What are your favourite sayings?

[Pris]

Please try (Do… or do not. There is no try. ~ Yoda) to limit them as best you can (I have a short attention span) -- just your favourites!

Please feel free to repeat those already mentioned if they are your favourites as well!

Here are some of mine:

Let this be your motto - Rely on yourself!
For, whether the prize be ribbon or throne,
The victor is he who can go it alone.
~ John Godfrey Saxe

Twixt the optimist and pessimist
The difference is droll:
The optimist sees the doughnut
But the pessimist sees the hole.
~ McLandburgh Wilson

All you need is love.
~ John Lennon

You are only given a little spark of madness.
You mustn’t lose it.
~ Robin Williams

I went nowhere and found nothing but imagination.
Imagination went nowhere and found nothing but me.
~ JoeEcho

Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.
~ sung by Kirk, McCoy, and Spock (yeah, I know, doesn’t really count! )

Don't take life too seriously. You'll never get out of it alive. - Elbert Hubbard

Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today - James Dean

Worrying is like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do, but doesn't get you anywhere. - Van Wilder

You don't stop playing because you grow old; you grow old because you stop playing. - Unknown

If you obey all the rules, you'll miss all the fun. - Katherine Hepburn

Problems cannot be solved by the level of awareness that created them - Albert Einstein

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result - Albert Einstein

Condemnation without investigation is the highest form of ignorance - Albert Einstein

You reminded me of something Bashar said:

Change is the only constant

[Kryztian]

I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief.

--- Gerry Spence

If you dare to take up the banner of enlightenment, you will be attacked from all sides. From the inside you will be attacked by your own mind and from the outside you will be attacked by everyone else's mind. Anyone who dares to succeed automatically presents a huge threat. If true freedom is going to survive within you, you have to be willing to fight for it. You have to have a sword in each hand at all times. One sword is for your own mind and the other sword is for everyone else's mind. You must be ready to use them. Anyone who wants to be truly free must be willing to stand alone in the truth.

--- Andrew Cohen

Nothing in this world, nothing, works the way you think it does. There's always more to the story.

-- Jordan Maxwell

The fewer the words , the more powerful the point ... recently I learned this one - Patience brings roses but first it brings buds ...

[Pris]

Those are great, JoeEcho!

I’d say, based on those quotes alone, you definitely have a fun-loving, youthful spirit!

Also:

Man running in front of car will get tired, man running behind car will get exhausted

Both of those hurt my head somewhat.

An oldie but a goodie.

How about this one:

When a man gives his opinion, he's a man. When a woman gives her opinion, she's a bitch.

FYI, I'd rather be a bitch any day.

Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see.

And my new favourite:

Then again, I like bad plumbing.

Albert Einstein to the art historian Aby Warburg:

It was especially interesting for me to see how little expenditure it requires to lead credulous humanity around by the nose.

The banker Felix Warburg to Albert Einstein:

Everything is relative except relatives, and they, alas, are constant.

It's so much more fun, isn't it?

You made me think of this one:

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
