What is your quote of life?

Post by GarryDixon »

Hi everyone! Is there any quote that you’re inspired by and see it as your quote of life? If so, can you share with me and others about it? Mine would probably be “You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great”. I find it really interesting and helpful because I was a procrastinator.

Yes, one I made up for myself as a child. Later on in life, I came across one with similar meaning.

My greatest wisdom is my deepest silence. That was my approach to Lucid Dreaming. You have to know it to learn.

My niece reminds me of it every time she tells me to shut the phuck up.

But seriously, You have to know it and practice to separate body and mind.

Seeing around the next corner straightens everything out.

How about, please toss me a life saver, my life savior is drowning me.

Oops, I came to the wrong place to be baptized, I had no idea they use bull-shit here.

Shows you how much I know about Philosophy, I did not know it meant baptism in bull-shit.

Interesting point of view.

After distillation and refinement, less-is-more defines a wealth-of-words in the word-realm where cliché and too much “to be,” define poverty.

What flavour of life savor? I like the green, some like the red and a few like the yellow pineapples.

Did you know, a joke cannot comprehend one.

Relation to self is inadmissible.
Another example of why you are on my shit list.

I know just two words that sound the same would confuse you, I sure knew that three would utterly confound you.
Way too much for you to get a joke.
You imagine I believe that I can teach something to the hopelessly witless? Why you think I use the shit list so much. Real gems are hard to find.
I did not come here to start a sewing circle, or to circle jerk, your favorite pastime.

Awww. Suck on a life-saver and savor the flavour of pleasure, then put that kindness into words since they are where we exist, here in the intellectual realm.

It surely is an improvement upon your nasty little habit of sucking on shit lists.

:shock:

Haven't had one of those for years. I seem to remember I liked the orange and yellow ones best. Didn't like the purple.

Shouldn't that be in the joke thread? It's not bad.

And spare me a lecture on what Plato thought of jokes and how they are beneath your award-winning talents.
Any good jokes in the bible? Or was the whole thing the joke? A joke on humankind...

I aint talking to you, and this is not me saying this.
Sides it aint no joke. My appointment is April, 16, 1998, I think. When it gets close, I'll double check it.
