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

"If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge."

Deepak Chopra

"It is good to be solitary, for solitude is difficult; that something is difficult must be a reason the more for us to do it"

" I hold this to be true the highest task for a bond between two people; that each partner protects the solitude of the other"

"Do not assume that she who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. Her life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that remains far beyond yours. Were it otherwise, she would never have been able to find these words."

Rainer Maria Rike quotes.

* I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it.

* Love others when they least deserve it. Because that's when they really need it.

* When your past love is still strapped on your heart ,don't start another love!

* The easiest way to not get hurt is to not care... But that's the hardest thing to do.

* Sometimes we should give our feeling wings and let it fly away!

* Choose always the way that seems the best, however rough it may be

Two secrets to keep your marriage brimming
1. Whenever you're wrong, admit it,
2. Whenever you're right, shut up.
