Thanks, they are fun. I get them from Smiley Central and create a button on my toolbar called Emoticons. Some people might not like it because it also includes 'mywebsearch' - which is spam to a lot of people. I have not had a problem with them so far, so I guess they are safe for my purposes at home.

"buddy the elf, whats your favorite color!?" - Will Farrell - Elf (sorry, not so inspirational, it always makes me laugh though)

Comedy is by far my favorite.

-I want to die peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather, not screaming, terrified, like his passengers.

-I'd kill for a Nobel Peace prize.

-If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

-Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

Here is some I recently found"When the world pushes you to your knees, your are in the perfect position to pray."

"Better to avoid the poison altogether than to try to heal from the damage it causes."

"If it is not truthful and not helpful, don't say it. If it is truthful and not helpful, don't say it. If it is not truthful and helpful, don't say it. If it is truthful and helpful, wait for the right time."

"The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken."

"Not wishy-washy, not up and down, don't zig and zag.
Be firm.
Walk straight."

"Don't seek anything other than contentment, because therein is the bliss and the comfort of your body. Then consider the case of a person who possesses the whole world, can he take with him in the grave more than cotton and a shroud?"

My favorite quote for now is from tammy faye "I dont wanna think of that right now. its just a waste of good brain space" that's what I'm going to tell my teachers when they ask a question or a lot of people. I just think its funny

An original by me:
" YOU LAUGH BECAUSE IM DIFFERENT, I LAUGH BECAUSE YOUR ALL THE SAME"

Hello nice girl:

I bargained for Life with a penny
And Life would pay no more,
However, I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store,

For Life is a just employer
He gives you whatever you ask,
But once you have set the wages
Why you must bear the task

I worked for a menials hire
Only to learn dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life
Life would have willingly paid.

That is just wrong... LOL sad but true for some people though!

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love." - Neil Gaiman

Never Stop Learning...

There is only one thing that I remember my 7th grade English teacher saying, and that was "We're never through." It has stuck with me to this day. It is so very true! It's not my most favorite quote, but it is one that I remember well. I am still trying to find my most favorite quote. It is around here somewhere...

The other thing that I do remember about him, was not something that he said, but something that happened. That was that one of my brother's friends decked the English teacher on one occasion.

If you are wondering what "decked" means, it means that someone got punched in the face and the person receiving the blow went to the floor.

The junior high school that I went to was just a bit rough!

"Let it go, Love you and Love your circumstances"

"My greatest skill has been to want but little." --Henry David Thoreau

Benn, what a great quote! "Was it helpful? Let us know, Rate the answer" Who is the source?

It isn't over till the fat lady sings.
Also
The most inspiring, amazing quote of all time
*drumrolls*
*dramatic music*
Yes, here it comes, the most inspiring, amazing, quote of all time, its coming soon, you'll be really inspired by this
*dramatic music*
*more drum rolls*
Ill tell you later ;)

Callllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll823
Tell already :)

Okay
*drum rolls*
*trumpets*
*cal opens a golden book, with the words "greatest quote of all time" written across the cover*
*light shines out from the book*
*the earth begins to shake*
Wwaaaaiaiiit!
*book snaps shut*
Why tell you, when I can keep you in suspense all day?
;p

Cal, I just notices the bear "claws" in yer sig...
Bwa, ha, ha, ha

Hahahahaha captainrich you're a funny one

I like your signature about long division... Capt

Why do you need an eraser for long division? :confused:

Or a pencil for that matter... :confused::confused:

Capuchin, not all of us can just look at equasions and have them magically be done my amazing science power!
(capuchins science power, pew pew! Rwarr! Lasers!)
Yes... anyways... hehe, well, at least your not failing maths :)

It's a metaphor... for getting it right the first time...

If you get it right first time, then you have learnt nothing.

"There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is in having lots to do and not doing it." - Mary Wilson Little
Capuchin that is so true!
Except it becomes pain later on! Lolz

It means you can't undo mistakes in life.

Way to go Cal.. Keep up the suspense.

When in a bad mood (yes.. little old me can be in bad moods) then one of my favorite quotes (and I don't know who from) used to be:

"Now, ask me if I care."

Unfortunately, I always cared, but I guess I just wanted to shock people with that verse.. probably because I was hurt at the time.

Oh.. the games people play never get old.

All ones we hear often. There are more, but I'm only allowed 6 images per post.

I still don't quite get it. You often can undo mistakes in life if you notice the mistake in time. Just like in math, you can undo the mistake if you realise it was a mistake before you hand in your homework :)

it means you can't undo mistakes in life.
Thank you, Cal and thank you, too, firm

Hehe, these aren't the ones the suspense are about, but little ones I came up with by myself (im just a little poetic)
If I had a life to give, id give my life for you

And, because I'm christian

No greater love than gods love, no greater gift than christs blood, no greater glory than the glory of god :)

Chery, I'll bet your cat purrs a lot!

Sorry for being obtuse. Bad mood recently.

Its okay capuchin, I'm willing to put up with you no matter your mood, because your intelligent and your actually a good person
And anyway, people put up with my moods :) (and jeeze, I can get moody! One minute I can be HAPPY! Next minute its ANGRY! Then its OMG KILL ME NOW! Then its HEHE HAPPY!)

What's wrong, Cap? Anything you want to scream about?

Yes plenty to scream about. Unfortunately screaming is not in my nature.

Sorry, I prefer dealing with things on my own mostly :)

Primal, brother!
Or, just a grumble...

Haha grumbling, now that I can do!

There you go! Hahaha!
I feel better for that!

Yes, grumble to us!

I just thought of a good signature. Lol. I'll set it up tonight

A funny thing happened last night while I was watching Animal Planet, they showed a capuchin and I was like "wait I know him"...

Capuchin was an answer on weakest link. I knew the answer immediately :$

I have 2...

1St: "When you step to the ledge of all the light you have left, and you take that first step into the darkness of the unknown, you might believe one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for you step upon, or you will learn how to fly."

2nd: As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more then once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old loved one did. You'll cry because time is passing to fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset and crying, is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. And always, I mean always tell the ones you love, that you love them before it's to late.
Life is to short to waste being upset and pissed off. Never have regrets!

I just thought of a good signature. lol. I'll set it up tonight
I can't wait to see this..

Not sure if others liked it, but I love this one! Got to write it down somewhere or something lolz!

Here's some good movie quotes from the movie "Parenthood"

-Tod: You know, Mrs. Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog, to drive a car - hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they'll let any butt-reaming be a father
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Grandma: You know, when I was nineteen, Grandpa took me on a roller coaster, Up, down, up, down. Oh, what a ride! I always wanted to go again. You know, it was just so interesting to me that a ride could make me so frightened, so scared, so sick, so excited, and so thrilled all together! Some didn't like it. They went on the merry-go-round. That just goes around. Nothing. I like the roller coaster. You get more out of it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Karen: I happen to LIKE the roller coaster, okay? As far as I'm concerned, your grandmother is brilliant.
Gil: Yeah if she's so brilliant why is she sitting in our NEIGHBOR'S CAR
