One of my favorite forms of written art in this world is when big meaning is put into the smallest of sentences. The little things that might seem obscure can indeed in reality be the biggest things to others, and when we dive in and look through the meanings of these smaller things, we can understand ourselves better and learn to see through different perspectives in life.

My favorite quote has to probably, among many others, the following...

"Sometimes, the people with the biggest smiles are the ones struggling the most... so be kind."


It's the phrases that make us think on a deeper level that are the most artistic and powerful. Reaching this level of thought is something I enjoy doing quite often, and I hope that by thinking of what words you like the most can help you enjoy it too.

Ooooo i like these kind of quotes! Especially the motivational once. Don't mind me i'm just gonna throw one down bellow xD

My mom said this to me once and it has stuck with me for many years now:
"Skita mot stjärnorna, även om du kanske bara kommer att nå trädtopparna."
Translated:
"Aim for the stars, even tho you might only reach the treetops."

It serves as a reminder that if you aim high your might not get as far as you would like, but you would likely do better that if you didn't aim for results like that to begin with.

this one's been particularly relevant to my life lately...

"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."

it's a good reminder that regret doesn't get anything done, and taking action now will prevent more regrets in the future :) i've been making a lot of meaningful life changes that i wish i had done years ago but at least i'm doing them now

"You can't burn bridges you can't see..." is my favorite phrase I came up with. It's supposed to refer to the phrase "We'll burn that bridge when we get to it" and it basically means don't worry too far into the future.

A close second would be "Storms don't last forever".

I think my favorite few quotes would be

Don't have a 5 dollar reaction to a nickel provocation.

Gratitude makes what we have, enough.

Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear.

wolves don't lose sleep over the opinions of sheep

i get too caught up with a lot of situations dealing with external conflict and sometimes i need to take a step back and realize its not worth my while in the long run

I've always liked the quote "Whatever will be, will be". I want to say it came from a song, but I first heard it in Tales of Symphonia!

I really like this quote by Bad-Anon from Wreck-It-Ralph that I think describes me best:

"I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be, than me."

While I have a vast collection of different quotes and beautiful poetry, I wish to add a few meant to help others be kind to themselves, because while you should be kind to each and every soul on the planet, you should be kindest to your own. It's the only one stuck with you forever.

“You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress, simultaneously.” — Unknown


“I kneel into a dream where I am good & loved. I am good. I am loved. My hands have made some good mistakes. They can always make better ones.” — Natalie Wee, Our Bodies & Other Fine Machines


“You are gold. Do not set yourself on fire to keep other people warm.” — Unknown


I also really love this one, it's oddly encouraging:
“She was never quite ready. But she was brave. And the universe listens to brave.”

Love this thread, and I've been meaning to post in it. Thanks Silver for making it!

A classic for writers that I've always loved: "Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self." - Cyril Connolly

"I will become what I deserve." This one comes from a song called The Fear by Ben Howard, and it can be interpreted a few different ways, but I interpret it as a warning. Sort of like a darker version of the Golden Rule: you are merely how you treat others.

((Im so sad saying Storm don’t last forever since “Storm” is the English translation of a band’s name...))

Ooo ive got lots of quotes...


“Because words with no heart in them have no meaning in them. I want to be someone who says “Thank You” from the bottom of my heart.” (Ive heard of it, but where?)

I can hear that voice telling me there is an endless sky, Let's step forward and fly, no matter how many times it takes

More than sharing our sadness to lessen the number of our tears, It's harder to not to able to share our happiness

Even the smallest of hopes will become a cheer for tomorrow Hold onto it tight in your heart

The last 3 are translations of song lyrics :D I really like the last one!

"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean it is not real?"

Dumbledore, from Harry Potter. I also have a shirt that has "We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided." on the back, and "wizard pride" on the front! Good quotes from ol' Dumbledore.

rediscovered this quote this morning and it's been bouncing around in my brain. one more time!

“It doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down. All that matters is you get up one more time than you were knocked down.”
