I am working on some ideas for some vinyl wall art. And trying to come up with some quotes and sayings! Mostly for around the home but also for cars! And I figured I'd come here for some inspiration, so I wanna know:

Do you have a favorite quote?


Mine are:
"Be who you are and say what you want. Because those that mind dont matter and those that matter dont mind." - Dr Seuss
"All because two people fell in love..."
"LIVE every moment, LAUGH every day, LOVE beyond words."

It's better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all.

I have lots of favorites! To start off:

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."

Great topic! I have so many that it's hard to narrow it down.

Anyway, my favorite quotes:

"What ever you are, be a good one"---A. Lincoln

"It has been said that time heals all wounds. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue, and the pain lessens, but it is never gone." Rose Kennedy

And my favorite movie quote:

"You tell them I'm coming, and hell's coming with me!" Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp in Tombstone

My favorite is Gary's: There are a million reasons why something can't be done, you just need one why it can.

But Winston Churchill just has SO many good ones. Some of my favorites are:

- Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference

- A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty

- Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those ... moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain.
Time to die.
Roy Batty - Blade Runner

No, I don't want to die but that is one of the quotes I love.

I love your Dr. Seuss quote! But before you have it cut in vinyl, be sure to add the apostrophes in the "don'ts!"


Here's another I love, from my favorite Dr. Seuss book, "Oh, The Places You'll Go." It would be perfect above a bookcase: \t
\t\t

“The more that you read,
the more things you will know.
The more that you learn,
the more places you'll go.â€

Such a great moment from Blade Runner. It may not be the sort of thing you'd put around the crown moulding in your parlor, but it's classic! :-)

"Happiness is good health and a bad memory."

"Give a man a match, and he'll be warm for a minute, but set him on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."

"War doesn't determine who's right. War determines who's left."

"I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it."

"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world."

Love Blade Runner, love that scene. Reminds me of another one of my favorite quotes, this time from Simon and Garfunkel:

"...as I watch the drops of rain weave their weary paths and die,
I know that I am like the rain---there but for the grace of you go I"
