What quote(s) do you live by?

Recommended Posts

What quotes made by famous people 'and many more' do you live by?

 

I'm searching for a quote I could live by... Give me a moment...

 

Aha! I've got it!

 

"In order for something to be obtained, something of equal or greater value must be given in return." ~Edward Elric & Alphonse Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist

This quote has told me that if I want to get something, I have to use Equal or Greater effort to obtain it.

Either that or I might have to pay a little extra to get something at the store. •_•

"Life isn’t divided into genres. It’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel … with a bit of pornography if you're lucky."

-Alan Moore

 

Not that I actually live my life by any quotes, I just love the things Alan Moore says.

I was just kidding about those two quotes

Some perfect quotes I live by is simply:

"That's what's wrong with the world; too many people grow up." -Walt Disney.

This quote describes my beliefs; I never want to grow up, to be an adult that just has nothing more to life but repetitive routines and sadness.

 

"My friends are my power!" -Sora

I love this quote because it shows how Sora gets all his strength from those he cares about. Like him, I also get my power from my friends.

 

"The heart may be weak, and sometimes it may even give in. But I've learned, that deep down there's a light that never goes out!" -Sora

I picked this quote as my yearbook quote too because this quote is very personal to me, as it thought me that no matter how hard life if or how much pain you are in, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. As these past few years wasn't the best for me, this quote certainly means a lot to me.

"Don't wish it were easier, wish you were better." - Chief (Animal Crossing: New Leaf)

I tell myself this one when it comes to art. Sometimes I complain things are a bit too hard when I remember this, and it makes me want to become better.

 

"We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us." - Andrew Ryan (Bioshock)

When I need to remind myself certain actions will bring certain consequences.

 

"But you’re not the only one shouldering something. Everyone is the same. Don’t think you’re some tragic protagonist." - Mink (DRAMAtical Murder)

Yes I have it bad, but everyone has bad in their lives at some point. I need to push it through.

 

"Those who call themselves ‘ugly’ don’t realize that someone out there thinks they’re the most beautiful person in their eyes." - France (Hetalia)

When I think my self esteem is about to plummet to a whole new level.

 

"I'm so hot I could kiss myself!" - England (Hetalia)

Every morning when I wake up

 

"I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade... And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party." - Ron White

And this is why I have certain special friends.

 

"I'm an idealist. I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way." - Carl Sandburg

My life so far to which I live

 

"Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company." - Mark Twain

Because I know that I ain't going to heaven any time soon

I don't live by them per se, but they're two I really take a liking to and find inspirational I guess:
 
"Make sure you live in the moment and work your butt off every single day, and I hope I inspire people all around the world to just be themselves, be humble, and be grateful for all the blessings in your life." –Stephen Curry
 
"Success is not an accident, success is actually a choice...And my question to you is, are the habits that you have today on par with the dreams you have for tomorrow?That’s something you need to ask yourself every single day. Because whatever you do on a regular basis today will determine where you will be tomorrow."
–Alan Stein

To those who might not know, Imam Ali (peace be upon him) is one of the most significant figures in Islamic history. His greatness is only second to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his progeny). I was just going through his quotes and sayings and saw this one and thought, "Yep, I really go by this one" so I'm sharing it with you all. :)

 

Peace!

~ Friedrich Nietzsche ~

 

" Sincerity is answered with sincerity. That is our way. "

~ Radiant Historia ~

 

This is something I try to live by. If you start with one lie, then what's stopping you to tell another one.

 

"To live life, you need problems. If you get everything you want the minute you want it, what's the point of living?"

~ Adventure time - Jake and BMO ~

 

I think that one is very explicit.

 

"The Fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."~ William Shakespeare ~

 

 

"There’s a difference between being friendly and being friends. I try to be friendly with everyone. I have very few friends."

 

Another very explicit one.

 

Those are a few of the ones I can think of.
