My favorite quote comes from the bible. I don't follow the bible but I saw it on MLK's epitaph and I thought it was so apt so I looked it up to learn about it.

"When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years." - Mark Twain
Reporter: What do you think of western civilization?

"The idea that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the idea that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality." - George Bernard Shaw
"Take a close look at nature. Learn your lessons from the sun, moon, and stars. They work so tirelessly, so impersonally. Watch the rivers flow. They have no personal motives. Flowers bloom. They give out a sweet fragrance. There is neither an ego prompting them to do so nor have they selfish desires to fulfill. Similarly, let your work be free from the taint of egoism and selfishness. Follow the path of benevolence of nature. Rise above the idea of the little self or ego. Banish the thought of 'I am doing this.' The more you rise above the little ego the more glorious your work turns out. Such work brings you success, prosperity and peace." - not sure who said it
"...Thomas did not believe the resurrection and, as they say, would not believe without having ocular and manual demonstration himself. So neither will I, and the reason is equally as good for me, and for every other person, as for Thomas." - Thomas Paine
And probably my most favorite, as it changed my philosophy on life almost completely:
Why should I fear death? If I am, death is not. If death is, I am not. Why should I fear that which cannot exist when I do? - Epicurus
-
"Let it be" Paul McCartney

This one always sticks in my head - "Life is the new beginning". I dont know who is it by. Anyone does? let me know please.

I always get this one wrong...but here's the main idea:
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.
I always forget the source too!!! But, when I was going through my not thinking before I speak stage about 25 years ago, I heard this and have lived and taught it ever since.
Go Gandhi!!!

first of all, i really like the one posted by llt1004. and i feel that there are too many quotes to pick a favorite, but i have two that i really enjoy. the first is from an anonymous source and it goes "life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." and the other is "life is a tragedy for those who feel and a comedy for those who think." and that one, my friends, is from afortune cookie! :P

For some reason every thime I read your quote I think of Labyrinth!
"Sarah: Give me the child. Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that you have stolen. For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great...
You have no power over me "
