    Favorite quotes & proverbs?

    I'm looking for new quotes to add to my quote book! So I was thinking lets share are favorite quotes. I have two that really resonate with how I live my life and do things.

    "Only those who will risk going to far can possibly find out how far one can go"- T.S.Elliot

    "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather skid in sideways, covers in scars, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming 'HELL YEA!', what a ride." -Unknown

    Now it's your turn.

    A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

    "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."

    — Oscar Wilde

    ...and yes, there's another one:

    "When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It is difficult only for the others.
    It is the same when you are stupid."

    I've got tonnes of quotes I like. Haha, hope you don't mind the long list. Off the top of my head:

    "Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted. And experience is often the most valuable thing you have to offer." - Randy Paush

    "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." - Dr. Seuss

    "Wherever you fly, you'll be best of the best. Wherever you go, you will top all the rest. Except when you don't. Because, sometimes you won't." - Dr. Seuss

    "So be sure when you step, step with care and great tact. And remember that life's A Great Balancing Act. Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left." - Dr. Seuss

    "I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what." - Atticus Finch

    "Illegitimi non carborundum."

    "A ship in port is safe but that's not what ships are built for." - Grace Murray Hopper

    "Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it's the courage to continue that counts." - Winston Churchill

    Thank you! I do not, but I just put it into the Google to check it out. Appears to be an online bible study? Looks really neat. Do you do it? I will have to investigate more when I get home later.
