Quotes that have influenced your life

Asked Jan 11, 2008, 10:19 AM — 1106 Answers
Hello all! I've been abundantly blessed by my virtual coffee chats with so many of you in this wonderful forum on Books and Literature! (The Relationship forum is fun too, but this is where inspiration comes from... "the stuff dreams are made of" )

Anyways... We all have favorite quotes, quotes that have touched a chord in our hearts and minds, quotes that have influenced our decisions, inspired us to go that extra mile, give us courage to face the day, and shown us what real living is like.

Lets share these divine inspirations with our little world here - on this little posting. I'll start with one of my all-time favorites....

Being a star-gazer myself and being the proud owner of a tempestuous personal history, this is one of my favorites - it reminds me that no matter what is swirling around me at a given time, I can get through it.

"The most tempestuous wind cannot disturb the quiet of the stars."

Literary wishes and Shakespearean dreams,
HistorianChick

I have pneumonia, been in the hospital, still have it and been on four anti's plus nebulizer meds so I feel I am in a fog..............this quote was so appropriate but maybe only for me but wanted to share, hoping to make someone smile!
Really? I've just now gotten over (well, still getting over) acute bronchitis and walking pneumonia. NO FUN! I hate the nebulizer meds! I'm on my fourth anti, as well. Haven't been on here much, but will be back soon! Take care, Rebbie - get a lot of rest.

Oh bless your heart HC! You take care also and get rest. Hard to do when we cough so much! Those nebulizer meds were going to be the death of me I decided. LOL {{{{Shaky}}}} Thanks for the well wishes and I wish you good health and speedy recovery as well.

Children give you a new outlook on life. The sky seems bluer, the sun is more beautiful. Even a butterfly will bring enchantment to you if you see them through the eyes of a child. >>>me

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.

One's first love is always perfect until one meets one's second love.

Life is something that happens when you can't get to sleep.

You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.

There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?

Karate is a form of martial arts in which people who have had years and years of training can, using only their hands and feet, make some of the worst movies in the history of the world.

What do you get when you cross the Godfather with a lawyer?
An offer you can't understand.
