What are your 2 favorite quotes and why do you like them?

Question

My 2 are:

"A Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt. He said, "I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one. The grandson asked him, Which wolf will win the fight in your heart? The grandfather answered, The one I feed."
Anonymous, As told in Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes


"The Question that makes me hazy, is it I or the others crazy"
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

The first one is one of my favorites because I feel that it describes human nature. That we actually have a choice of how we can be.

The second one because it relates well to me. I get the same feeling myself.

All of these are excellent quotes. I really like the variety of them and where the came from. Thanks everyone.

Answer 1

"Wear your learning like a pocketwatch. Do not take it out to count the hours, but give the time when asked"

Don't know who said it....was in my HS yearbook in 1983.

The other was "With every end comes a new beginning." same book

Answer 2

I have more than just one:

"Always Forward But Never Straight"

This one just sounds cool!

"Honesty is the best policy, but insanity is a better defense."

This ones just classical

"I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship"

Don't be afraid of something from which you can benifit in the long run.

"As long as you keep a person down, some part of you has to be down there to hold him down, so it means you cannot soar as you otherwise might."

If you set out to hold people back then you suceed in holding yourself down too and are in no way any better off than them, you'll be in exactly the same position they are.

"Today is the Tomorrow you were worried about Yesterday. Was it worth it?"

Dont stress to much about what the future is or will be and dont live in the past. Apreciate today for what it is and how it turns out.

Answer 3

My most best two quotes will be one from me and the other from a friend of mine.
1) The greatness of a man is not measured in his power or knowledge but how it is demonstrated in a way that is beneficial for his society. That was said my me.

2) If a man lose his respect he can never regain his dignity. Said by my best and only good classmate.

Answer 4

Only 2??? Hmm...

I like this one because it's one of the quotes I follow. I always try to do what is right and not what's easy. I want others to do the same.

I also follow this quote. To make a change you must be a good example.
