"Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness."

Heard it on the radio years ago and it's always stuck with me. It's true as well. :smile:

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!

The phrase is actually 'all that glitters is not gold...'

For me:

'Love is not love/ Which alters when it alteration finds'

'Oh what a tangled web we weave/ When first we practice to decieve'

'It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness'

Whenever Im having a bad day I think of what my flatmate tells me

"what's meant to be yours wont pass you by"

Mainly useful when suffering heartbreak and other such nasty ordeals

It's not a quote or lyric or whatever, but it's one of the nicest things that has been said to me, it seems simple, but i loved it:

I could spend all day with you (said by a not-so-close friend in school)

Came from a T.V show, but at the time I heard it, it was incredibly relevant to me.
