i thought it would be cool to put your favorite quote/s down i will start out with Billy Corgan "The simplest way that I can understand therapy, is that we're born a certain way, we're taught to be something different, and we spend our lives trying to unravel it." "I don't know if god would agree with me, but believing in God is kind of unimportant when compared to believing in yourself. Because if you go with the idea that God gave you a mind and an ability to judge things, then he would want you to believe in yourself and not worry about believing in him. By believing in yourself you will come to the conclusion that will point to something." Time is never time at all, you can never ever leave. Without leaving a piece of youth (Tonight Tonight) Robert Frost Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper. The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working when you get up in the morning, and doesn't stop until you get to the office. Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired. The world is full of willing people; some willing to work, the rest willing to let them. In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. And finally Socrates By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. |

hey, this is a good idea but I don't think it belongs here in this forum... We might need to ask Ron about having a quote forum or something. This forum is for poetry that is written by the person who posts it. |

This is a cool thread, I must say. If Socrates is, indeed, correct, then I need to change my line of work!!! lol. OK, here's my additions: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7 I'll never break my promise or forget me vows, but G-d only knows what I would do right now. Robert Aday Be like the rhino: tough skinned, one-minded of purpose, and letting nothing get in your way. Mark Rudibek I drank what? Socrates. OK, OK... maybe he didn't say this one... We are all equal but we’re individually different |

"Sometimes you gotta dig deep, when problems come near Don't fear things get severe for everybody everywhere Why do bad things happen, to good people? Seems that life is just a constant war between good and evil The situation that I'm facin, is mad amazin to think such problems can arise from minor confrontations" Guru "This life's dim windows of the soul Distorts the heavens from pole to pole And leads you to believe a lie When you see with, not through, the eye." -Willam Blake "I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen." -Ernest Hemingway "Beauty is truth, truth beauty." -John Keats "You always was committed A poor single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it There's no way I can pay you back But the plan is to show you that I understand You are appreciated"-Tu Pac "Though I walk thru the valley of hell the shadow follows me, Wisdom hard to swallow tomorrow expect apologies, You probably panic, stranded in search of a better planet Realism hard to understand, we stand slanted and still stranded, merciless thieves stole the best of me"-Tu Pac "Ayo, my pen and paper cause a chain reaction To get your brain relaxin, a zany actin maniac in action A brainiac in fact son, you mainly lack attraction You look insanely wack when just a fraction of my tracks run" -Eminem "Willin to stick out my neck, for respect if it meant life or death, never live to regret what I said When you're me, people just want to see, if it's true If it's you, what you say in your raps, what you do So they feel, it's part of your obligation to fulfill When they see you on the streets, face to face, are you for real?"-Eminem "For those who understand you, no explanation is necessary. For those who don't, none is possible." |

Now for you and me it made not be that hard to reach our dreams But that magic feeling never seems to last. And while the future's there for anyone to change Still you know it's seems ... It would be easier sometimes to change the past. ~Jackson Browne~ When your own emptiness is all that's getting through There comes a point when you're not sure why you're still talking ... I passed that point long ago. ~Jackson Browne~ We wish ourselves beautiful ... We cry in the night And it's not the love you fear ... But the fall from the height. ~Edwin McCain~ Found your heart but lost your lover ... licked your wounds then run for cover. Take your time ... there'll be another, and dont make the same mistake twice ... unless you can pay the price. ~Dan Fogelberg~ ... And think not, that you can direct the course of love ... if it finds you worthy ... it then directs your course. But if you love and must need, let these be your desires: To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love ... And to bleed willingly and joyfully." from "The Prophet" Khalil Gibran "The heart has reasons which reason knows nothing of." Blaise Pascal |

I love quotes.... There are too many to put down.... lol.... I have quotes written on my walls in black permanent marker! *grin* My mom was not impressed. XD It's ok, though. We worked it all out.  Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect. -Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Better to write for yourself and have no public than to write for the public and have no self. -Cyril Connolly How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live. -Henry David Thoreau  Kielo Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. |

I'm also a quote lover. I even use them for all my AIM away messages. I have so many, but here are a few of my absolute favorites. "The intellectual is constantly betrayed by his vanity. Godlike he blandly assumes that he can express everything in words; whereas the things one loves, lives, and dies for are not, in the last analysis completely expressible in words." -Anne Morrow Lindbergh "The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do." -John Holt "We may not be as good as we want to be, but we'll never be any better then we try to be." -Honestly cannot remember. It's not mine and if you actually know who said it I would love to know. "Through me you pass into the city of woe: Through me you pass into eternal pain: Through me among the people lost for aye. Justice the founder of my fabric moved: To rear me was the task of power divine, Supremest wisdom, and primeval love. Before me things create were none, save things Eternal, and eternal I shall endure. All hope abandon, ye who enter here." -Dante Alighieri, Divine Comedy, The "All is not gold that glitters." -Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote "Here at last We shall be free; the Almighty hath not built Here for his envy, will not drive us hence: Here we may reign secure, and in my choice To reign is worth ambition though in Hell: Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven." -John Milton, Paradise Lost "It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known." -Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities "Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself." -Chinese Proverb "A man never tells you anything until you contradict him." -George Bernard Shaw "If an army of monkeys were strumming on typewriters, they might write all the books in the British Museum." -Sir Arthur Eddington, "In the Nature of the Physical World", 1928 "Fall seven times, stand up eight." -Japanese Proverb (my third fav of all.) "The sweet isn't as sweet without the sour" -Vanilla Sky (second fav) "The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death." -Thomas Paine (my number 1 fav) I really must stop myself or I could go on all night. Btw a great place to look up new quotes is quoteland.com I do believe I have read every quote on the site. ex animo, Aaron They say the sweet is never as sweet without the sour. So where's my sweet? |

No fear of death but fear of life. Your weakness kills everyone... So live! -Davey Havok (Narrative of Soul Against Soul - Black Sails in the Sunset) "What are you going to do?" "I'm going to kiss you..." Oh, was that all? "...until you faint." -L.J. Smith (The Chase - The Forbidden Game trilogy) Inflict the worst of pleasures to make it all feel better. I've been abused and used, don't you think that I'll damage you? -Rommel Regulacion (title track - Damaged) I've been denied all the best ultra-sex. -Mindless Self Indulgence (inappropriate title - Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy) And though you're still with me, I've been alone all along. -Amy Lee (My Immortal - Fallen) Your breath is so soft, sipping coffee smoking cigarettes. -Mikhail Chmielecki (a kiss) Then y' can add in any word ever written by Neil Gaiman, and it's all good. remember the sound |

" Men use thought only as authority for their injustice, and employ speech only to conceal their thoughts" ~ Voltaire "An intellectual is a man who says a simple thing in a difficult way; an artist is a man who says a difficult thing in a simple way." ~Charles Bukowski "Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome." ~Isaac Asimov "We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe." ~Goethe "He who fights monsters should look into it that he himself does not become a monster. When you gaze long into the Abyss, the Abyss also gazes into you." ~Nietzche "There is no greater sorrow than to recall in misery the time when we were happy." ~ Dante One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul, and yet no one ever comes to sit by it. ~Van Gogh "Love is friendship set on fire." ~french proverb "The Edge... There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over. The others --- the living --- are those who pushed their control as far as they felt they could handle it, and then pulled back, or slowed down, or did whatever they had to when it came time to choose between Now and Later" ~Hunter S thompson "I have a theory that the truth is never told during the 9 to 5 hours." ~Hunter S Thompson "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone.... but they've always worked for me." ~ Hunter S Thompson |

"Of all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these: it might have been." John Greenleaf Whittier (That's always been my favorite.) "I won't go, I won't sleep, I can't breathe, until you're resting here with me." -Dido "Just a hang up call and the quiet breathing of our Persian we call Cajun on a Wednesday." -Tori Amos "And I'd have fought the world for you If I thought that you wanted me to Or put aside what was true or untrue If I'd know that's what you needed, What you needed me to do." - Jackson Browne (thanks to JM  )I could go on forever here because there are lots more, but I won't. ...a chill that bends; this I swear--you're the fiercest calm I've been in... |
