To think this is the best quote ever?

[Cillia]

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

I think it’s great for people who regret things, etc.

Saw it at the end of that film in cinemas.

Thought it was great

[MyBabyIsAWerewolfAhwooooo]

What if today is shit?

[UnFuckingAcceptable]

Took the words out of my mouth my baby
Today was awful for me. If that was the first day of the rest of my life I'd feel pretty fucking hopeless. Day before was better!

[Cillia]

I have no idea.

[LolaTheDarkerdestroyer]

That’s old. And shit.

[Insomnibrat]

I've tried living by that mantra before but I always forget sentiment by lunchtime! cynical

My favourite quote is probably this:

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..."
Jack Kerouac

[Cavender]

It’s only a good quote if your life so far has been unsuccessful or unfulfilling.

[LonginesPrime]

But Cavender, if your life has been successful and fulfilling, why would you be looking for inspirational quotes?

No offence, OP - I actually like the phrase and think it’s a great way of drawing a line under past experiences and letting go!

[steff13]

You just saw it at the end of a movie? That quote is like 60 years old.

[HeartsTrumpDiamonds]

My favourite is

Time has a funny way of passing.

Also

There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing.

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

I like that saying op.

[Pivoine]

Um what? Is this the 80s. Maybe even the 70s? Confused.

[LonginesPrime]

My mother has a fancy handwritten wooden thing hanging up in her study that says ‘life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain’.

I think she thought the gentleman at the craft fair who sold it to her had invented the saying and is incredibly clever and philosophical for someone sat in the corner of a village hall in the middle of nowhere selling his wares.

I think he’s incredibly clever for selling pierces of useless wood to unsuspecting passers by who love silly platitudes for £30 each.

[Cavender]

Longines you can still be inspired even if you are already happy!

(Although personally I’m not sure Dederich is a great source of inspiration.)


Besides which, I was replying to the thread title “best quote ever”.

It might of course be the OP’s favourite quotation which is fine.

[Skippingabeat]

My best quote for letting go is "chuck it in the fuck-it bucket and move on".
It has really changed my perspective on a lot of things.

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

Yesterday is History
Tommorow is a Mystery
Today is a gift. That's why its called the present.

I am Awwlook or Baby spider and there's no one in the world like me.

[Elllicam]

I like the quote too OP.

[HidingBehindTheWallpaper]

I like:

Remember, every corpse on Mount Everest was once a highly motivated individual.

[CaoNiMwahaha]

* Remember, every corpse on Mount Everest was once a highly motivated individual.*

[CaoNiMwahaha]

^ that makes me feel utterly hopeless!

[fullofhope03]

It's an oldie but a goodie OP

I like "Men are just children with credit cards"

Remember, every corpse on Mount Everest was once a highly motivated individual
That has to be the most demotivating quote ever!

My fave on here so far, "The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..."

If at first you don't succeed try and try again.....and again.....and again....and again lol

[always2ndbest]

Love many, trust few. Always paddle your own canoe.

And

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

[sayyouwill]

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

I actually live nearly every aspect of my life like this. Means I'm hardly ever disappointed but often pleasantly surprised

[coconutwater1]

''If in doubt, dont''

Stuck by this one as long as I can remember

[justkeeponsmiling]

Best quotes for me are:

"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about live: it goes on" (Robert Frost)

"Every minute of your life is another chance to turn it all around" (from Vanilla Sky)
