starreyes Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 Hi everyone, LS has been very helpful to me and so many of you have great quotes that you live by and we can learn from. So, tell us, what is your favorite quote and why? Mine is "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent" by Elenor Roosevelt. What a strong quote.....no one can make me feel bad about myself unless I let them. It took a little while to work on feeling like this, but since I have done it, I feel tons better. It helps me in all my situations.

lindya Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 Happiness is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder. (Henry Thoreau)

LucreziaBorgia Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 "Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day." -- Charles Dickens
WhatShldIDo Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 "... and in those days shall man seek death and shall not find it, and shall desire to die and death shall flee them..." I feel lhis quote means we cant run from what bothers us or haunts us. That we must stand to conquor our inner most fears. The more we run, the longer we postpone the confrontation.

april Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 Gosh...some GREAT quotes here! I'm glad no one said the stupid "It is better to have loved and lost, than blah, blah, blah....". I dislike that one immensely.
Jtizzle Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 my mommy always says that no one can make you feel inferior without ur consent.. <<<<<love that a lying tongue hates those that are afflicted by it --bible love is a four letter word like Fu** and Sh**, either way their all bad a person who tells you your shoe is untied is an acquantence, whereas a person who gets down and ties your shoe is a friend..

alphamale Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 Originally posted by ~Naive~ IF YOU WANT SOMETHING SAID, ASK A MAN...IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DONE, ASK A WOMAN!!! actually NAIVE what this should say is "IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DONE, ASK A MAN...IF YOU WANT EMOTIONAL DISCOMBOBULATION AND DRAMA AND BEATING-AROUND-THE-BUSH THEN ASK A WOMAN"
whichwayisup Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 I hate to say it, but Alpha's kinda right. Men= Short, sweet and to the point. Women= A book!

How about this one: "Women are born with something men will never possess: A CLUE" (it made me laugh). Keep posting!

Jtizzle Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 my fav for men who say women are no good.. theres no such thing as a no good woman, that no good woman was the same good woman who was done wrong by a no good man
