Your Favourite Quote

[Julian]

I'm just curious. Which person inspired you? Which words had an impact on your life?

For me it was when I read T. S. Eliot's Four Quartets: 

"We shall not cease from exploration, and at the end of all our exploration will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time."

Thats just beautiful to me.

“When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened.” -Winston Churchill

[denselayman]

over they years i have heard other people's and discovered my own quotes of great value for my everpresent life and dealings with it, but one quote has remained very sharp and clear with me, guess it is only one that made most sense and was of value. i dunno who was the person that was noted for it. but it goes something like this: ''when wind blows in your sails, take the chance and explore the world, when wind does not blow, take the opportunity and clean your ship''

it resonates with me as strongly now as it did back then when i came across upon it =]

"It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees"

We must transcend these programmings and limitations we built for ourselves and take full control and independence and overcome fear and carve the world out in our image rather than sit complacent.

No single quote in particular really resonates with me strongly. However, what I'm focused on now is:

"We are creatures of habit".

Not sure who said it, but I've come to realize our lives are basically a sum of all our habits because we have little control over what we do most of the time. That's my experience at least. I may be at a lower level than some here. Working on it!
