In all of us there is an elusive melody, which when heard and followed, leads us to the fulfillment of our fondest dreams and wishes...

I never worry about action, but only inaction. Winston Churchill.And while I was looking for this one (heard it in "Prison Break", BTW), I found few more great from Churchill: A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on. A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. If you are going through hell, keep going. We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out. www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/w/winston_churchill.html

Another cool guy was Mahatma Gandhi! *An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. *I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent. *Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes. *I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers. (oh my, ....I am a photographer.....actually... )

In life you only regret the things you didn't do. ( I don't know who said that. But I think that's so true. Unfortunately I haven't always followed that rule. )
By the way, I'm happy that many of you are sharing their quotes here.

Great quotes! I especially like the one about regrets.. I tend to try to live that way in hopes that I don't go overboard.

I actually just read through this thread and I guess I have to share one thing Tommy told me. (and he got it from somewhere else again) "it doesn't matter if you love what you do, but that you do what you love"When he first told me, I was like, uhm, what? Then he said to me that he had to think about it quite some time before he really got it, and me too actually. But somehow it's very deep and very nice I also really like all the other quotes in this thread

Time doesn't wait. If you think you might have found the right one, treasure the person, don't let that person get away. Don't let fear hold you back. Give it a try else you might regret later... No one other than ourselves know what can truly make us happy.

If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you. Oscar Wilde Another view on the matter from Paulo Coelho: Before telling the truth, dip the words into honey...I'd like to say thank you for all the wise phrases sent to this wonderful thread (a bit unfairly forgotten... )!

Be glad of life, because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.
