Quotes!!

These are some of the fav quotes. I have a long list actually, so will keep adding them here or maybe put them to other posts. Either way, you should be expecting a lot of them on this page :)


"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
-Marianne Williamson

"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog."
- Mark Twain (1835-1910)

“Sometimes you have to give up who your are to become who you can be.”
- Blaine Taylor

"If you're still in control, you're not going fast enough!"

"If the going is getting too easy, maybe you're going downhill!"

Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something."

"Now, now my good man, this is no time for making enemies."
- Voltaire (1694-1778) on his deathbed in response to a priest asking that he renounce Satan.

“An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while the pessimist sees only the red stoplight. The truly wise person is colorblind.”
— Albert Schweitzer

"Ships are safe in the harbor, but that's not what ships were made for."

Why sex is better than religion: There are laws against forcing sex on minors who can't think for themselves.

"Any fool can turn a blind eye to reality. It takes a special kind of idiot, though, to ignore a dream."

"Nothing is worth more than this day."
- Goethe

"In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
- Martin Luther King Jr.

"There's no such thing as strong coffee. Only weak people."
- Mike Walton

"They came for the communists, and I did not speak up because I wasn't a communist;
They came for the socialists, and I did not speak up because I was not a socialist;
They came for the union leaders, and I did not speak up because I wasn't a union leader;
They came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak up for me."
- Martin Niemöller, 1892-1984

You know you've spent too much time on the computer when you spill milk and the first thing you think is, 'edit, undo.'

"I do not want a plain box, I want a sarcophagus With tigery stripes, and a face on it Round as the moon, to stare up. I want to be looking at them when they come Picking among the dumb minerals, the roots. I see them already-the pale, star-distance faces. Now they are nothing, they are not even babies. I imagine them without fathers or mothers, like the first gods. They will wonder if I was important."
