Favorite Life Quotes?

[TokyoRain]

What are some of your favorite life quotes?

I like these:

Do not give things to people who are unable to appreciate them.

We were not created at jest or at random, but for a specific purpose and end.

Sometimes it is right to do the wrong thing.

(This is from a website that I found, the title is Life Lessons)

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.

I've learned that it's not what you have in your life, but whom you have in your life that counts.

I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I've learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I've learned that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I've learned that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And, just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

I’ve learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn’t stop for your grief.

I’ve learned that no matter how you try to protect your children, they will eventually get hurt, and you will hurt in the process.

Loneliness---------------

Is being out of touch with yourself

Denying your innermost need by pretending it doesn't exist

Defying what you desperately want to accept

Exchanging tenderness for bitterness

Causing unnecessary alienation all for the sake of pride

[michellenicole]

:P those are all very good quotes.

On a lighter note here are some funny ones that I like.

I've read somewhere that drinking was bad for you. I gave up reading.

I can resist everything except temptation.

Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain

If you can't fix it with duck tape you haven't used enough

I ain't sleeping. I'm just taking a good look at the insides of my eyelids

Procrastination is the greatest laborsaving invention of all time

Cheese… milk's leap toward immortality

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It's just that yours is stupid.

Hope you enjoyed these too :P

Don't squat with your spurs on.

Never look straight up at a bird.

[CarleyGee]

If love be rough with you, be rough with love;
Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down.

-Romeo and Juliet ^_^

Here's another:

Don't take life so seriously, no one gets out alive anyways.

[Jaydelart]

There's that other one: Some people are only alive because it's illegal to kill them. heh

Another one that is fairly funny...not really a life quote but still a quote about life nontheless

[TokyoRain]

The ones you have chosen were very good, although at a certain age you realize them yourself. Half of my life and my mistakes are in those lines. Too bad.
