What is your favorite quote that you have seen or heard?

Question

Mine has to be something like "If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving defintly isn't for you." I forget who it is by, but thas just my favorite one ever =)

Answer 1

"There are two ways to study butterflies:
chase them with nets then inspect their
dead bodies, or sit quietly in a garden
and watch them dance among the flowers."

We come to love, not by finding
a perfect person
But by learning to see an imperfect
person perfectly.

It would be great if no one
ever got mad at someone for doing
something they’ve done themselves.

The first one I like because it is so symbolic to me of my career and what occupational therapy is all about--we look at the whole person not just at their parts as a doctor often does. The second one is just nicely stated. And I like the third one because I often do that and when I think of this quote it helps me to be less hypocritical and a better person.

Answer 4

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
