Hi dear all,

I realy go for:

To BE, or NOT to be

Love and greetz`, Sylvia

Here are some that I like

"Time is God's way to keep everything from happening at once"

"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first"

"Maturity is knowing when and where to be immature"

"Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain."

"Experience is the name every one gives to their mistakes."

Here are two that aren't particularly profound but keep me going on a daily basis:

Choice is the only power I have

If it was easy anyone could do it

LOL rita...that was my tagline for a while...mahatma ghandi said that...i love that qoute..it helps me get through my life...

another one that i love is..."don't take life too seriously...you'll never get out of it alive" - elbert hubbard...

this next one i do not know who wrote/said it..."do it by the book___but be the author"

one that i really love and always makes me laugh is..."if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning" - catherine aird

I think Ghandhi was a remarkable man with great wisdom. Many of his quotes are ones I try to take seriously. Nightstar I also love the last one you posted.

To Nightstar...

Your quotes are remarkable,..and enjoyable to read!

Rita...Ghandi is one of the greatest person who's shown his teachings about peace,...has brought change to India, historicly.

And thanks ofcourse Monet, for putting that quote inn!

Love and greetz, Sylvia.

Gandhi is my favourite also... eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.. but this one I saw right here as somebody's (Think it was BOS, not sure) signature got me, and been spreading it ever since:
"A good friend will come and bail you out of jail... but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, Damn...that was fun!"

Here is a quatation I came across 19 yrs ago and really makes me think every time I read it.

Don't be deceived when they tell you, things are better now.Even if there is no poverty to be seen,because the poverty has been hidden.Even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which industries foist on you and even if it seems to you that you never had so much, that is only the slogan of those who still have much more than you. Don't be taken in when they pat you paternally on the shoulder and say that there is no inequality worth speaking of and no more reason to fight because if you believe them they will be completely in charge in their marble homes and granite banks from which they rob the people of the world under the pretense of bringing them culture. Watch out, for as soon as it pleases them they'll send you out to protect their gold in war whose weapons , rapadly developed by servile sceintists will become more and more deadly until they can with a flick of the finger tear a million of you to pieces.

Jean Paul Marat~18th century French Visionary.

How ironic

Wow Rita... thats a paste & copy...Thanks, Del

"Love is all you need" - John Lennon & Paul McCartney

"Don't hate the Chinese." - the Dalai Lama

"A good friendship is often more important that a passionate romance."

I have no idea who wrote this, but it stuck in my mind ever since I read it the first time...

here are 3 more I like ....

"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; Don't walk behind me, I may not lead; Walk beside me, and just be my friend."

"Do not marry a person that you know that you can live with; only marry someone that you cannot live without."

"Insanity is hereditary: You can get it from your children." (I really believe this one)

"That place...that place at the base of a woman's throat, you know, the hollow, here, (touches it) does it have an official name?"

Randir, I don't know the name of that spot just the feeling of love chills when I am kissed there...maybe that is one of the "zones". I know that when I am kissed on the back of my neck delicious shivers run through me...all part of love. Janet
