Here's a few of my favorite quotes that I can think of at the moment... funny how many of them are from movies and books. :)

"All we have to decide, is what to do with the time that is given to us"
-Gandalf the Grey (J.R.R. Tolkien)
(Probably inspired by Voltaire)
"You have no control over the hand that life deals you, but how you play that hand is up to you."
-Voltaire

Many of my favorite quotes were said by Yoda... not sure who actually wrote the script...
"Do or Do Not, there is no try"
"Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter."

"If you can solve your problem, then what is the need of worrying? If you cannot solve it, then what is the use of worrying?" – Shantideva

"If you are not happy at this moment, for what moment are you waiting?"
-Not sure who said this, a friend of mine wrote a song to these words which she said was a quote from someone

"You will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it."
-John Adams

"If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed."
-Mark Twain

I made a quote it is " Good luck is bad luck in disguise" it means there is good in everything in every single bad situation there's good in it, so if a situation seems bad it's actually just Good luck is bad luck in disguise

And another on is(i made up to) " the disease, evil, has one cure it is to be kind to it, just like how water extinguishes fire"

Made the quotes when i was watching a drama series with my family.

The terms anxious and nervous can be switched with the term fear as they all are terms that define simply not choosing between flight or fight.

I have a quote that I live by! A good friend said it to me when I needed to hear it. :)

'' Everything is a risk, and it's up to you to decide whether that risk is worth it or not. ''

What a fantastic idea for a thread!! The quote you posted her4e and in Shay's thread is so spot on, and comforting.

One of my favourite quotes is " Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
We used that on our wedding programs, and that day truly took my breath away:)
I came to read this thread again and then i read your reply again and now i understand what the quote means.
