This is my favorite quote its rather long but it is excellent in my opinion.
"It is not the Critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
--Teddy Roosevelt
I really like this quote because it recognizes the work that people put into doing what they love, and that critics shouldn't matter in their eyes because they are the one puttin gin the work and time.
It's called, "Man in the Arena"
Mike I think thats a great quote! I have never heard it before. I think its a great way to encourage people to do what they love no matter what other people think!
This is my favorite quote:
"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." ~Winston Churchill
This quote is meaningful to me because I believe in helping others in any way that I can, and I also believe that helping others is far more rewarding than any material object.
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
-Maya Angelou
I like this quote because it's how I live my life. The actions and words of people I encounter end up fading away and I don't remember specifics but the feelings I experienced when with those people will stick with me.
I have two just because I couldn't choose ha:
"Leaders aren't born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal."
Vince Lombardi
"Any guy can sweep any girl off her feet, he just needs the right broom."
Hitch
I like the Lombardi quote because it is true. I believe that all of us on staff are leaders. And we also work hard to achieve our goals.
And I liked the second quote because I honestly feel like you cant expect the person you want to be with to fall into your arms you have to go find them. Because if two people who could be great for each other are both waiting for the other one to fall into their arms nothing will happen.
I like yours Kelsey because it is very true!
I could've eaten Alphabits and crapped out a better essay!!
I dont know who said this quote. To be honest i looked it up on google because i dont have a favorite quote. I choose this one because its funny and it kind of describes my writing skills.
I like Kelsey's quote in particular because it is so true. You are remembered for how you make people feel, and that can leave a very important impression on an individual's life.
I too like a lot of Vince Lombardi quotes such as, "If you are not fired with enthusiasm you will be fired with enthusiams." also very true. Makes a person develop a good work ethic in order to achieve what they want in life.
Mike your quote is very long but good great job leopard dog
"Smiles can change the world."
I like this quote because I feel that smiles are contagious and they make more people happy! If more happy people are in the world the world will be a better place because happy people tend not to do evil things.
JJ i like yours because it reminded me of alphabits and i havent had those in a while and they are really tasty!
On of my favorite quotes is "In order to achieve something you never have before you must do something you have never done before."
I like the play on words and one thing I have a hard time with is breaking out of my comfort zone and routine so sometimes this quote reminds me to go for it because the results could be worth the extra effort or new perspective.
I like the movie quote Tyler. (the leadership one is good and very true as well) but ya can't argue with Will Smith. :)
K I have another one too and I feel like a nerd for posting it but it's from my Philosophy book on Taoism, "To be bent is to become straight, To be empty is to be full, to be worn out is to be renewed, to have little is to posses, to have plenty is to be perplexed." Lao Tzu
Just thought it was a good way to sum up that life is about being satisfied with what you have because money is not the key to happiness.
"pursue perfection, and hope for excellance"
This quote my football coach used to tell us this all the time. In practices he would push us to be perfect so when games came we wouldn't have to think about our fundamentals and we would be excellent. I think this helped me build my character into what it is today.
I like jj's quote because its funny but bridget yours is perfect coming from you lol
Bridget your quote is perfect for you! And it's very true, it is hard not to cheer up when someone smiles.
Hi everyone...what great quotes and good comments. I think that each of the quotes you picked reflected a portion of your unique personalities!
My quote is from Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass:
Only themselves understand themselves, and the like of themselves as souls only understand souls.
I've loved this quote since high school (I know...that was some time ago) because it touches on the importance of knowing and understand yourself, a lesson that is difficult to learn but extremely valuable.
