I mean, I'm pretty sure Jesus said it first, I remember reading it in the bible.

Take the road less traveled. It's never busy.
 
I have two favorite quotes from one of my favorite series, The Foxhole Court:

It sounded like a dream; it tasted like damnation.

Fight because you don't know how to die quietly. Win because you don't know how to lose.
 
Here's another quote I like alot!

The first step is always the hardest.

Nice to see it included as Fauna's Pic Quote too. :p
 
"Most of the problems in life are because of two reasons, we act without thinking or we keep thinking without acting." - my fav anime
 
omg I have a bunch of sticky notes on my laptop with my fave quotes, but I guess I'll share my favorites

I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because s/he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.

― Lisa Kleypas, Blue-Eyed Devil

Idk I never looked at this from a romantic standpoint. It's like, there's this amazing feeling when you genuinely love someone and they love you back, you know? Could be a family, friend, etc. etc. and this just stood out to me bc it's true; putting aside flaws and loving someone for who they really are just makes me feel happy. c:

Nothing worth having comes easy.

In times when I get extremely stressed with extra-curricular work or majors (and I do want to get into medicine someday), I just remember this line and think that all my hard work are put into a greater something. It'll all pay off in the end, and I know I'm happy with what I'm doing and where I'm heading.
 
"I'd woken up early, and I took a long time getting ready to exist"

From The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa(or, Bernardo Soares, one of his many heteronyms). I could probably quote the whole book here if I could, it has quite a lot of "wisdoms" I find accurate.
 
"nothing is either good nor bad but thinking makes it so." Hamlet

IDK it makes me feel better when I feel like everything is bad because I psych myself out
 
"Hey. It's okay to laugh at something you don't agree with. It's called 'sophistication.'"

This generation needs to hear this quote lol.

- - - Post Merge - - -

"We do not stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing."

There's a place near my town where the walls and flooring are made of trampolines, and they have that quote painted on one of the walls. I've always loved it. It gives me chills every time I hear it.
