Quotable Quotes
« on: February 25, 2009, 11:44 AM »


They're called "Quotable Quotes", "Words on Marble" "Wisecracks" "Nuggets", etc. Some are motivating a la inspiring, others are downright funny. They could have been culled from speeches, written texts or other sources . . .

Let's face it . . . we all love quotes . . . I love me some quotes. I love to extract and read them. Over and over again.

I got the following from Andy Rooney , a man who has the gift of saying so much with so few words.
>
> I've learned,  That the best classroom in the world
> is at the feet
> of an elderly person.
>
> I've learned,  That when you're in love, it
> shows.
>
> I've learned,  That just one person saying to me,
> 'You've made my
> day!' makes my day.
>
> I've learned,  That having a child fall asleep in
> your arms is one
> of the most peaceful feelings in the world.
>
> I've learned,  That being kind is more important than
> being right.

> I've learned,  That you should never say no to a gift
> from a child.
>
> I've learned,  That I can always pray for someone
> when I don't have
> the strength to help him in some other way.
>
> I've learned,  That no matter how serious your life
> requires you to
> be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.
>
> I've learned,  That sometimes all a person needs is a
> hand to hold
> and a heart to understand.
>
> I've learned,  That simple walks with my father
> around the block on
> summer nights when I was a child did wonders for me as an
> adult.
>
> I've learned,  That life is like a roll of toilet
> paper. The closer
> it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
>
> I've learned,  . That we should be glad God
> doesn't give us
> everything we ask for.
>
> I've learned,  That money doesn't buy class.
>
> I've learned,  That it's those small daily
> happenings that make life
> so spectacular.
>
> I've learned,  That under everyone's hard shell is
> someone who wants
> to be appreciated and loved.
>
> I've learned,  That to ignore the facts does not
> change the facts.
>
> I've learned,  That when you plan to get even with
> someone, you are
> only letting that person continue to hurt you.
>
> I've learned,  That love, not time, heals all wounds.
>
> I've learned,  That the easiest way for me to grow as
> a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.
>
> I've learned,  That everyone you meet deserves to be
> greeted with a smile.
>
> I've learned,  That no one is perfect until you fall in
> love with them.
>
> I've learned,  That life is tough, but I'm
> tougher.
>
> I've learned,  That opportunities are never lost;
> someone will take the ones you miss.
>
> I've learned,  That when you harbor bitterness,
> happiness will dock elsewhere.
>
> I've learned,  That I wish I could have told my Mom
> that I love her
> one more time before she passed away.
>
> I've learned,  That one should keep his words both
> soft and tender,
> because tomorrow he may have to eat them.
>
> I've learned,  That a smile is an inexpensive way to
> improve your looks.
>
> I've learned,  That when your newly born grandchild
> holds your
> little finger in his little fist, that you're hooked

LESSONS I’VE LEARNT IN LIFE


I’ve learned that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive
them for that.

I've learned that true friendship continues to grow, even over misunderstanding. The same goes for true love.

I've learned that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for a long time,

I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be
something else to take its place.

I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I've learned that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do love each other.

I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I've learned that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.

I’ve learned that you shouldn’t be so fast to find fault in others because; you could be at fault yourself

I've learned that two people can look at the same thing and see something totally different.

I've learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

I've learned that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you you will still find the strength to help.

I've learned that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

I've learned that the people you care about most in life are sometimes taken from you too soon.

I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I've learned that you can keep going long after you can't.

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I've learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I've learned that sometimes the people you expect to pick you up when you're down may be the ones to pull you down.

I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you.

I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them, and less to do with how many years you have lived.

I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I like quotes too, got a couple here:

- Never judge someone on the basis of what you can see; the absence of evidence is not an evidence of absence - Samuel L. Jackson.

- Behind every successful man is a woman who believes that there is a woman behind every successful man. (can't remeber where i read that)

- There are opportunities everywhere; the only problem is that they are dressed in coveralls and look like work.

And my personal favorite: Don't be greedy, half a loaf is better than chin-chin!

The secret to productive goal setting is establishing clearly defined
        goals, writing them down and then focusing on them several
        times a day with words and emotions as if we've already
        achieved them.
