Some of my favourite quotes
Maya
Angelou
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
R Queen
“If you love something, love it completely, cherish it, say it, but most importantly, show it. Life is finite and fragile, and just because something is there one day, it might not be the next. Never take that for granted. Say what you need to say, then say a little more. Say too much. Show too much. Love too much. Everything is temporary but love. Love outlives us all.”
Barack
Obama
“I will never apologise for saying that the future of humanity and the future of the world is going to be defined by what we have in common as opposed to things that separate us and ultimately lead us into conflict.”
Dalai
Lama
“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.”
Aesop
“United we stand, divided we fall.”
George
Clooney
“I don't believe in heaven and hell. I don't know if I believe in God. All I know is that as an individual, I won't allow this life - the only thing I know to exist - to be wasted.”
Jimi
Hendrix
“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.”
Bertrand Russell
“If we are to live together and not die together, we must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance, which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet.”
George
Carlin
“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.”
Ricky
Gervais
“As an atheist, I see nothing 'wrong' in believing in a God. I don’t think there is a God, but belief in him does no harm. If it helps you in any way, then that’s fine with me. It’s when belief starts infringing on other people’s rights when it worries me. I would never deny your right to believe in a God. I would just rather you didn’t kill people who believe in a different God, say. Or stone someone to death because your rulebook says their sexuality is immoral. It’s strange that anyone who believes that an all-powerful, all-knowing, omniscient power responsible for everything that happens, would also want to judge and punish people for what they are.”
Nelson
Mandela
"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite."
Donna
Ashworth
"You cannot be everyone's cup of tea, but you can be someone's first sip of a cold drink on a sunny day. Or a warming hot chocolate when you come in from the rain. Or the pop of a long-awaited champagne cork. Or a stiff shot of tequila when things go awry. Find your people. Love them hard."
