I have just seen a quote that I really like, and thought I would see what other people like.

They could be motivational, funny, thought provoking or anything else.

The one that got me thinking was

"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone"

Others that I like are

'You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf'.

Today's mighty oak is just yesterdays nut that held it's ground - David Icke

You cant cross a chasm in two small steps -David Lloyd George

Stop it, nobody likes a kiss-ass. (Donkey to Shrek)

"Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before... He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way."

"Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward."

“I might have made a tactical error in not going to a physician for 20 years. It was one of those phobias that really didn't pay off.”

I like walking because it is slow, and I suspect that the mind, like the feet, works at about three miles an hour. If this is so, then modern life is moving faster than the speed of thought, or thoughtfulness
