Quote of the Day!

[DarkWarrioress]

Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances --
it was somebody's name, or he happened to be there
at the time, or it was so then, and another day would
have been otherwise. Strong men believe in cause and effect.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson​

Quote of the Day!


~ Finish each day and be done with it.

You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can.

Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. ~

Ralph Waldo Emerson
​

 

[The_Spectre]

Love long distance.

 

[DarkWarrioress]

All the great things are simple,
and many can be expressed in
a single word: freedom; justice;
honor; duty; mercy; hope.
- Sir Winston Churchill​

"Things will get thrown at you and things will hit you. Life’s no soft affair. It’s a long road you’ve started on: you can’t but expect to have slips and knocks and falls, and get tired, and openly wish – a lie – for death."

Seneca, Letters to Lucilius​

~We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.~
Orson Welles​

 

[Veroe]

For his upcoming birthday

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
~Martin Luther King, Jr~​

"Inside us there is something that has no name,

Never regret a day in your life. Good days give you happiness and bad days give you experience. Both are essential in life. All are God's blessings, have a great day.​

Sorry Yeishia, I do not know who said this...

"I am strong because I am weak. I am beautiful because I know my flaws. I am a lover because I am a fighter. I am fearless because I have been afraid. I am wise because I have been foolish. And I can laugh because I have known sadness."​

"I am strong because I am weak. I am beautiful because I know my flaws. I am a lover because I am a fighter. I am fearless because I have been afraid. I am wise because I have been foolish. And I can laugh because I have known sadness."​

It's a quote by Jetoraphy and may be related to Corinthians 2:12.. but I am not 100% sure.

You have no need to apologize Shy.

Yes I do ask that if you are able to please credit the source of each quote if you can, I of course I do realize that many are simply by unknown authors as for example Spectre's was.

I do however Google to see if I can find the source when ever I can as I did for you and Cheska, it is 2 minute job and my pleasure to do it as I love finding out who said what.

What I actively try and discourage here is people who post self-quotes as a form of grandstanding, or an attack on another Litszer . This happened a lot in this threads early days but rarely now thank goodness...

To thine own self be true.​

"To thine own self be true" is Polonius's last piece of advice to his son Laertes, who is in a hurry to get on the next boat to Paris ~ Shakespeare.​

You are correct Cheska but of course it had been paraphrased a lot since its bible days and now pops up almost everywhere as an unknown quote.

Lol it could have been said by me even.

Its most famous use was by Marilyn Munroe.
