Best Quote Ever Wrote

Tell me, if you would, the best quote, bromide, or aphorism you've heard, wrote, or encountered that more...is meaningful for you.

Mine is: "And yet if every desire were satisfied as soon as it arose how would men occupy their lives, how would they pass the time? Imagine this race transported to a Utopia where everything grows of it's own accord and turkeys fly around ready-roasted, where lovers find one another without any delay and keep one another without any difficulty: in such a place some men would die of boredom or hang themselves, some would fight and kill one another; and thus they would create for themselves more suffering than nature inflicts on them as it is."--Arthur Schopenhauer

"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation....But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things....When we consider what is the chief end of man, and what are the true necessaries and means of life, it appears as if men had deliberately chosen the common mode of living because they preferred it to any other. Yet they honestly think there is no choice left. But alert and healthy natures remember that the sun rose clear. It is never too late to give up our prejudices" - HDT

actually I have two...one I read some where and the other is my own. First the one I read somewhere.....In order to be old and wise, one must first be young and foolish, and damn do I have that requirement covered...hahahaha

the second is my own personal motto...If you can't leave'm laugh'n....keep'm guess'n ;-)

I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who make things beautiful. Amor fati: let that be my love henceforth! I do not want to wage war against what is ugly. I do not want to accuse; I do not even want to accuse those who accuse. Looking away shall be my only negation. And all in all and on the whole: some day I wish to be only a Yes-sayer- Friedrich Nietzsche

I beg youTo have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in very foreign language. Dont search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer -Rainer Maria Rilke
