"You must be the change you want to see in the world." -M. Gandhi I love this quote because it's so empowering, it really makes it seem that one person can make a difference in this world. Plus, Gandhi was a great peacemaker and humanitarian.

"Love, known to the person by whom it is inspired, becomes more bearable." - Jean-Jacques Rousseau's "The Confessions

This one I DO agree with, but many people may not:
"Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation, and conversation must have a common basis, and between two people of widely different culture the only common basis possible is the lowest level."

Life is like a dance.
-Unknown
Life has twists and turns or struggles that may get you off track. Life gives you things to work with just like a dance has certain moves you can put together. Life is best when you have your soulmate with you. You've got to keep on your toes for new oppurtunities just like in a dance. Both a dance and life serve a purpose. Like a dance, life ultimately ends.

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
I memorized it when I was about 10, and it always pops into my head when I'm nervous about a new situation. It's rather comforting.

my fav is one my mum says quite often but it's not originally in english. It translates to:
- Earn little, eat little.
In other words don't be greedy or live above your means.

May the force be with you --sounds a whole lot better than 'Have a nice day.'

He who "angers you" controls you.
Just seems to make sense, and a good realization to get self control back.
