Do you have a favourite quote?

This is definitely mine!

I like Terry Pratchett's version of your Nan's quote
"million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.” 🤣🤣

My favourite quotes are already on this thread - and I've learned some new ones but I do like

“When you judge others, you do not define them, you define yourself”
― Earl Nightingale

It's a very good reminder!

My favourite has always been:
"All of us are in the gutter- some of us are looking at the stars"
Oscar Wilde

"Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose."

One of my favourites is

He's a wise man.

Not a quote "as such" but a friend just posted this on their FB (they have adopted children). I think it's lovely:

"You've received enough words to live by, go live by them"

Karma isnt a bitch..its an elephant and it never forgets.
From my new Harpers candle 😁

I have 4 favourite quotes. Is that OK? The last 2 are of course lesser known.

• "The past is a foreign country: They do things differently there". - LP Hartley.

• "She's just a girl and she's on fire, Hotter than a fantasy, lonely like a highway', She's living in a world and it's on fire, Filled with catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away" Girl on Fire - Alicia Keys.

• "If someone is doing something to you and it doesn't make you feel nice, stop doing it" - My late mother.

• "Virginity is a male created concept to control and belittle women" - My sister.

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

― Maya Angelou

The whole of Desiderata, but particularly the end:

'With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.'

When I need running motivation, a white I heard in my early days of trying to run has stayed with me;

'The body achieves what the mind believes'

The race is long and in the end, it's only with yourself. Baz Luhrmann Sunscreen

Lift your legs they'll fall themselves, old man who used to observe a group of us running

I love Baz Luhrman's "Sunscreen"

"Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind" .Absolutely true! I use it a lot.

A bird in the hand will shit on your wrist:

You don't have to see the full stair case to take the first step.

Ships are safe in the harbour, but that isn't what ships were made for.

Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

Just read this one
Don't trust everything you see, even salt looks like sugar

Love this one too.

It only drowns today of its joy

@Fentylipgloss I really love that.
