favorite quote of all time?

one death is a tragedy, but a million deaths is merely a statistic

This is my favorite of all time. It is long, but worth it.

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,

and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible without surrender

be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly;

and listen to others,

even the dull and the ignorant;

they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,

they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,

you may become vain and bitter;

for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;

it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs;

for the world is full of trickery.

But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;

many persons strive for high ideals;

and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.

Especially, do not feign affection.

Neither be cynical about love;

for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment

it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,

gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.

But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.

Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,

be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,

no less than the trees and the stars;

you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,

no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,

whatever you conceive Him to be,

and whatever your labors and aspirations,

in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,

it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful.

Strive to be happy.

"I can tell you the license plate numbers of all six cars outside. I can tell you that our waitress is left-handed and the guy sitting up at the counter weighs two hundred fifteen pounds and knows how to handle himself. I know the best place to look for a gun is the cab of the gray truck outside, and at this altitude, I can run flat out for a half mile before my hands start shaking. Now why would I know that? How can I know that and not know who I am?" - The Bourne Identity

"If you don't tell me what I want to know, then it'll just be a question of how much you want it to hurt. " - 24

"People are made of sweat, blood and apprehension"

A heart is a fragile thing. That's why we protect them so vigorously, give them away so rarely, and why it means so much when we do. Some hearts are more fragile than others. Purer, somehow. Like crystal in a world of glass, even the way they shatter is beautiful.

Out out brief candle. Life is nothing but a walking shadow, a poor player who struts and fruts his hour upon the stage and is never heard again. It is a tale told my idiots full of sound and fury signafing nothing. William Shakespear

"Never make someone your everything, cuz when there gone, you've got nothing".

"The only mistake you've ever made, is the one you didnt learn anything from".

"Trying to forget someone you love, is like trying to remember someone you never knew"

We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.

If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it's yours. If it does not come back, it was never meant to be.

Somewhere there's someone who dreams of your smile, and finds in your presence that life is worthwhile. So, when you are lonely remember it's true: somebody somewhere is thinking of you.

never goes well at first for

anyone.

But by no means should you

grow impatient. Impatience brings

uneasiness and distracts the

heart."- Kaepora Gaebora

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

In matters of style, swim with the current. In matters of principle-stand like a rock.
