For The Love Of Quotes

This year I have developed a love for the art of quotations. Quoations are simple, eloquent ways of capturing an ideal, an essence, or a whole movement. This entry will list notable quotes I have come across.

• "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless." - King Solomon
• “Those who have knowledge don’t predict. Those who predict don’t have knowledge.” - Lao Tzu
• "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss / Bernard Baruch
• "Be the change that you wish to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi
• "Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain
• "Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich." - Lao Tzu
• "Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny." — Mahatma Gandhi
• “Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.” ― William Shakespeare
• “People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.” ― Mother Teresa
• "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better." - Samuel Beckett
• "I was never afraid of failure, for I would sooner fail than not be among the best." - John Keats
• "Never look back in regret but to move on to the next thing. The amount of time people waste dwelling on failures rather than putting that energy into another project always amazes me. I have had fun running all of the Virgin businesses, so I never see a setback as bad experience; it is just a learning curve." - Richard Branson
