Your Favorite Quotes
The premise is simple,
You comment on the above quote something about it. And give your own that you like, with proper dues to the person who you heard it from of course. I'll start. My favorite of all time, keeps me going when I box. "Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live the world they have been given, rather than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It is an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It is a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." -This quote was written by the author of 'The Difference' also used by Muhammad Ali:arrgh!: |
That is pretty impressive and motivating, to me at least. Nothing to add.

I have a list of several hundred "favorites", and it grows by at least one per month. I change my sig every month, and it always comes from that list, so look at my sig for this month's quote.
Here's one I like that's too long to use as a sig: "The Bill of Rights is a literal and absolute document. The First Amendment doesn't say you have a right to speak out unless the government has a 'compelling interest' in censoring the internet. The Second Amendment doesn't say you have the right to keep and bear arms until some madman plants a bomb. The Fourth Amendment doesn't say you have the right to be secure from search and seizure unless some FBI agent thinks you fit the profile of a terrorist. The government has no right to interfere with any of these freedoms under any circumstances." -Harry Browne, 1996 Libertarian presidential candidate Quote:

Now i could think of a bunch of quotes, but only one comes to mind right now, and I have no idea who originally said it. Hell id be surprised if anyone knows where it came from, but I first heard it years and years ago, and have found myself repeating it often enough through the years since i first heard it. "You can wish in one hand and crap* in the other; see which one fills up first". - author unknown. *crap, synonym for 4 letter explenative that starts with an S and ends with a T the forum mods don't like us to use. ** I've sometimes substituted "wish" for "Pray" when i thought it appropriate. |
