What's your favorite quote?

There's no particular reason why I started this discussion. But... Anyone feeling a little down recently? Most quotes are rather inspiring, aren't they? Sometimes, just reading them will make you reflect on yourself or others. I dunno... I always think of some quotes when I feel a little hopeless.

So here's a list! To funny-and-maybe-a-little-weird to beautifully/inspiring ones! (Maybe not in that order xD)

Let's begin with my favourite one! ^^

''No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted.''

''Use your smile to change the world, but don't let the world change your smile.''

''No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.''

''Be who you are and say what you feel 'cause those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.''

''People who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.''

''Life is like a camera. Focus on what's important and you'll capture it perfectly.''

''Winners never quit, and quitters never win.''

''Yesterday. You said tomorrow.''

''The only time 'succes' comes before 'work' is in the dictionary.''

''Work hard in silence, let your succes be your noise.''

''The best revenge is massive succes.''

''All that's necessary for the triumph of 'evil' is that the 'good' people do nothing.''

''Stupidity killed the cat. Curiosity got framed.''

You say I'm not cool. But cool is another word for cold.
If I'm not cold, I'm hot. I know I'm hot.
Thanks for acknowledging it.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

If you think things can't get worse, it's probably because you lack sufficient imagination.


Life.

Is the art of drawing without an eraser.

@Tatari "One day I will gather all your memories and go to the beach. No one will ever know why the sandcastles glow at night." You said that you read this quote somewhere. I recently found this quote circulating on Facebook and really want to make a song out of it, and so I need to find the source. It'd be lovely if you could help with that. (Found your conversation off of Google, so I'm very new to this website.)

@YiTingx I'm not really into American pop anymore aside from some bands who are rarely featured on the radio, though (as far as I know), but I do like American rock and I'm also into K-Pop :) That's what I'm mainly listening to.

@Tatari I know what you mean; it's like they're not unrealistically optimistic but they still have that tinge of hope. It's stuff like that that gets you through difficult times. Same here haha! It's a real skill :)

@xXMilkAndHoneyXx I honestly have to say: I love really sad quotes that are worded so artistically, with a small ray of happiness, or hope. It makes it so beautiful because they're worded in such a... picturesque way. The glowing sandcastles really made me remember that quote. I'd known some other beautiful quotes that were like that but sadly I don't remember them and don't really know how to re-find them again. *sigh* I really love picture-like wording, wish I could write like that non-stop XD

@Tatari That's such a sad but beautiful interpretation :') It makes a lot of sense as well, because when I first read it I didn't know where to start with unraveling it's meaning. But yes the wording is gorgeous, and the image of the glowing sandcastles is very distinct for some reason. I guess it's about finding hope even in the worst possible moments, like you suggested.

@xXMilkAndHoneyXx About my quote with the sandcastle: "One day I will gather all your memories and go to the beach. No one will ever know why the sandcastles glow at night." I haven't thought of it, but I've read it somewhere before and it was so beautiful, I just remembered it :D

I think it's about a dead person, to be honest. That person (that was left behind) is talking about taking all of their shared memories, going to the beach, and mix them with the sand while making a sandcastle. The memories seem to be so... happy that they glow. (For that person talking.) So, the beautiful memories mixed in the sand will glow at night, illuminating the darkness (which often represents loneliness) with their happiness, their hope, their strength; their light.

The glowing memories make the darkness more bearable.

At least that's how I interpret that quote. Even if it's not like that, it's still worded so freaking beautiful ;-; :3

@YiTingx I actually wanted to include more but I thought it was starting to get long so I stopped it there lol I like the book one, but then again I'm a er for beautiful descriptions about something put into a picture or something :D (in this case a page and a book) For me, it's just that it sounds like, at one point in the lives of these people, there was something that has made them stop caring and all they want is other people to be hurt, hence watching the world burn.
Or it's meant in a literal way, could be that, too XD

Yeah, like the other quote, you either die good or live long enough to turn evil at some point (for some people, some might stay "good"). Don't worry, I always do that, too XD

@YiTingx Nah. If you can stand a pinch at that spot, you will most likely stand a tattoo there as well. ^^ a nice way to know whether it'll hurt or not. And it doesn't look at all like a needle so, ;)

I've been reading this thread and the quotes are so gorgeous! Especially the one about memories and glowing sandcastles, I don't quite understand it but it's so evocative :) One of my favorites would have to be "Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats".

@Tatari Woa there's so many! They're wonderful, thank you ^^
''Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are.''
''Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.''
''Mistake is a single page of life but relation is a complete book. So don't lose a full book for a single page.''

These are the ones who stood out to me the most <3
The last sentence of the first quote got to me too. Idk... It kinda reflects on how little people actually know about each other. At least, that's what it sounded like to me xD I thought of this quote:
''No one is born a racist.'' (Maybe not quite in those words, but it's the thought that counts xD) And I was thinking: Well, no one is born evil either.

lol sorry, I'm thinking too deeply about this xD

@YiTingx They have kept me going for years already. I keep them close to my heart by now ^^
Not that badass, imo... :p They don't hurt that much either. X3

My favorite one would probably be, "Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn." The last sentence somehow got me, I don't know why, though.

Others I also like: "I am a quitter. I quit complaining. I quit giving up. I quit making excuses - I quit."
"If at first you don't succeed.... so much for skydiving."
"Lead us not into temptation. Just tell us where it is; we will find it."
"A stranger stabs you in the front; a friend stabs you in the back; a boyfriend stabs you in the heart, but best friends only poke each other with straws."
"The safest way to double your money is to fold it over once and put it in your pocket."
“Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are.”
“If you cannot be the poet, be the poem.”
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.”
“I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade… And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.”
“Mistake is a single page of life but relation is a complete book. So don’t lose a full book for a single page.”
“You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”

"One day, I will gather all your memories and go to the beach. No one will ever know why the sandcastles glow at night."

The last one probably counts as my second-favorite quote ever :D
