A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.

One is not born a woman, she becomes one.

Nobody can hurt your feelings without your permission.

I found this About 35 years ago and wrote it down. I have carried it in my wallet(s) ever since:

"There is nothing the rabble fear more than intelligence. If they understood what is truly terrifying, they would fear ignorance."

Goethe

That quote inspired me to go to college. I have a degree in psychology thanks to Goethe.

I am not sure if this is right topic to make this post in but if it is not can it be moved for me please??

Anyways I am a quote junkie.. I enjoy quotes and somethings feel short quotes can prove more powerful and motivating then then paragraphs and even chapters. Sometimes the least amount of words used the more it makes sense to me.

I spend a lot of time reading and reasearching all kind of things but quotes is one I do almost daily... So I figured I would start a thread here and add some of the more motivating and helpful ones I come across during my daily venture to find more that I can somehow relate to or find useful.. They hep sometimes pull through hard hours for me so hopefully they can others as well.. it is my hope at least...

I will add more from time to time but I am curious what quotes do ya'll find to be beneficial with dealing with lifes confusion and frustration? Feel free to share them

1. Not until we show our best side to all Living Species shall we know Peace Ourselves.

david tomkinson 1945

2. obstacles do no exist to be surrendered to only to be broken

3. Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival.

C. S. Lewis

4. You have to go through the rain to get to the rainbow

5. The only way to get the fruit is to go out on a limb

6. When you do things right, people won't be sure if you've done anything at all

7. Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates the holder and beholder.

8. The traveller's eye-view of men and women is not satisfying. A man might spend his life in trains and restaurants and know nothing of humanity at the end. To know, one must be an actor as well as a spectator.

9. You can have everything in life you want... if you'll just help enough people to get what they want.

Zig Zigiar

10. If you bribng forth what is within you,

what you bring forth will save you.

If you do not bring forth what is within you,

what you do not bring forth will destroy you

11. Any life is made up of a single moment, the moment in which a man finds out, once and for all, who he is.

Jorge Luis Borges

12. It is in the darkest hours, the eyes can begin to see.

13. Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Dr. Seuss

14. Those who say something can't be done are nto qualified to interfere with those who are doing it.

15. Resentment is the same as swallowing posion and expecting the other person to be the one to to suffer the violent death... it doesnt work..

Hiya Jabb,

Dunno who said this but I kinda like it and I feel it is relevant to our community, imho.

What we achieve in life echoes through eternity. Luv, Viv

live the life you love, love the life you live --- bob marley

THANK YOU - one of my favorite - didn't know where it came from.

Here paraphrased is another one of my favorites:

He who knows not and knows not he knows not - is a fool, shun him

He who know not, and knows he knows not - is a child, teach him

He who knows, and knows not he knows - is asleep, awaken him

He who knows, and knows he knows - is wise, follow him

I heard it said this is Chinese - does anyone know?

AND:

There is no limit to the amount of good that can be accomplished, if you do not care who takes the credit.

I don't know if I wrote that correctly or where it comes from. It's something I try to live by.

One I once heard on the radio -

All through life- let it be your goal

To look upon the donut - and not upon the hole

That was before I found out I am MTF - hee hee

And the mental patient - I might be crazy, but I am not stupid!

And Forrest Gump: 'I know what love is, Jenny'

Plus about everything else he said... especially at the end, 'I think it's a little of both," on randomness or fate in our existence.
