Quotes that have influenced your life

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

People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it’s true, or because they are afraid it might be true.

Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.

A friend is someone who helps you up when you're down, and if they can't, they lay down beside you and listen.

It's not hard to find the truth. What is hard is not to run away from it once you have found it.

A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.

For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God; your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Don't sell yourself short. Revel in your moments. Let each moment shine as a spectrum of color, imprinting its rainbow rays on your life.... Live in each breath, don't worry about the next, but truly revel in your todays. Find the key to momentary living in your own personal way.
~A HistorianChick original~

Yes, its my signature, but I've learned to live this.... and thats what this thread is for - those quotes that have influenced your life.

Sometimes, I need my own advice.

This is my favourite ever, but has left me few friends.

I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art."
