Wasn't completely sure where I should put this.
I was wondering what are some quotes that you should live by. My favorite is: So many people in life will tell you that you can't. What you need to do is turn around and say "Watch Me"
Any more? :D
Thanks! :wave:

"Dance your problems out."-by me
GOD DOESN’T GIVE YOU THE PEOPLE YOU WANT, HE GIVES YOU THE PEOPLE YOU NEED. TO HELP YOU, TO HURT YOU, TO LEAVE YOU, TO LOVE YOU AND TO MAKE YOU THE PERSON YOU WERE MEANT TO BE.

"Revel in the Chaos"
Life is chaotic, lets face it. None of us know for sure what is going to happen tomorrow or even in the next couple of hours. Nothing is guaranteed, there are no absolute promises. Murphy's Law states that anything that can go wrong, will. We can fight this, try to organize our lives as much as possible to gain full control, but that is an impossible task that many waste away attempting. So rather then wasting what little time we have here on the Earth attempting to control the Chaos, learn to thrive in it. To roll with the punches, and adapt to the surprises life throws at you. Enjoy every second as best you can, you never know which will be your last.
That my friends, is how you revel in the chaos.

"If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of." - Bruce Lee
"A day without laughter is a day wasted." - Charlie Chaplin
"Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that." - Norman Vincent Peale
"For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can’t readily accept the God formula, the big answers don’t remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." - Charles Bukowski
"It's alright to suck at stuff, man. Sucking at stuff is the first step to being sort of good at stuff." - Jake The Dog
"Life is about doing things that don't suck with people who don't suck" - John Green
"In your life, you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some you wish you never had to think about again. But you do." - C.S. Lewis
"It really troubles me when people use academic achievement as a means of measuring intelligence. You’re basically saying that somebody who is able to successfully jump through hoops and be submissive to authority is the height of intelligence, rather than looking at somebody’s capacity to think independently and creatively. I think that you can tell a lot more about somebody’s level of intelligence by sitting down with them and having a five minute conversation rather than looking at some letters on a piece of paper which, essentially, are meaningless."
"Courage is confused with picking up arms and cowardice is confused with laying them down." - Mitch Albom
"The world is changed by examples, not by opinions." - Paulo Coelho
"There is a universal truth we all have to face, whether we want to or not, everything eventually ends. As much as I’ve looked forward to this day, I’ve always disliked endings. Last day of summer, the final chapter of a great book, parting ways with a close friend. But endings are inevitable. Leaves fall. You close the book. You say goodbye. Today is one of those days for us. Today we say goodbye to everything that was familiar, everything that was comfortable. We’re moving on. But just because we’re leaving, and that hurts, there’s some people who are so much a part of us, they’ll be with us no matter what. They are our solid ground. Our North Star. And the small clear voices in our hearts that will be with us, always." - Alexis’ Graduation Speech, Castle
"Most importantly, if you can at all avoid it, don’t be normal. Strive, burn and do everything you can to avoid being the industry standard. Even the highest industry standard. Be greater than anything anyone else has ever dreamed of you. Don’t settle for pats on the back, salary increases, a nod-and-a-smile. Instead, rage against the tepidness of the mundane with every fiber of whatever makes you, you. Change this place."
Sorry that was so big, couldn't help myself :P
