I Love These Sayings

1) Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If it isn't there when you need it the most, chances are you won't be needing it again...

2) Give the world the best you have and the best will come to you.

3) Love wasn't put in your heart to stay, because Love isn't Love until you give it away.

4) Don't say you love me unless you really mean it, because I might do something crazy like believe it!

5) Everyone needs to be loved, especially when they do not deserve it.

6) Trouble is a part of your life, and if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you enough chance to love you enough.

7) Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance, or a stranger. :-)

8) Silence is one of the hardest arguments to refute.

9) It is a wondeful mythical law of nature, that the three things we crave for in our lives - Happiness, Freedom, and Peace of Mind - are always attained by giving them to someone else.

10) Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired. :-)

11) When in doubt, tell the truth.

12) We all agree on the necessity of compromise. We just can't agree on when it's necessary to compromise.

13) "The church is near, but the road is icy. The bar is far, but we will walk carefully."-- Russian Proverb

14) "I want to seize fate by the throat."-- Ludwig van Beethoven

15) "Any man who has $10,000 left when he dies is a failure."-- Errol Flynn

16) It takes less time to do things right than to explain why you did it wrong.

17) Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes. :-)

18) It’s a great feeling when someone finds comfort in you. I feel content.

19) Do not cry if the Sun sets at the end of the day, because the tears will not let you enjoy the beauty of the Stars.

20) Some people are so fond of ill luck that they run halfway to meet it.

21) A great many people think they are thinking when they are really rearranging their prejudices.

22) In everyone's life, at some point of time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful to those people who rekindle our inner spirit.

23) Don't wish it were easier, wish you were better.

24) The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.

25) Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

26) When I'm working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.

27) Speak when you are angry -- and you will make the best speech you'll ever regret.

28) The wise are instructed by reason; ordinary minds by experience; the stupid by necessity; and brutes by instinct.

29) Humor is a rubber sword - it allows you to make a point without drawing blood.

30) The argument from intimidation is a confession of intellectual impotence.

31) The thing I hate about an argument is that it always interrupts a discussion.

32) "A good friend can tell you what is the matter with you in a minute. He may not seem such a good friend after telling. " -- Brisbane

33) Hope is putting faith to work when doubting would be easier.

34) When everyone is against you, it means that you are absolutely wrong or absolutely right.

35) "Price is what you pay. Value is what you get." -- Warren Buffett

36) "Success is never owned; it is rented; and the rent is due every day." -- Rory Vaden

37) "To win without risk is to triumph without glory." -- Pierre Corneille

38) "When written in Chinese, the word crisis is composed of two characters - one represents danger, and the other represents opportunity." -- John F. Kennedy

39) "Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it." -- William Arthur Ward

40) "I can express no kinder sign of love, than this kind kiss". -- William Shakespeare in Henry VI (Act i, Sc.1)

41) Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more.

42) "A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave". -- Mohandas Gandhi.

43) "It is possible to give without loving, but it is impossible to love without giving". -- Richard Braunstein

44) I am not as cold as you think. I am not falling; I am just on the brink. I am floating between this world and the next. I don't know where to go, as long as I am who I know. As long as I have myself, I dont care. Say what you want, say what you will, say anything. It wont change how I feel. I used to be so cold, and then I woke up and realised, you ARE cold. You are the one who leaves me, with your breath upon the foggy window of my soul, writing message of hate, that burns its way into my heart. And now I am wiping them all away. Slowly, slowly, one by one. The rest will fade with the rain when it comes.

45) "Love demands all, and has a right to all". -- Beethoven

46) So long as a man remains free, he strives for nothing so incessantly and so painfully as to find someone to worship.

47) "True love is giving all you have to someone you know you're going to lose." -- Ray H Wall

48) "When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not with your brain." -- Mark Twain

49) Any fool can know. The point is to understand.

50) Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned at school.
