Favorite Life Quotes

[Desert Arabian]

As I am sitting here browsing Pet Talk and playing with Lucy, I am also thinking about some other silly things about my plans and upcoming events, etc- and for some reason it made me think of my favorite life quotes...quotes that are inspirational and have lots of impact. I thought it would be interesting if everyone shared their favorite life quotes.

My all time favorite life quote is
"Good things come to those who wait"
It has LOTS of meaning to me...

My second favorite quote is some cowboy wisdom
"Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any direction"

What are yours?!

It's not really a life quote, like some of the ones being posted, but, it's my favorite...it's in my signature..."The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong with the world." And, I believe that whole heartedly. It truly is what's wrong with the world.

Reading a book I HAD to read for College... I was bored to death but one quote in it struck me: "Some day we look look back on these pains with pleasure." and its true. No matter what we encounter in life, we look at the past and smile at overcoming it, and smile at knowing we are stronger to have survived it.

I also like "we never regret what we DID, so much as we regret what we DID NOT do."

[Flatcoatluver]
