Quotes
 

Any one have any good quotes to share?

Here are a few of my favourites:

"we're here for a good time, not a long time"

"be kinder than necissary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle"

"if you don't love me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best"

:D

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

I'm pretty sure it's Albert Einstein. I LOVE this quote.

"We can learn patient from the unpatient, kindness from the unkind and truth from the untruthful. All we have to do is be aware of our teachers."

This one's a bit raunchy so I redacted it:

"... I'm not going to buy into a f---ing diet that says, you know what, you can eat three burgers and a pound of bacon, but you can't have an apple because the apple has carbs. . . . You don't have to adhere to an idealistic vision of beauty marketed by fashion magazines and negatively reinforced by a society dumb enough to believe that beauty only appears on the cover of a magazine. F--- them all!" -the Fat-kins squirrel

Not about dieting...but I still love it: :)

"Life is too short to sleep on low thread-count sheets." ~Leah Stussy

"The man who removes a mountain, begins by carrying away small stones."

"In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins - not through strength but by perseverance."
-H. Jackson Brown

"Every man is a divinity in disguise, a God playing the fool"

And also, one of my favs

"Nature hates calculators"

Good thread!! I want to hear more quotes!!!

love that one! I'll have to try to remember some to post.

"No matter where you go, there you are."




I never understood this one when I first heard it (in an obscure flick from the 80's). But, it's amazing the shades of meaning it has taken on as I've matured. :)

Absolutely love it!!! lol

I love motivating quotes and I have a little notepad of the best ones. Here are my faves:


"Your body doesn't know the difference between Sunday and the rest of the week"

And finally:

"Don't make someone a priority if they are only willing to make you an option."

"Success isn't a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire."

"Time you enjoyed wasting wasn't wasted time." -John Lennon

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."

"True friendship isn't about being there when it's convenient, it's about being there when it's not."

No diet will remove all the fat from your body because the brain is entirely fat. Without a brain, you might look good, but all you could do is run for public office. ~George Bernard Shaw

:rofl:

I LOVE this!

-You don't have to love me or even like me but you have to accept me exactly the way I am because i'm not changing.

OH that is priceless :rofl:

One of my favorites is the one that is also in my sig (and was in my avatar before I changed it to my current pic):

"It is never too late to be what you might have been." --George Eliot.

I LOVE this quote and I find it so inspiring because I have been overweight my whole life and it always frustrates me to think of all of the experiences I've already missed out on because of my weight, especially the romantic stuff--I never dated in high school, have never known what it feels like to be pursued by a guy, never got to have the thrill of my first boyfriend, first date, first kiss, etc. So it's easy to think Well, it's too late for all of those things, so even bother to lose weight? I can never get those years back. But really, it's NOT too late. Heck, if I work hard enough, I might even get to know what it's like to be an average-sized girl while I'm still in college, and god knows there are lots of experiences to be had there! ;) Hehe. But even later in life... At ANY point, it's never too late to become the person that you want to be. That's something that I definitely need to remind myself of every once in a while. I've always been a fat girl, but it's never too late for me to become an average girl (or even... a thin girl? :eek:)!

Okay, so I know this thread is a couple days old, but I just had to add to it, I love quotes and song lyrics.

"Imagine" - John Lennon (I personally find the imagination is the most vital part of human existence)

"Box blondes have less fun" - Fall Out Boy (I bleach and dye my hair all the time :P It's more about just be who you are. If you're so concerned about how you look all the time you miss a lot of great fun)

"I never wanted to be different, I just wanted to be me" - BME slogan.

"A great way for you to lose weight is to eat naked in front of a mirror. Restaurants will almost always throw you out before you can eat too much." — Frank Varano.


I have a bunch more, I'll add them after I've assembled them.
