"Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop."
- 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.) |
