what? what what?? and You, you never explained your flushing toilets quote!! and the monkeys one,, why did you like them?

[quote=s.b.f][quote=You]Call me a one trick pony, but I like this one. it's not really a quote - more of a story.[/quote]

this is the longest 'quote'' ive ever read

but its pretty darn funny tho 🙂

"Time will come that all that we love, we will eventually loose, and all that we hate we will eventually face."

"Fine words butter no parsnips."

It kinda applies to this topic, as well as fitting in it!

"Marriage is the one war where you get to sleep with the enemy."

😂

"We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly"

that kind of makes sense

"It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt"

😂

"Do, or do not. There is no 'try'"

I like this one when Im confused. I tell myself to stop being pathetic and get on with it.

I do not like it and I also think that is both wrong and gives the wrong message.

[quote=s.b.f]"Do, or do not. There is no 'try'"

A Yoda quote... from someone other than me. Who'd hav thunk it?

[quote=You]I do not like it and I also think that is both wrong and gives the wrong message.[/quote]

Yes it does, but someone who just wants to clear things up in their heads, it can be a bit motivational.
For example, I dont like the "do not" bit of the quote. Makes me feel like iv failed. SO I want to do the "do" ; if that makes sense. Because it says "there is no try" it kind of pushes you a bit more to to do the "do" whatever that is.

okay my example may make no sense to you whatsoever.

Whats a Yoda quote? :S

"It is always the small things that catch your breath." - Ghandi.

I like this quote. Because I think its true. Sometimes, the big things in your life are boring and the same as everyone else. They dont really make you unique. Its like when your writing your CV,, and sometimes nearly everyones look the same,, because of the big things that people generally do. Like helping out in the third world. the big thing to do is going out there and building a school or something. But the small thing might be making one person there happy which gives you the good feeling really.

Again im making no sense. It only makes sense in my head. But any of you have a better example of what this quote means please say.

"Yesterday's failures are today's seeds that
must be diligently planted to be able to
abundantly harvest tomorrow's successes."

"Occam's Razor. The simplest explanation is almost always somebody screwed up."

"A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book."

"Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine."

😂 << appropiate smiley

"You've got to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you've got, and remember what you had. Always forgive, but never forget. Learn from mistakes, but never regret. "

"Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings."

😂

"Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance?"

That sounds like something I would say!

Saying that, hard work HAS killed. The original marathon:

The modern Athens Marathon commemorates the run of the soldier Pheidippides from a battlefield at the site of the town of Marathon, Greece, to Athens in 490 B.C., bringing news of a Greek victory over the Persians. Legend has it that Pheidippides delivered the momentous message "Niki!" ("victory"), then collapsed and died, thereby setting a precedent for dramatic conclusions to the marathon.

I know! I was thinking that was a bit of a You-ish quote! thats why I put it up!
made me kind of relax to be honest. I felt like why should I work if its bad for me anyway? A perfectbly good excuse not to do work, I think! 😃

(Im changing this trail of thought, when I wake up tomorrow insha'allah)

"Don't have the attitude that you'll never be good enough...instead, ask yourself what you can do better and remind yourself that we are all struggling with both inward and outward challenges."

Although its not something that makes me smile.
Its just a quote someone said to me recently that made me think.

"In the confrontation between the stream and
the rock, the stream always wins - not
by strength but by perseverance."

If i keep trying... maybe things will work out.
If i bear my burdens and persevere maybe things will pan out.

I rather doubt it tbh.
