Share your favorite quote. This isn't exact but: "A man who doesn't believe in truth gets mad when you steal his orange." C.S. Lewis

"I believe that everything that you do bad comes back to you. So everything that I do that's bad, I'm going to suffer from it. But in my mind, I believe what I'm doing is right. So I feel like I'm going to heaven." Tupac Shakur

Re: Favorite quote?
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." and, although this next one may not be an exact one "A fanatic is one who grows more desperate with each defeat." Both, I believe, are from Georges Santayana.

Re: Favorite quote?
These are from Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers Neighborhood):
I believe that appreciation is a holy thing, that when we look for what's best in the person we happen to be with at the moment, we're doing what God does; so in appreciating our neighbor, we're participating in something truly sacred.
Our world hangs like a magnificent jewel in the vastness of space. Every one of us is a part of that jewel. A facet of that jewel. And in the perspective of infinity, our differences are infinitesimal.

Re: Favorite quote?
Dance like nobody's watching;
Love like you've never been hurt.
Sing like nobody's listening
Live like it's heaven on earth.
~Mark Twain~
It's a Dance thing, you wouldn't understand!
~Mark Quirimit~
(Can you tell that I love to dance?  )
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,
shouting "WOW...What a ride!!"
~Not sure~

Re: Favorite quote?
JFK- Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.
This works as well while praying to our Lord with a few word changes.

Re: Favorite quote?
These are actually two different versions of the same quote by James Cagney.
Learn your lines, find your mark, look 'em in the eye and tell 'em the truth.
Learn your lines ... plant your feet ... look the other actor in the eye ... say the words ... mean them.

Re: Favorite quote?
This is more of a quatrain from Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyyat that I recall:
"The moving hand writes/ and, having writ, moves on./Nor all thy laughter nor thy mirth can lure it back to cancel half a line/ nor all thy tears wash out a single word of it.
Thought provoking, isn't it?

Re: Favorite quote?
From TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT staring Humphry Bogart and Lauren Bacall
Slim: You know you don't have to act with me, Steve. You don't have to say anything, and you don't have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and... blow.
