Favourite Quotes
Hey people,
What are everyone's favourite quotes? Quotes that inspire you, quotes that you find funny, quotes that scare you........ anything interesting.
My favourite quote is "Far better it is to dare mighty things than to rank with those poor timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat".
I try and live my life by that idealogy!
Anyone else got any thought-provoking quotes that they remember for everyday life?

And thus I clothe my naked villany with odd old ends stol'n out of holy writ, and seem a saint, when most I play the devil.

I have loads, have a wordpad that is about 30 pages long and basically a collection of quotes that I have amassed from various sources over the past few years, it's on my computer at uni though. Top of my head, one of my favourite quotes is probably:
'if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got.'
I made a thread a couple of days ago called 'whats the best advice you've ever been given?' and that has quite a few quotes in

Damn, I was going to start a thread on this. 
Erm... I've got so many, but I like this one for it's wit:
"Better to keep quiet and be thought of a fool then to open ones mouth and remove all doubt." I think it was from Lincon but I'm not sure.

Amore vincit omnia- love conquers all
Only in suffering do we recognise beauty- Proust
The past depresses me, the present bores me and the future scares me to death- Noel Coward
The whole conviction of my life rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon peculiar to myself and a few solitary men is the central and inevitable fact of human existence- Thomas Wolfe or Annigoni, Google has links attributing the quote to both of them
We do not know what we want yet we are responsible for what we are- Jean Paul Sartre
A moment was the most you could ever expect from perfection - Fight Club, Chuck Palahnuik. The film is so quotable but this one is one of my favourites from the book.
Surviving in whatever life you're living means lying and lying corrodes the soul so take a break from the lies for just one minute
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take- Wayne Gretsky
These are just a few as I have a load more. Like britishseapower above I've got a collection of quotes that I've heard or read somewhere and liked but I've got a little book that I copy them into.

'I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse.' Walt Disney
'I happen to be a kind of inquisitive guy and when I see things I don't like, I start thinking why do they have to be like this and how can I improve them?' Walt Disney
'If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven played music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.' Martin Luther King
'Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's when you've had everything to do, and you've done it.' Margaret Thatcher

The best place to blag quotes from is peoples signatures, I've gained loads from that. Also, threads like this help. I have probably infringed so much copyright it's untrue but then it's only for my own personal use.
It is better to remain quiet and thought a fool than to open mouth and remove all doubt.
White Rabbit
It is better to remain quiet and thought a fool than to open mouth and remove all doubt.
there is another quote like that, can't remember it word for word but it's something like better to ask a question and know than not to and be a fool forever
"If someone criticises you, top it.
If you can't top it, equal it.
If you can't equal it, laugh at it.
If you can't laugh at it, you probably deserved it." - anon
Self-command is the main elegance. - Ralph Waldo Emerson. I get angry very easily - oh, and that helped me lose a lot of weight too (the quote, not the getting angry).
Don't ask for a light load, but rather ask for a strong back. - unknown
If the going is real easy, beware, you may be headed down hill. - unknown
