I thought it'd be cool to see everyone's favorite quote/ quote you live by. If it's from a song, tell what song. Here's mine:

Never give in, never give in. Never, never, never, never- in nothing, great or small, large or petty- never give except to convictions of honor and good sense.- Churchill

Oh, I have tons of favorite quotes xD Can't limit it down to just one sad.gif Here's a few I like that I can think of right now. May post again with a couple more...:

Pain is temporary, glory is forever -- Patrick Aanstoots (I think).

That one's actually part of a longer quote, though that's my more preferred part bluetongue.gif The whole thing is:

“Bones Heal
Chicks Dig Scars
Pain is Temporary
Glory is Forever”

... Last two lines are the best though ;D For truly... are not many of the hard things we have to go through, that at the time seem to cause unbearable pain, end up being far worth the cost in the end? Anyway. More quotes.

Well. Of course the two in my signature xD Otherwise, they wouldn't be in my signature! Especially:

“If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who swept well.”

I believe that one's Martin Luther King Jr. It's pretty cool too ;D

J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis both have some of my favorites too. One from Tolkien:

“Many who live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal death in judgment. For even the truly wise cannot see all ends.”

I think that's in Fellowship of the Ring, something Gandalf says about Gollum. I -think-. bluetongue.gif

And C.S. Lewis:

“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”

xD


.... I also really like the one in Kaiser's sig. The one by Albert Camus, I think...

“I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn't, than to live my life as if there is no God, and die to find out there is.”


... Yeah. That's all for now. I have to leave anyway... XD
