Looking for suggestions on displaying some fav quotes

Thinking of framed prints, decals, murals..
Anything else?

Have spent a fair bit trying to find something online to do this.
Lots on Etsy, I know. But, thats part of the problem.

Any tried and tested recommendations?

Thank you

PS:
My fav quote, that I am hoping to display on a full wall Smile

Put lining paper on your wall , so that you only have to take the paper off when you are tired of it.

which may be sooner than you think.

'Don't mix cross ply and radial on the same axle'

Inspirational stuff!

I have a framed print of an Elizabeth Taylor quote that says 'pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick & pull yourself together'

It's on a picture wall with some other black & while prints! I like it!

It tends to be my response to any crisis! 🤣

"Live, laugh, love". j/k, don't do it.

My favourite is “this kitchen is made for dancing”.

Oh really… then why does it have a big island in the middle and you’ve omitted a disco ball?

The only one I've ever seen and liked was in a kitchen "Mangetout, Rodney, mangetout".

I miss the twigs and pebbly shit threads that used to go on here.

Take no notice of the posters who think quotes on walls are tacky - your house, your taste. Personally I think it's nice to see inspirational or funny quotes on display, where you will think about and appreciate them!

I would steer clear of stickers though. When dd was little I put allegedly non permanent sticky stuff on her walls and practically had to sand them off and re plaster.

I saw a rather ambiguous one a little while ago that said "Be the reason that somebody smiles today".

Does it mean by paying them a compliment or offering a kindness... or by accidentally running into a lamp post or getting soaked to the skin by a passing car driving through a huge puddle?!

I have a small antique blackboard (like a school slate) in my pantry and I use it to put up quotes or mark an occasion. At the moment it says "Mary Smith Sucks" Mary Smith is the woman dd1 is having difficulty with at work.

Scrawl 'I will kill again' in red and then cover with wallpaper for someone to find 👍🏼

I think if you want a quote on a wall, a sampler is the most tasteful way.
Painting it yourself on the wall might work, if you have some skills that way.

Cross-stitch is always a very elegant way to share personally-inspirational quotes with your valued visitors - you can order this darling little pattern from Etsy.

I've always been quite touched by "Eagles soar ever higher in the majestic lofty clouds; but at least hamsters never get sucked into jet engines".

Not generally keen, the only one I like is "life is short, lick the bowl." In a toilet, not a kitchen.

If at first you don't succeed, don't go skydiving.

Manners cost nothing.
I can't afford to take that chance.

I like the pp’s suggestions for crafting rather than writing directly onto walls - my contribution, given our shared experiences of the past few years:
