Quotes

What is your favorite quote and why (explain it to me)?

26 comments:

  1. My favorite quote of all time is :

    "The brave may not live long, but the afraid don't live at all."

    This is my favorite quote because it is very true. If you live your life being afraid to even try anything, you will never enjoy life. If everyone lived their life being afraid to try new things the world wouldn't be anything.

    Take Columbus for example. He said that the world was round when everyone thought it was flat. If he was afraid to voyage out and find out for himself, we probably wouldn't have found out that the world was round until way later.

    Yeah, many people get hurt by taking risks but I'm sure its worth it. Now some people are just stupid and do stupid things but thats not what i'm talking about. I wanted to go to Ghost town in the mountains but the catch was that i had to ride the skylift ALONE. Yeah, I was scared but i knew when i got to the top of the mountain i would be really happy with myself.

    If you never try new things and venture out and live your life, you never really live at all. :)

  2. My favorite quote is: "bump the sky, i have no limits" this is a excerpt from the famous philosopher/artist weezy f. baby. He was a very wise a great man who still loves today.

    Sadly he is in the big house. He was toting a lot of "heat". But he has to tote this heat because he is a goon and has no other choice. He had to grow up hard in "these streets"!

    These means a lot to me because it gives me the knowledge to know how great i am. Others marvel at the greatness and know that they will never get like me!!!

  3. My favorite quote is:

    "Never look down, always look up. And when you look up, you notice there are no ceilings. That is because the sky is the limit."

    When i heard that i thought to myself and i thought that i could be whatever i want to be as long as i stride for it.

    The quote means to me that you can do anything as long as you keep your head up. Anything can be done if you put your mind to it. Lil Wayne said this quote as well, but its better than the one Banks found.

    Oh and Banks. People would want to be their own person not just you. No offence.

  4. My absolute favorite quote is... "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?..."

    I love this quote because it tells about the excuses that people give for not being the best that they can be. It shows that it is our duty to be all of the things that we can be because that is what God called us to do.

    When I first heard this quote, it made me stop and think about the meaning of it. It has inspired me to be the best that I can be all of the time. I think that everyone needs to be their best because if you're not doing or being your best then what good are you? People who don't use their talentes that they are given are just lazy people, and they don't deserve to go far in life.

    I love this quote, and I hope that it inspires other people the same way it inspires me.

  5. "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."

    This quote is by Winston Churchill. I love this quote because it can fit into any day life. I feel like every lie makes its way from person to person.

    Last year a lot of rumors went around and when I saw this quote it made me feel like I have a reason for hope. I am not the only intelligent person who feels that lies are horrible.

    When you lie you are breaking down another person. Lies are so horrible, and I feel like they not only ruin reputation, but also lives.

  6. "Girls on my stick but my name aint Harry Potter." This quote is from an African American artist by the name of Little Dwayne Carter. This quote reminds me of myself because the girls come after me all the time.

    This inspires me to go hard all the time and to do my very best. Harry Potter is the man. TOTALLY MAN YYEEAA ROCCKK ONN!!! I have always wanted to be a wizard and take girls for rides on my stick and soar into the air at night time. I think this would be romantic.

    I also have always wanted to be magical also. I want to be like Harry Potter but that is not my name, this is why everybody calls me YOO GOODFFREEYY!! Thanks. BBUUUURRRR!!

  8. I have so many favorite quotes, and they're all my favorites for a reason.

    "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
    - Eleanor Roosevelt

    I like that quote because to me, it says that the future will be run by the people who believed they could achieve their dreams. That the people who believed they could be anything they pleased will be the most successful.

    "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans."
    - John Lennon

    This quote says a lot to me, such as with life, you just have to live. If you spend every moment mapping it out, something is going to happen because life doesn't work that way. You don't need to know the route, just know where you're going, and you'll get there.

    "Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one."
    - Malcolm Forbes

    Whenever I read this quote, it reminds me all this work will pay off in the end. Because education helps you open your eyes to see all that people have done in the past, and envision all that we can do in the future. That we, as people, hold the power to make us into who we want to be.

    And last but not least:

    "For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness."
    - Ralph Waldo Emerson

    This quote probably means the most to me in everyday life, mostly because it made me see that a minute is short to be angry, but sixty seconds is much too long. That you only have so long to live, and you shouldn't waste sixty entire seconds being angry over something unimportant.

  9. my favorite quote is " I cannot die, i have to much money to die." i like this quote because it symbolizes how you can do bassicly anything you wont as long as you have money. and this is how our society works. although we have tryed not to make it the way it is, it is a natural law of society to look up on rich people and look down on the unwealthy kids. i dont know where i got this qupte but i like is alot, i think it came from a movie over the weekend.

  10. My favorite quote is "Self-confidence gives you the freedom to make mistakes and cope with failure without feeling that your world has come to an end." This is my favorite quote for many reasons. It encourages me not to ever let other people make me feel any less and everyone could always use some positive reinforcement. It is uplifting and could even be considered a way of life.

    When I hear this quote, I think "Okay, if I make a mistake, it's not a big deal, I can brush it off." Not having to worry about making mistakes and the views judgmental people might have on those mistakes, relieves a whole lot of stress from me. This quote has allowed me to come and understand that everyone messes up and that it's okay.

    Another quote I love is "You win or you loose; either way, the sun comes up in the morning." This quote is very brutally honest and that's why I love it. It's very straightforward. My interpretation of this quote is like if you win, great good for you, but if you loose, it's not the end of the world, that same sun will come up tomorrow.

    My two favorite quotes inspire me and I sincerely hope they inspire others! :)

  11. My favorite quote is "To Live is to Die" This quote is my favorite because it is so true. For a person to really live their life, then they have to die. A person can't say he/she has really lived until they die.

    It also has another meaning. To live your life and if anything bad happens in your life, then leave it behind you and move on with your life. Forget about what happened to you in the past and let bygones be bygones. Look towards your future.

    I also have another favorite quote which is, "Carpe Diem", which translated from Latin means "Seize the Day". I Carpe Diem everyday because I don't know what could happen to me in the next second or minute or hour or day. So I take hold of every opportunity that comes my way. I Carpe Diem

    "It's better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you are not."

    I like this quote because, it sounds like something I would tell someone. I also think it's true. Don't be something your not just so someone will like you.

    If someone is your true friend they will accept you for you. Also if someone doesn't like you don't let it hurt you because, if you need them in your life they would be in it.

    Some people live by quotes and others might not even know what quotes are. Don't let them rule your life but, let them help you. Some can help and some can hurt, just chose them right.

  14. My favorite quote is, if you follow all the rules, you will miss all the fun. I think this is true.....I mean, dont do anything bad, or get in any trouble, but you should have fun in life. Think about it, you have this one life!

    So I think you should have fun. And its fine to make mistakes, just dont make them twice. Also if you do follow alllll the rules, you will probably have a boring life. You will not have nearlly as much fun as you could.

    Just if you do follow this quote, dont get in trouble!!! I know i live by this quote and i have it hanging in my bedroom!!!

  15. my favorite quote is "love everyone, trust no one!" this is so true. you should love everybody but you shouldnt trust everybody, becuase you never really know who might tell.

    loving everyone isn't hard to love everyone. when you were little you were taught to love everyone, or atleast i was. bu trusting people is the hard part.

    you can tell someone a secrett and then they will more than likely turn right back around and tell someone else. that is why i normally tend to keep things to my self. so remember "love everyone, trust no one! "

  16. my favorite quote is:

    "you can't get back 5 minutes from the past, but you can plan ahead for the future."
    - Kris Berry

    my dad told me this when i was real young and it has stuck with me from then.it means that you can't always wish that you could take it back. you should not live from the past.

    you should live up to the future and not wish you can take it back. it real got to me when i got older. somethings are valuable and somethings you need to get rid of.

  17. My favorite quote of all times is..."Don't let the fear of striking out, keep you from playing the game."

    I like this quote the most because it is saying that even if you are afraid of something, don't let it keep you from doing something.

    That is why my absolute favorite quote is..."Don't let the fear of striking out, keep you from playing the game."

  18. "The skies the limit"!
    This to me means, that you can do whatever you want to do in life, Don't let anyone tell you that you can't and also do anything and any goal you want to do.
    Its my favorite quote because I do not like for people to tell me that I can't do something that I want to do. I do think that the skies the limit because you can do whatever you want to do in life and its no need to "hold back". If you have a goal that you want to do, DO IT. No one is stopping you from doing that and nobody can tell you that you can't unless its against the law of course:]. Life is to short not to achieve goals or be something that you want to be but don't because you think you can't. You never know unless you try right?

  19. "Be creative with your FUTURE but never look back and try to redo your PAST"

    This quote comes from yours truly and you better believe it. People always try to focus on what they should of done way back when but look it does not matter because what is done is done.

    I for one know that if I try to redo my past I would not be where I am today because my past has molded me in ways you could never imagine and everybody goes through there own trials and tribulations

  20. My favorite quote is:

    "No man can eat 50 eggs"

    It was originally stated in the movie "Cool hands Luke". It has also been reiterated by Green Day drummer Tre' Cool. I think this quote means that everybody has limits, and that you are what your limits are.

    Also, I think it means that all limits you think you have you have put on yourself. This means that when you say "No man can eat 50 eggs" you are essentially saying "I can't eat 50 eggs". This same attitude can be translated to "I can't pass this test" and "I can't finish this project". And you are not going to do anything, with an I can't attitude.

    If you have the attitude of cool hands Luke, you will say "I can eat 50 eggs". Because once you have an outlook like that , no one can stop you, because you have not stopped you. I think it is very important to believe in yourself. Once you believe in yourself, you can eat 50 eggs.

  21. My favorite quote is, "There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who wont anymore, and who always will. SO don't worry about the people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it into your future."

    This basically means that the people in the past are people you don't need to worry about because there is always a reason why they didn't make it into your future. Also, it means that you will one day realize who is a real friend and who isn't.

    I LOVE that quote. It it something that I can relate to and it is so true. That is why this quote is my favorite quote.

  22. "A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth."
    I love this quote because even though somebody lies. They could never tell the truth because lyin is their life trait you mind as well say.Even when they tell the truth they can't believe their self because all they do is lie and so the truth becomes a lie to them.This quote reaally explian its self because a liar never tell the truth they only speak a lie.So I look up to this quote.

  23. I actually have two favorite quotes. The first one is "Live everyday as if it were your last, because one of these days you will be right." The second one is " Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again."

    "Live everyday as if it were your last, because one of these days you will be right." To me, this quote means that you should just live life to the fullest. Try not to do anything you will regret in life. Don't stay mad with friends or loved ones about stupid or childish things because you never know when you will take your last breath.

    "Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again." This quote is for the people who do stupid things over and over again. If you have a bad experience one time, you should be able to determine when a situation like that is rising or taking place again.

  24. my favorite quote is “the worst thing about being lied to is knowing you weren't worth the truth". i like this quote because people get lied to everyday for no known reason! everyone is worth the truth and they deserve to know the truth!

    i personally don't know why people are lied to! i mean, why lie to someone? they eventually will find out the truth whether you tell them or not! if you don't tell someone the truth you leading them on with a lie!

    this will make both of you look stupid! i don't understand why people lie. it's not fair to the other person, and you’re not being true to yourself or others! lying makes people feel bad about themselves and it makes them tell more lies to cover up the first one!

  25. My favorite quote is " you cant think and hit at the same time." I don't know who said this line first, but it has really helped me.

    I was going through a slump in one of my travel ball tournaments. someone told me this quote before the 3rd game. That game was the best game of my life. I hit 2 home runs and we won 12-2.

    Whoever said this quote has to be really smart and know a lot about baseball. I'm sure he has helped a lot of ball players

  26. My favorite quote is " If you think you can do a thing or can't do a thing; you're right." - Henry Ford.

    I really like this quote because, it is very relatible and can be applied to almost anything you do. It basically means that if you tell yourself you can do something your going to do it. But, if you tell yourself that you can't, or your not good enough, you won't do it.

    This quote really inspires me when I feel defeated, or I'm about to give up. This is why this qoute is my favorite.
