Words That Have Stayed With You Long After Hearing Them

This could be from a song, a book, a film, or someone as great as mahatma ghandi..

so what's yours?

Reason i ask if because my college is doing a yearbook quote and i havn't picked mine yet, I was thinking of going with 'all that is gold does not glitter..' but i wanted something more personal!

I love the shawshank quote 'I hope the pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope'

And the lyric 'Get outta my dreams, Get into my car'

If anyone has any nice quotes they want to share with me that would be awesome :smile:

I'm really stuck!

'It's better to regret something you have done than something you haven't'.

Obviously not foolproof, but it's been the driving force behind a lot of my decisions over the last year... which is bizarre for me, as I usually hate sayings like that. That one really just 'clicks' though.
