"You watch your phraseology!"
- Mayor Shinn, The Music Man "You pile up enough tomorrows, and you'll find you are left with nothing but a lot of empty yesterdays. I don't know about you, but I'd like to make today worth remembering." - Harold Hill, The Music Man "I asked myself what I could say that would be relevant to your experience across this gulf of nearly 40 years, and it is for you to do what I have worked to do in my life: continue to invest in yourselves, never stop learning, never stop growing, either professionally or personally. To show up for your life, choose not to be a bystander, be present and celebrate every moment." - Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger's Purdue Graduation Address "Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious...and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." - Walt Disney

- Lewis Carroll's King of Hearts "We were born to die and we die to live. As seedlings of God, we barely blossom on earth; we fully flower in Heaven." - Russell M. Nelson "I think I can. I think I can. I think I can." - The Little Engine That Could *smack on head* "Ow! Jeez, what was that for?" "It doesn't matter. It's in the past." "Yeah, but it still hurts." "Oh yes, the past can hurt. But from the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it." - Rafiki and Simba "Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt." - William Shakespeare "Ninety percent of this game is half mental." - Yogi Berra/Danny Ozark "Just. What a horrible, candle-snuffing word." - J.M. Barrie Firstly, I love quotes. Secondly, here are some I think are awesome..a whole page dedicated to them, in fact. Let's start with one of my Dad's favorites, followed by my all-time fave:
"When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But, when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much he had learned in 7 years." - Mark Twain "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right." - Henry Ford "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss "It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then." - Alice in Wonderland "Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." - Albert Einstein "Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it." - Charles Swindoll "You know, if I had a dog as ugly as you, I'd shave its butt and tell it to walk backwards." - The Great Hambino "You can't soar with eagles when you're surrounded by turkeys." - I dunno who said this. (Sidenote: I do, however, recall my father quoting this when I was deciding which college to go to. I could never remember how it went, but the message stuck.) |
