control? " " Life is like a sh*t sandwich, everyday's another bite. The more bread you have, the less sh*t you have to eat " Don't know if the second one is appropriate, but is one I like. |

Title: Re: Hilarious or inspirational quotes needed.... Post by chronic_chic on Jan 8th, 2004, 5:26pm Hi Lizzie, I've been keeping a book of quotes since high school or early college. Some are funny, some are inspirational, some just tell it like it is. I would be happy to email a few to you or post them here if you want. I keep them in my quote book which has since turned into my personal headache journal! :) I read the quotes whenever I need something uplifting. :) Just let me know!! ~Lizzie2 ;) |

Title: Re: Hilarious or inspirational quotes needed.... Post by chronic_chic on Jan 12th, 2004, 7:02pm Sorrow In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all, and it often comes with bitter agony. Perfect relief is not possible, except with time. You cannot now believe that you will ever feel better. But this is not true. You are sure to be happy again. Knowing this, Truly believing it, Will make you less miserable now. I have had enough experience to make this statement. ~Abraham Lincoln Just one that comforts me...also from my quote book. :) |

Title: Re: Hilarious or inspirational quotes needed.... Post by Tiannia on Jan 13th, 2004, 1:02pm Ok I finally brought it in... These are some of the quotes that help when I am depressed and feel lost and cant seem to find my path. I hope they help your father. I seem to use them a lot right now. Tia :'( From the "Aquarian Conspiracy" - Whenever people share experiences, they connect sooner or later with each other and eventually with larger circles. Each day their numbers grow... - Most of all, we deny we know in our bones - Avoidance settles for chronic dull pain rather then brief acute confrontation. - There is only one history of importance and it is the history of what you once believed in and the history of what you came to believe in. - You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. Give yourself to it. It is only your aversion that hurts. Nothing else. Arnold- -Strong is the soul, and wise, and beautiful: The seed of godlike power are in us still: Gods are we, bards, saints, heroes, if we will Emerson- - Heroism feels and never reasons and therefore is always right. - It is better to light one candle then to curse the darkness - It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion. It is easy in solitude to live after our own: but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude. - Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. - A friend is a person with whom I can be sincere. Before him, I may think out loud. - The highest impact we can make with our fellow is "let there be truth between us evermore" - Do not say things - What you are stands over you and thunders so I cannot hear that you say to the contrary. Jung- - The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul. Which opens into the primeval cosmic night that was soul long before there was a conscious ego and will be soul for beyond what a conscious ego could reach. - Emotion is the chief source of all becoming conscious. There can be no transforming of darkness into light and of apathy into movement without emotion. - The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction both are transformed. Thoreau- - I hear many condemn these men because they are few. When were the good and brave ever in the majority. Margaret Mitchell- - Life is under no obligation to give us what we expect. |
