Quotes

I have to pay homeage to Pitt's new Sigma Delta Tau website for thinking about this, but most of us have a few quotes that we like and/or use for one reason or another. One from that site that I particularly liked is:

"I believe in pink. I believe laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing; kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles." - Audrey Hepburn

One with which I was raised is often attributed online to Mohammed Ali, yet it was in a Baptist missions booklet in 1955(?):

"Service to others is the rent you pay (to God) for the space you occupy on earth." - Albert Schweizer


Anyone else?

"Nothing great is ever achieved without much enduring." -St. Catherine of Sienna

"...but we are not created for comfort, but for greatness, for good." -Pope Benedict XVI

I just realized when I went to post this that all of my favorite quotes are religious...I blame Catholic School.

Its funny because that quote was on my radar long before I knew there was such a thing as Theta Phi Alpha (or Delta Chi, for that matter). I actually have it framed on my nightstand!

"In my mind, a half-hearted commitment is worse than no commitment at all." - Lou Holtz

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"...being true to yourself never goes out of style!" Legally Blonde The Musical

"Look up, get up, and don't ever give up." - Michael Irvin (in his Hall of Fame induction speech)

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

Remember: amateurs built the ark ... professionals built the Titanic. (unknown)

In honor of a very special man who means a lot to me and many other Penn Staters, I want to share some Joe Paterno quotes:

"Its the name on the front of the jersey that matters most, not the one on the back." (in regards to Penn State not having names on the back of the football jerseys)

"Besides pride, loyalty, discipline, heart, and mind, confidence is the key to all the locks."

I know, right! I wish there was a "like" button on here! I actually went as far as sending another GCer a private message to tell her that I really liked her thread and thought it was a great idea. I think this is a great thread!

Nittanygirl, I Love-Love-Love that quote! I say it to all my Buckeye Alum friends!!! It makes me laugh! I love JoePa and he is Penn State! Here's another quote for you that makes me smile (and you too, probably).
