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."

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

Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength. - unknown

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! :-)

More:

"Happiness is good health and a bad memory."
-Ingrid Bergman

"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."
-Anne Frank

"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope."
-Robert Francis Kennedy

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"

There is a special place in my heart for Irish blessings; I think they are beautiful. "May the road rise up to meet you."

I also like the Latin phrase "Abyssus abyssum invocat." (Commonly translated to "one mistep leads to another", though that is not the literal translation.)

And I love this quote, though I regret not being able to find out who said it. I think I read it on a bumpersticker. "Gambling is not a problem if you're winning."

Goodness, I could go on and on with this topic. I haven't even gotten to dialogue from Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional.

Okay - I'll get serious now.

I love this inspirational quote so much and just thought to share it on this thread


I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. (By Stephen Grellet)
