"Every man is the builder of a temple called his body."

"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them."

"Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each."
-Henry David Thoreau
 
"May the wind always be at your back and the sun upon your face, and may the winds of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars" its from the movie Blow but i really like it for some reason
 
"The lesson which life repeats and constantly enforces is 'look under foot.' You are always nearer the divine and the true sources of your power than you think."


"We cannot walk through life on mountain peaks."

"Every walk to the woods is a religious rite, every bath in the stream is a saving ordinance. Communion service is at all hours, and the bread and wine are from the heart and marrow of Mother Earth. To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter...to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring—these are some of the rewards of the simple life. The most precious things of life are near at hand, without money and without price. Each of you has the whole wealth of the universe at your very door. All that I ever had, and still have, may be yours by stretching forth your hand and taking it. "


John Burroughs

Pericles
 
"My fate cannot be mastered; it can only be collaborated with and thereby, to some extent, directed. Nor am I the captain of my soul; I am only its noisiest passenger. "

Huxley.

Just read this one on google. When interpreted in my mind it says = "Forever with the flow"

edit to add this other quote (a lot of these great ones are coming from thinkexist.com once again check it out!):

"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love." - Washington Irving

We all have inner demons to fight, we call these demons, fear and hatred and anger.
If you do not conquer them then a life of one hundred years is a tragedy.
If you do, then a life of a single day can be a triumph.
-Yip Mann, Bruce Lee's first kung fu teacher

Some men are alive simply because it is against the law to kill them.
—Ed Howe

Bruce Lee has got so many good ones there isn't enough time in the world to post them, but if someone wants me to I will post my favourites.

"I like living, breathing better than working...my art is that of living. Each second, each breath is a work which is inscribed nowhere, which is neither visual nor cerebral, it's a sort of constant euphoria." –Marcel Duchamp

"I think there's a kind of adolescent alchemical phase in human development - a dangerous age from fifteen to twenty-one, where you'll either kill yourself, sell yourself out, or actually find something worth doing with your life." -Alex Grey

yeah, i may hate my life at times but i always try to live
 
I've made my mistakes in my life. I've let people take advantage of me and I've accepted way less than what I deserve. But, I've learned from my bad choices and even though there are some things I can never get back and people who will never be sorry. I know next time I won't settle for less than I deserve.

As we grow up we learn that even the person who wasn't supposed to let us down probably will. You'll have your heart broken, probably more than once, and its harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when someone broke yours. You'll fight with your best friend and maybe even all in love with them. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did and cry because time is passing too fast and you'll eventually lose someone close to you. So take too many pictures, laugh too much and love like you've never been hurt. Because every 60 seconds you spend angry or upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Isn't it funny that day by day nothing really changes, but when you looks back everything is different.

Hate is easy, it takes courage to love.

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

If you keep doing what you've always done you'll keep on what you always have; the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
-Albert Einstein

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me is more important than facts. It is more important than past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearances, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. the only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude...I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our attitudes. - Charles Swindoll
