I love quotes. They can be inspiring, encouraging, and all that jazz. So I though I’d make a thread where anyone can post a few of their favorite quotes.
Here are some of mine.
“We must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy.” ~Albus Dumbledore.
“Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic.” ~Albus Dumbledore
“I have found a desire within myself that no experience in this world can satisfy; the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.” ~C. S. Lewis
“True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less.” ~C. S. Lewis
“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” ~C. S. Lewis
“Good friends are like stars. You don’t always see them, but you know they’re always there.” ~Unknown

aldarley.wordpress.com@epicaddie2 Good idea! Here are some of my favorites…
“Is not this a dream come true in ways undreamed?” — (can’t remember her name. ARGH!)
“A heart that’s made of gold can’t really beat at all.” — Switchfoot
“Could it be that on my worst days // How You love me simply will not change // What if it’s really not about what I do but what You did?” — Mercyme
“You’re the passion that I’m never losing.” — TobyMac
“Remember who you are.” — Nia Wingfeather
Basically the entire song Sinking Deep by Hillsong Young & Free
“Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders // Let me walk upon the waters, wherever you may call me // Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander // And my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my Savior.” — Hillsong United
“There ain’t no darkness strong enough that could tear you out from my heart // There ain’t no strength that’s strong enough that could tear this love apart.” — Switchfoot
“All of my life, in every season // You are still God. I have a reason to sing // I have a reason to worship” — Hillsong United
“I look up to the mountains. Does my strength come from the mountains? No, my strength comes from God, who made heaven and earth… and the mountains.” — For King & Country
As you can see, I am very influenced by Christian music XD
You can pronounce it however you want.
@epicaddie2 😀 This is a really great idea
These ares some quotes that really inspire meJust because I play the piano, doesn’t mean I’m not/I’m not willing to take you down… I’m sorry. – Tyler Joseph, Twenty One Pilots
😀 Okay, that’s one mostly just funny. But it makes me laugh XD“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring“Sometimes standing against evil is more important than defeating it. The greatest heroes stand because it is right to do so, not because they believe they will walk away with their lives. Such selfless courage is a victory in itself.”
— N.D. Wilson (Dandelion Fire (100 Cupboards, #2))“Cowards live for the sake of living, but for heroes, life is a weapon, a thing to be spent, a gift to be given to the weak and the lost and the weary, even to the foolish and the cowardly.”
— N.D. Wilson (Empire of Bones (Ashtown Burials #3))“To love is to be selfless. To be selfless is to be fearless. To be fearless is to strip enemies of their greatest weapon. Even if they break our bodies and drain our blood, we are unvanquished. Our goal was never to live; our goal is to love. It is the goal of all noble men and women. Give all that can be given. Give even your live itself.”
— N.D. Wilson (Empire of Bones (Ashtown Burials #3))“Life before Death.
Strength before Weakness.
Journey before Destination.”
— Brandon Sanderson (The Way of Kings (The Stormlight Archive, #1))“Sometimes the prize is not worth the costs. The means by which we achieve victory are as important as the victory itself.”
— Brandon Sanderson (The Way of Kings (The Stormlight Archive, #1))“I will protect even those I hate, so long as it is right”
― Kaladin Stormblessed, Words of Radiance, Stormlight Archive #2 by Brandon Sanderson
“I will remember those who have been forgotten”
-Lift, Edgedancer, Stormlight 2.5 by Brandon Sanderson
There are things we can do
But from the things that work there are only two
And from the two that we choose to do
Peace will win and fear will lose
It is faith and there’s sleep
We need to pick one please because
Faith is to be awake
And to be awake is for us to think
And for us to think is to be alive
And I will try with every rhyme
To come across like I am dying
To let you know you need to try to think-Tyler Joseph, Car Radio, Twenty One Pilots
XD (practically half the song)
*Giarstanornarak tries to melt chair*
Also, Daeus has 22 turtles in his signature.@dekreel Ooooooh I like the first one!
@sam-kowal Ah! I love that Gandalf/Tolkien quote!!!Here’s a few more.
“Everyday has the potential to be the greatest day of your life.” ~Lin-Manuel Miranda
“Not all those who wander are lost.” ~J. R. R. Tolkien
“Even if it isn’t a piece of work that finds an audience, it will teach you thinks you could have learning no other way.” ~J. K. Rowling
“So do not ever quit out of fear of rejection. Maybe your third, fourth, fiftieth song/novel/painting will be the one that ‘makes it’, that wins the plaudits… but you’d never have got there without finishing the others (all of which will not be of more interest to your audience).” ~J. K. Rowling

aldarley.wordpress.com@epicaddie2 Splendid idea! (and @sam-kowal , that one from Not Today is one of my favorites EVER.)
Lessee… *looks through memory*
Don’t panic! -Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Why do write like you’re running out of time? Write day and night like you’re running out of time? Everyday you fight like you’re running out of time, – Hamilton
All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost. – Take a guess. 😉
The enemy’s best efforts to blacken the world would only serve to scatter the light like stars in the heavens. -Andrew Peterson
Hey girl, don’t conform now, no one else got a soul like you,
Hey girl, you’re a strong one, but none of us are bulletproof. -Switchfoot

aldarley.wordpress.com@epicaddie2 I love this thread!
@sam-kowal that quote from Gandal is one of my favourites.Here are a few of my favourites:
“He is no fool to give up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose” Jim Elliot
“It is not worth living for if it is not worth dying for” Elisabeth Elliot (thats a paraphrase, I can’t remember the exact words)
“God’s plan never ends in ashes” Elisabeth Elliot
“All the wretched of the earth, there is a flame that never dies. Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise” Les Miserables ‘Do you Hear The People Sing Resprise’
There’s more but those are all I can think of off the top of my head.
INFP Queen of the Kingdom commander of an army of origami cranes and a sabre from Babylon.
@seekjustice I really like the Elisabeth Elliot quote/paraphrase!!

“In the immortal words of Loshain P’stane, ‘If anyone reads this without permission, he will be most certainly and brutally slain. Or at the very least I’ll chop off a finger or two. Or three.'” -Oscar Reteep, Wingfeather Saga

aldarley.wordpress.com@epicaddie2 i know! It’s very cool, but i can’t remember were I found it, so I can’t double check it.
INFP Queen of the Kingdom commander of an army of origami cranes and a sabre from Babylon.
@dekreel Switchfooooooot!!! Yep, that’s LOTR. 😀
@epicaddie2 *ridiculously loud* HAMILTON!!!!! Ok, I just needed to do that. xDYou have?? That’s so cool! Do you like Switchfoot? (I’m sorry if we’ve had this conversation before. I think my memory chip is overloaded with song lyrics 😉 )
Oh, here’s another quote:
You use way to many parenthesis! -Me addressing myself 😛
Blog: https://weridasusual.home.blog/
@daughteroftheking I love Switchfoot!!! I haven’t gotten to meet Jon Foreman yet, which is kinda strange because I’ve been to several parties and his family was there, and when I went to the BroAm (do you know what that is?) they were right next to me.
Our good friends are good friends with the Foremans 😉
What’s your favorite Hamilton song? Character? Line?

aldarley.wordpress.com@waterlily <3 <3 Wingfeather Saga!!!
“If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken // Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools // And watch the things you give your life to broken // And stoop and build them up with worn out tools.”
— The IF Poem
