Have you, or
Have you, or any one of your friends and family, ever said something particularly wise or inspirarional and wished you could quote yourself? Here is a CBer quote thread where you may write interesting sayings and quotes that were written by you, or someone you know.
"Life is filled with bumps and slides. We may trip over at first, but we must keep moving in order to stay on our feet."-LilyPad
Ooooh, it sound very official and fancy when written in italics...
"Opportunities don't come knocking on the door, go outside and look for one"- one of my friends...
Well, feel free to add your own. And your quote doesn't have to be intelligent at all, it could even be something funny and just a little bit wise that a fellow CBer has said. This can also be a place to post your favourite quotes from a book, online or a family member.
Enjoy!

"Never say goobye. If you don't say goodbye, you're not gone, you're just not here right now."- A TV show I love
"Life is like a road trip. Sometimes you have a map and sometimes you don't. Sometimes you have a trusty navigator and sometimes you don't. But that's part of the fun, not knowing what the hack you're doing." -Epic Fangirl/Me
"Home is not a place, it is where your heart longs to be."-Me
"Courage is not the absence of fear. It is acting in spite of it." -Mark Twain
"You ever wonder why we're here? Maybe you're all here because this is the only place you fit in. Maybe you're here because you don't have anywhere else to go. Maybe you're all here because deep down, you want to be here. The reason doesn't matter. What matters is that you're here."- Character from the same TV show
"Let's go rattle the stars"- Aelin Ashryver Galathathinius
"It's a leap of faith, sometimes you fall."- Same TV show
"There are so many stories where some brave hero decides to give their life to save the day, and because of their sacrifice, the good guys win, the survivors all cheer, and everybody lives happily ever after. But the hero... never gets to see that ending. They'll never know if their sacrifice actually made a difference. They'll never know if the day was really saved. In the end, they just have to have faith. Ain't that a *****"-Same show
For anyone who wants to know that show is called Red Vs Blue and it is AMAZING!! Sorry if I went a bit overboard. I could easily have come up with more if I'd wanted though.

This is from the Two Towers book:
"How shall a man judge what to do in such times?" "As he ever had judged. Good and ill have not changed since yesteryear..."
I dunno. I think that it's a really good thing to remember, especially in the USA at this time.

I love quotes! I've been making a list of them and this thread is very helpful, so I'll be sure to check back on it.

"Everything in life has a price. Heck, even life itself has a price, and that is death." ~Embers in the Ashes
"Never wish death upon anyone. You may find yourself later regretting it." ~Embers in the Ashes
These are two that I've said that my friends constantly quote. I'm generally the one saying those types of things, although I have one friend who writes very poeticly.

"Starseeker, always remember to draw faces on the warts of life." ~My mother
Explanation: I got a wart on my foot that had to be removed, cause I couldn't walk. While we were in the waiting room, I picked up a pen and drew a cat face on the wart. When the nurse came in, she laughed so hard, and then got all the other nurses to come see. Ever since, she's known me as "that girl who drew a cat on her wart" and always makes an effort to be nice and start a conversation. But my mom said that quote to remind me to be positive and have a different view on bad things.
