Some of my favorite quotes. Some I wrote, others have been accumulated over the years:
-
"Life can be defined by how many moments you spend breathing. Living can be defined by how many moments that took your breath away."
"Try to love every moment, even the painful and hard ones. The moments we have in life are so numbered and in the end they will seem so short. If you deal with this hard moment the right way and learn from it now, though it may be more painful, it'll save you some of those precious moments in the future"
"I wish my lawn was emo, then it would cut itself"
"It is not your greatest conquer that you will be remembered by - its your biggest mistake"
"People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder', I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that YOU are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves"
"I would rather have a mind opened by wonder, than one closed by belief"
"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power"
"Forming characters! Whose? Our own or others?-Both. And in that momentous fact lies the peril and responsibility of our existence"
"Charity is more than merely giving a dog a bone. Charity is sharing the bone, when you are just as hungry as the dog"
"The more rapidly a civilization progresses, the sooner it dies, making room for another to rise up in it's place"
"A true civilization is where every man gives to every other all of the same rights that he claims for himself"
"You can't say that civilization doesn't advance, for in every war, they kill you in a new way"
"The free thinking of one age and generation, is the common sense of the next"
"You've got to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through"
