Quotes that you like?

Mine are all a bit warped lol.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger - or a complete cynical b!tch!" (one of my own, that lol)

"Let's hope the light at the end of the tunnel isn't an oncoming train"

"Be an individual - just like everyone else!"

Hmmm. Not sure what rooms they'd go in though lol.

Not a fan of wall quotes like *max*. I like a 'Home Sweet Home' sign/doormat, but that's my lot.

"Cheerleaders are the strongest athletes, as they must fight for gold while they fight their stereotype."

"This beauty trains like a beast"

"In other sports, if you miss the catch all you drop is the ball..."

"I'm not telling you it will be easy. I'm telling you it will be worth it."

"The good practices make your team prepared. The bad ones make your team strong. But the worst ones make your team family."

Gee, wonder what my inspiration is?

And a longer one - originally Marianne Williams but I prefer the non-religious version as used in Coach Carter:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.

It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. "

*sniffle*

"Don't put quotes on your wall"

Sorry, I dislike the whole quotes on plaques and signs fashion. Charity shop fodder in a year or two.

If something really, really means something to you then by all means put it up in your house but please don't use the over-used tired trite sh!te that every gift shop sells just because it looks quirky.

It doesn't. It looks like you have a tail and say Baa.

Yup, totally agree with that. Nothing wrong with a quote that particularly means something to you personally, or a song lyric, but the ones that are used again and again, being sold in numourous shops fail IMO to have any meaning anymore because so many homes up and down the country have the same one and it does become abit 'sheepy'

I have loads of favourite quotes:

'It is our choices, Harry, that show us what we truly are.' (Professor Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets)
'Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.' (Voltaire)
'Whatever you do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.' (attributed to Goethe)
'You miss one hundred per cent of the shots you don't take.' (Wayne Gretzky)

That said, I agree with everyone who has said that you should pick something because it speaks to you.

cheeswright

are these sayings to say things about yourself to other people
or
to remind yourself of something you occasionally loose sight of ?
I dont really get them but if i did for the first

"Caught you reading wall art!"

or

for the second I guess ,,,

"Here and Now"

I left the room with silent dignity, but caught my foot in the mat.

Not sure it would make good wall art though!

Quote from Desiderata "With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy"

And can you go wrong with anything from Winnie the Pooh? "You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” Lovely for a child's room.

Contrary with a few of the posts on here, I rather like word art on the walls! My tastes may change in a year or two but for now, bring them on!

From Rocky Balboa (and my mate's fridge)

The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place, and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!

Now if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth! But you gotta be willing to take the hits. And not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!

Marilyn Monroe has some great quotes. Google them. My fav is "I'm selfish" one!!!
