Ok..i'm starting a post where you just put quotes that make you feel better when you read them...any sort of quotes..

here's mine

"Life is short, but if you work it right, it's enough!"

and

"life is good, without it we would be dead" [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

now every one put some quotes and on and on and on..and if some one is depressed then this post can cheer them up (hopefully)

I posted this before but everyone was too dumb to look at it:

It is a song verse from Coolio's latest album. This verse is bound to make anyone feel better :D

Imagine looking at life through rose-tinted glasses
And the policy of the people is passive
And all the women got fat asses
And all the homies got dubs and deeds to spend
And when the po-po's pass they wave and say "hi"
And wear a grin (hey)
And everybody that you meet is a potential friend
And the women in your life love you for yourself and not your ends
And the population's real so there's no reason to pretend
And ignore we are the same, so no one hates you for the colour of your skin
And every waking thought is one of peace and harmony and bliss
That simple satisfaction like a plate of eggs and grits
Senses fully alive like the feeling of a first kiss
And when it's check out time you got a smile on your lips, huh
And the whole world is like a next-door neighbour
Quick to do you a favour even though we come in a million different flavours
And I know there's not enough time to put it all in one rhyme
So I savour the flavour and sweet taste I feel from the rays of the sunshine

Then again, a lot of rap quotes make me laugh and that makes me feel better....this thread could get long ;)

By his command these words are cut:
Cast a cold eye
On life, on death.
Horseman, pass by!
- William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

1: "This is an age in which one cannot find common sense without a search warrent"

2: "We are given our Destiny in life by something we can neither understand nor control, and it binds to our future as surely as any magic"

3: "I don't drink to escape my responsibilities, I drink to escape the consequences of other peoples inability to meet their responsibilities"

i've always like "don't misunderestimate me"...it makes me feel smart

The harder you try, the dumber you look when you fail.

Oh wait I guess thats not too uplifting, how about:
It could be that your soul purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others?

Ok, one last try:
Every cloud may have a silver lining but hundreds of people are killed by lightning while trying to find it.

...nope I give up.

Ok, this is the most posative quote I have ever laid my eyes on. It has gotten me through some tough times with dumbass bosses who refuse to listen to reason and believe they are the most superior entity to ever have exhisted. Anyway.. here it is.


" It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, 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 the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat. "

Anyone care to take a guess what the title of this quote is and who this quote is from?

"I might be in dire straits, but I'd rather be here because of the choices I made than well-off and answering to somebody else."

Clicheish, but only so because it's so good everybody keeps quoting it:

We're all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
--Oscar Wilde.
