Inspirational Quotes

I have a habit of collecting quotes and phrases from things I read that inspire me, so I'd like to share some with you.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - Tao Te Ching

"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in otheres; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier becuse you have lived ... this is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." - Professor Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Aww, those are beautiful quotes. I like the first one especially.

"Remember Cedric. Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy that was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory." - Professor Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." -C.S. Lewis

"There is more to day than dawn. The sun is but a morning star." - Henry David Thoreau

So carry a thousand candles in your pocket
When you walk the moon
And swiftly swiftly tie a knot in the river
Before all the water's gone
And listen for my voice, if for no other
When you're all alone

lol It's okay.

He found himself wishing he had been more interested in things like role playing when he was a kid, that he had a place like the Middle Country when he still had the trick of immersive belief. Now he could only be a tourist. Like Wendy and her siblings growing up and losing Never-Never Land, he had gone beyond the point where he could get back, but he could still come close enough to feel something of loss. -Otherland Volume Three: Mountain of Black Glass

Real heroes were like the characters in that man Tolkien's story, who did what they had to even if they hated it, even if it took their own lives away from them. -Otherland Volume Three: Mountain of Black Glass

song lyrics from a favorite song of mine - "Better Days" by Goo Goo Dolls

And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

yep they re good... and about the song itself, is it good?

Yeah, "Better Days" is an awesome song. Here's another set of song lyrics from "Imagine" by John Lennon. Another one of my favorite songs.

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.
