Quotes that have influenced your life

HistorianChick · Jan 11, 2008, 09:19 AM

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

As my Father-in-law raised his cold can of beer....he would say, "If God made anything better then this, he sure kept it to himself"

LOL Drinking beer doesn't make you fat, It makes you lean....Against bars, tables, chairs, and poles! Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut. lol

My Father in Law had so many - most are not printable

. They weren't too fresh, but nevertheless, naughty.

"Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." -- Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989

this was a quote from the Little Prince. it may be very simple but it made an impact on me as a child and I have held on to it even as an adult:

"What is essential is invisible to the eye."

"I am in a dress, I have gel in my hair, I haven't slept all night, I'm starved, AND I'm armed! Don't MESS with me!"

Yup, one of THOSE days!
