Not all who wander are lost.

J.R.R. Tolkien

I've lived in let's see.......13 places in 17 years.

Maine, Michigan, South Korea, Georgia and Alabama.

And soon will be moving to.......God only knows where He will have me go next.

Whichever way the wind blows me, I guess.

2nd Favorite

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle.

Some days, I wish He didn't trust me so much.

Mother Theresa

ROFL!!!

Sooooo true.

Did I hear an "Amen" on #2?

Hey, Spooky,

Just because you claim to be an athiest doesn't mean you can't or don't know how to love.

Nothing strange at all for you to like a Christian quote.

We're good people too, after all.

Peace.

Answer 2

Quotes are like cookies, chips, songs, books, movies, authors, chocolates (have I left any goodies out?). You can't have _one_ favorite!

"Discipline is remembering what you want." ~ Unknown

"Time flies. Go see where it went." ~ Maxine (Hallmark)

"Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana." ~ Groucho Marx, I believe....

"Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart." ~ Unknown

"A man convinced against his will Is of the same opinion still." - German Proverb

"I learned this, at least by experiment,

that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams,

and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined,

he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.



He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundry;

new, universal, and more liberal laws

will begin to establish themselves around and within him;

or the old laws will be expanded,

and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense,

and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings.



In proportion as he simplifies his life,

the laws of the universe will appear less complex,

and solitude will not be solitude,

nor poverty poverty,

nor weakness weakness.

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost,

that is where they should be.

Now put foundations under them." ~ Henry David Thoreau, Walden

He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God.
Ecclesiastes 3:11-13

As a father pities his children,
So the LORD pities those who fear Him.
For He knows our frame;
He remembers that we are dust.
Psalm 103:13-14

Answer 3

Ouch! I have a fetish for quotes. I confess I have notebooks filled with them because I write down the ones I really like. I cannot narrow it down to just one, and since I know you are a kind man I will share two that I love. This first one came to mind when I thought about you and how nice it is to make new friends:

C.S. Lewis: "Friendship is born at the moment when one man says to another, 'What! You too? I thought that no one but myself...'"


The second one is because I love to read and to write:

Oswald Chambers: "The author who benefits you most is not the one who tells you something you did not know before, but the one who gives expression to the truth that has been dumbly struggling in you for utterance."

And now will you share your favorite quote? Please?

Answer 4

Life's Lovely! Love & Live Life!
To really understand life, it's goodness, it's joys, to enjoy life without marring it's beauty, its loveliness, by living life to fullest without running over another's space, because that would deface the lovliness. The sorrows are there, but there is a good amount of learnings even in them which will make life even better, enrich it further so that we pass out of this life, we can look back and say that "I have lived and let live, I have loved and been loved, I have created, not destroyed, I have cared, not hated or shunned the tasks set out for me..." (getting to be a sermon my Answer is)

Answer 5

"Life is a journey, not a destination." I don't know who said it, but I think this is very wise. Many people struggle so hard for the ultimate goal in their life, and until they reach that goal, they aren't happy. They treat life like it's a destination.

But those who treat life as a journey will be grateful for their downfalls and their mistakes and everything else life throws at them. They'll go to college not to get a better job, but to enjoy learning new things. Granted, these people are a minority, and many others would call them fools, but I think they are the wisest of all.

Blessed be.

Answer 6

"Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you."

~my dad
(I have no idea if he got it from somewhere else, and even if he did, I'd rather just give him the credit)

It has a few different meanings to me. 1. You can't always win. 2. You can't always have what you want. 3. Sometimes good things happen, sometimes bad things, just gotta deal with it and move on. 4. Don't take life too seriously. 5. Stress is pointless.
(ok, so some of them overlap)

Am I reading too much into a simple quote? =)

Answer 7

Although I am not a big fan of Nittzsche, I like his quote, which i don't know word for word but it's something like "Anything that makes one take pride of is not authentic, true" By "anything" he meant character traits, like kindness, politeness, or intellect. If someone is proud of something like this, there is indeed not much to be proud of. When you have something for real, the quality/ability is just in you, it doesn't make you prideful, make you want to boast... Have you noticed that really kind, polite, intellectual people never boast, or show off?
Second quote that i remember right now and like is "Surprising weak minds is not a pastime of mine" It's kind of mean, i have never said it, only thought :)

Answer 8

"did you recognize they took my gall bladder out? that's sitting interior the hospital in a jar! that the position they maintain them i guess..." it really is from the action picture Fried eco-friendly Tomatoes, a quote through miss Ninny Threadgoode. :) how extraordinary is it that that man or woman precise above me has a quote from a movie with "Tomatoes" in that topic? i did not imagine video clips about tomatoes were that common! haha!
