Everyday you hear different quotes, either on television, the net, the radio, or by other people. Which quote, either famous or one you have made up, do you consider being the one that fits you the best? I am helping a friend do this survey for an assignment, so please tell if/how it affects you. Thank you!

"Carpe Diem." Its Latin for "Seize the day." I think too many people take life for granted and don't take the time to make the most out of it.

I have a few:
-"I find television very educational. Every time someone switches it on I go into another room and read a good book." -Groucho Marx
-"Room service? Send up a larger room." -Groucho Marx
-"One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I'll never know." -Groucho Marx
They are all from one of my favorite comedians, Groucho Marx of the Marx Brothers, and they are very clever, like me. The first one applies to the fact that I would rather read a book than watch TV. The second, I have never lived in a big room. And the third . . . well it is just my favorite quote of all times . . . it is random and so is life, I guess.

Be true to yourself- it's all ya got. Means that the one person you can depend on in the end is yourself. - - - - Janis Joplin- - -
What it means to me is that sometimes the only person you can depend on is yourself. Many times that is the truth. Friends come and friends go but you will always have yourself....

"Practice makes perfect, but nobody's perfect, so why practice?"
~ Yes, it's good to practice, but you're never going to be absolutley perfect, so don't go crazy trying to reach perfection, just enjoy life and practice as little or as much as makes you happy.
