What is/are your favorite quote(s)?

"Okay, just don't get it in my hair." - Your Mom

"Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."

Terry Pratchett

"Why does it smell like a French whore in here?!" My school bus driver after a girl sprayed a noxious amount of perfume.

Do bumper stickers count? "Keep working. People on welfare depend on you."

"For several hundred years, what we really taught children was to respect power, authority, and violence - but not other human beings."

"When children cease to cooperate, it is either because they have cooperated too much for too long, or because their integrity has been harmed, It is never because they are uncooperative."

"Generally, children react self-destructively towards violations. That is, when parents, consciously or unconsciously, violate their children's integrity in the same way and at regular intervals, children do not conclude that their parents have acted wrongly. They assume that they themselves are wrong! Losing their sense of *self-esteem*, they accumulate a sense of *guilt* or *shame*."

...I could go on and on. These are all from "Your Competent Child" by Jesper Juul. I absolutely love his work. Reading it really changed how I look at my work and my upbringing, and how I want to change how I relate to children I work with.

Open your mind before your mouth.

"Nevermore."

Really my favorite quote is ...

"You are the one who makes your life the way it is; not the other people around you. So don't blame others for your feelings and don't let the thought of what others have said to you bring you down, just move on in life. There are so many great things out there for you to enjoy and see."

I forget who said that :)

I like many of Andy Warhol's quotes:

"Being born is like being kidnapped and then sold into slavery"

"Since people are going to be living longer and getting older, they’ll just have to learn how to be babies longer."

"Dying is the most embarrassing thing that can happen to you because someone else has to take care of all the details."

"Big deal, death comes with the territory. See you in Disneyland."

-Richard Ramirez, the night stalker.

"We all pay for life with death, so everything in between should be free."

-Bill Hicks

"If you don't think drugs have done good things for us, then take all of your records, tapes and CD's and burn them."

-Bill Hicks

"My manner of thinking, so you say, cannot be approved. Do you suppose I care? A poor fool indeed is he who adopts a manner of thinking for others!"

-Marquis de Sade

"I'm not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it happens."

―Woody Allen

I have a few.
"Curiosity killed the cat" basically means that being curious can lead to trouble. I have since used that to name my own one.
"Persistence killed the cat", even unnecessary persistence can lead to trouble. Something I frequently tell my younger cousin as he tries to beat me at every, single, thing.

Famous quotes.
"I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion."
- Alexander the Great

"Stumbling seven times, but recovering eight."
Means: Perseverance is better than defeat.
- Japanese Proverb

"A fall into a ditch makes you wiser."
Means: You learn from mistakes
- Chinese Proverb

I have more, but my favorite is Alexanders one.
It can mean lots of things.
- An army of Lions would turn on their leader (sheep) and rebel, but an army of sheep wouldn't turn on a lion.
- Lions are strong. If a man is a fierce and deadly as a lion his killing intent can make even sheep deadly.
- A powerful leader can make even the weak, threatening.
- It shows value of leaders.
- Its not the quality of the soldiers, but the one who leads them.
- You should be afraid of the mind (lion leader), and not the body (sheep army)
- Being stupid can make even powerful lions pathetic.
And more.

"Regular naps prevent old age, especially if you take them while driving."

Interesting fact, some of the quotes that people associate with being Lincoln's weren't actually said (originally) by Lincoln.

"You should always waste time when you don't have any."
- The Doctor

"To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing. -Elbert Hubbard

"sometimes, on the way to your dream, you get lost and find a better one."

I love Abraham Lincoln's quotes too :)
Very wise man. I especially love
"Am I not destroying my enemies by making friends of them?"

"try not to get shit on the sheets" guest house paradiso

"follow me through a city of frost covered angels, I swear I have nothing to prove I just want to dance in your tangles to give me some reason to move, but to take on the world at all angles requires a strength I can't use so i'll meet you up high in your anger, of all that is hoping and waiting for you."

"To see with eyes unclouded by hate."- Prince Ashitaka (Princess Mononoke)

Professor Sam Tucker: [opening lines] Once in a great while mankind unlocks a secret so profound that our future is altered forever. Fire, electricity, splitting the atom... At the dawn of the 31st century we unlocked another. It had the potential to change humanity's role in the universe. We called it the "Titan Project," and it was a testament to the limitless power of the human imagination. Perhaps that is what the Drej feared most, for it brought them down upon us without warning and without mercy. Cale, that day, the day that the Drej descended from the sky, the only thing that mattered was keeping you safe. (Titan a.e)

"We always thought that Earth would be our home."- Titan a.e

Enigma's lyrics. They are all so beautiful.

"Stand up for what you belive in EVEN if it means standing alone"
-Andy B. I <3 this quoteee.

“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up everytime we do.”

- Confucius

i love this poem ''It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea''

Just because it can be be done, it doesn't mean it has to be done.

Applies to so many situations.

'Don't throw stones in glass houses'

My house isn't glass but if you came over and started chucking rocks at the walls I would kick your ass out.

Lol when I picked the fourth option I had no idea it would seem so harsh. What I meant was that for me this quote was about keeping calm and collected not just speaking your mind but they're pretty similar. Now, I certainly do feel like a fool.
