I really hope you enjoy them… and if you’d like to share your favourites you can leave them in the comments box at the bottom of the page… I’d love to read them.

Inspiration is always a good thing, I remember being down once and my mum gave me a card with the footprints one on it…. did me a world of good
excellent topic Naomi
Two of the best Quotes I have ever read are, ” Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad” The other quote is, ” Those who dare not grasp the thorn should never crave the rose”
This is obviously not a quote in the literal sense but I am going to post something about what I feel is the greatest film I have ever seen and I have over 3,500 in my personal library. Somebody asked me this question while I was up at Chewton and my answer was Harp of Burma 1956 by Kon Ichikawa a Japanese director. The story is simple, about a Japanese soldier who has an extraordinary ability to play a small harp at the end of World War Two. The war ends but he is conscience stricken by the whole pointlessness of war and takes an oath to bury every Japanese soldier in Burma before returning home. The visuality of this film is absolutely astounding, he gets separated from his unit, has a religious conversion and then finally outside a POW camp dressed in Buddhist robes with two parrots on his shoulder he plays the Song of Farewell to his comrades who know he wont be returning with them, this is for me the most inspiring moving scene in the whole of cinema and believe me I have seen most of the best.The harp music set in the jungle locations is absolutely rivetting. I highly reccommend this film to anyone who wants to see something truly exceptionally inspiring. Can a film be an inspiring Quote? In this case I think so.
Marnie that number 5 line ‘All that truly matters in the end is that you loved’
is very good, thanks for that!
Naomi, here are some sayings I found in an old diary of mine and also from a ppt. (ppt didnt have citation).
1. When in doubt, just take the next small step
2. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present
3. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what your jouney is all about.
4. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
5. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
6. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.
7. “Laughter is a tranquilizer with no side effects” – Arnold Glasgow
8. “Treasure your relationships, not your possessions” – Anthony J.D Angelo
9. “The most wasted of all days is one without laughter” – E.E Cummings
Hi Naomi
i love your top 10 favourite quotes
later i try to share my in anoter time
i enioyed this lovely favouirte
You have i great morning
Love you Naomi x
Although strictly not a quote the short poem from the Irish poet William Butler Yeats has inspired me ever since I read it. Yeats had an unrequited love for Maud Gonne who was a beautiful and ardent revolutionary at the turn of the century and thus has relevance to this board. The poem comes from the Collection
The Wind in the Reeds (1899)
He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven
Had I the heaven’s embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and half-light
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
For those who don’t know him Yeats is an incredibly inspiring and imaginative romantic Symbolist poet, his visuality is stunning and he is well worth reading, he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923.
Leah that is a fabulous quote because my washing machine is anything but normal!
Love it.
Hi Naomi,
Long time reader first time commenter
My quote is short and simple:
“Normal is just a setting on a washing machine” -Unknown
“To love is to suffer.To avoid suffering, one must not love.But then, one suffers from not loving.Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer.To be happy is to love.To be happy, then, is to suffer,but suffering makes one unhappy.Therefore, to be happy, one must… love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.”
Woody Allen
“I’m exactly like you, same but different, different but equal – equally different.”
Rowden Kolone
“One thing is for Sure, the rest is ALL Mine.”
Rowden Kolone
Allan I love the Groucho Marx one about television, great quote!
“Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.” – Douglas Adams.
“Bore: one who has the power of speech but not the capacity for conversation.” – Benjamin Disraeli
“To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.” – Benjamin Disraeli
“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.” – Groucho Marx
“I’ve had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn’t it.” – Groucho Marx
“Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the Australian public.” (paraphrase) – H. L. Mencken
“In all affairs it’s a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted.” – Bertrand Russell
“I am not young enough to know everything.” – Oscar Wilde
“One of the things that is wrong with religion is that it teaches us to be satisfied with answers which are not really answers at all.” – Richard Dawkins
“‘Tradition’ is a four letter word.” – Allan Hardie
1.’Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire.’
Leach, Reggie
2. ‘He who loves will be loved again’ Mo Tzu
3. ‘What has been the sin here on earth? Was it not the saying of him who said
‘Woe to those who laugh!’ Friedrich Nietzsche
4.The voyage of discovery lies not in finding new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
Proust, Marcel
5.Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be fish.
Ovid
6. ‘I never take a walk in the company of three persons without finding one of them has something to teach me.’ Confucius
7.
Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth.
Benjamin Disraeli
8.Learn to see, and then you’ll know there is no end to the new worlds of our vision.
Castaneda, Carlos
9.We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.
Von Goethe, Johann Wolfgang
10. (another fuller translation of the Nietzsche quote below) ‘It is night:now do all leaping fountains speak louder. And my soul is too a leaping fountain.It is night: only now do all songs of lovers awaken. And my song is the song of a lover. Something unquenched, unquenchable is in me, that wants to speak out.A craving for love is in me, that itself speaks the language of love.’
I will probably want the last one carved as my epitaph, it comes from the powerfully brilliant Thus Spake Zarathrustra written between 1883 and 1885.
I have one that springs immediately to mind that has inspired me for years it is by the German Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche who has had a big influence on me ‘Leaping fountains speak louder at night, my heart too is a leaping fountain’
this quote really comes to me when I actuallly see fountains at night but of course it has a much deeper significance too.
I will put some more on later, this is a great idea Naomi!
