Hello everyone! This thread is to put down quotes to live by. Everyone has a quote that they use so lets hear it. Maybe we could learn something to take with us through life. Here is a good one: God never shuts a door without opening another one. Live your life a quarter mile at a time. -UDZETA

MY EARPISM's:

Fu#& With Me and we have a problem

Do Unto those as You would have done to you!
Your Parents get Smarter the Maturer YOU GET!
Sh#t runs downhill and you are on the bottom of the food chain!
I have a tire Iron, well I have a 357 Mag dirt bag!
If wishes were Chiucken Sh&# I would have a Hen House Full!
In every life Rain Must Fall, But Damn you would think there is a silver lining on the Sh@# Wall some time!

Trust is like a building. It can take a long time to make, but seconds to blow.

"I dont wanna be a star, cuz stars fall"- Bernie Mack on Oprah

People dont become things, they always were...

"Blame is cuz we are who we are. Hate is cuz you'll never get that far."- Better Than Ezra

From MTV's "Real Life- I'm A Cheerleader"
Dunbar Cheeleader: "I believe that we can be the winner(mocking a pep speech from another teams coach)"."That wouldnt motivate me at all"
MTV: What would motivate you?
Dunbar Cheerleader: WE ARE WINNERS! (yells in the camaras face in serious tone)
Brings back swim team memories.

Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

He who laughs last, thinks slowest.

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some don't have film.

Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.

Nothing is fool proof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Lights travels faster than sound, this is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Well I've got one right now off the top of my head, so I'll post it and if I think of something else I'll edit this post, but for now...

"If there is a glimmer of hope in anything, you should support it" Krist Novoselic - Bassist of Nirvana

Of all the things that I have lost, I miss my mind the most.

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in. (LOL)

If you want to wake up with a smile on your face, go to bed with a coat hanger in your mouth.

My personal fav was said by one of Oprah's assistants-

"LOVE is BELIEVING in someone until they can BELIEVE in THEMSELVES"

no one ever says 'it's only a game' when their team is winning

everytime i walk into a bar i can hear my mother's wise words "don't pick that up, you don't know where it's been"

once in awhile you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right

Remember what you do have....Forget about what you don't.

I think it may have been Steven Stills who wrote, "And we never failed to fail, it was the easiest thing to do." -the Southern Cross

Then, as we used to say at a TV station I worked for, "If we were an airline, we'd kill people."

"Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs -- the Titanic was built by professionals."

I'll think of more.

don't sweat the petty things... and don't pet the sweaty things.

My two favorite lines are from Dave Matthews Band songs:

"Its not where you are, but who are you with that really matter."
and
"What I want is what I have not got, but what i need is all around me"

The other is an often used one that i love

"Work like you don't need the money
Dance like no one is watching
Sing like no one is listening
And love like you have never been hurt"

The others are from the simpsons:
"My mommy said my nose wouldn't bleed as much if I just kept my finger out of there"
"Bart no beer, beer is only for adults and those with fake ids"
"Alcohol is the both the solution and the cause for every thing"

"Never trust anyone 100%, if you don't trust, you can't be betrayed"

"Time heals all wounds...is bullshit...it merely lets you forget, until you remember."

"You can't fix a broken heart, only mend it, because if you can heal it, and move on, and truly forget the pain... you weren't in love, only thought ya were."

"Beleiving in luck is what separates the winners from the losers. The losers wait around for something good while the winners get out there and make dreams happen."

"If you have a hunch someone is doing you wrong, go with it, your instincts are usually right."

"The only innocent thing in this world is a baby's first glance at its mother. After that, it's all downhill, as sight has a way of blinding a person."

"If you have any doubt, don't even think of saying I do, because things just don't fix themselves and neither do people."

"People think the right thing to do is be nice to each other, try and help each other out, well, the fact is, we all look out for number one cause we were born alone, and we'll die alone, no need to try to make everyone important or make every individual have worth, because not everyone is meaningful, not everyone deserves to be. In fact, a majority of people around you are oblivious to your individual existence and wouldn't think twice about taking you out if it meant they would live. We are in no way civilized, we just create laws and society to keep ourselves entertained."

"Whether you are a king or a beggar, saint or sinner, virgin or whore, man or woman...we all eat, shit, reproduce, sleep, laugh, cry and then we die, the same way and we turn to dust the same way too. No you are not special, no there are no predestined plans for you. You can be anything you want, or you can choose to be nothing. Choice is the only thing we can ever own, as we always have a choice, even if it seems we don't, THERE IS ALWAYS CHOICE."

"Don't worry, be happy"

Some of these are mine, some are remembered from alcohol induced 4 am philosophy sessions in my college apartment, either way, plenty are useful.
