Some quotes about TIME:

rather than invest it." Jim Rohn

more time." Jim Rohn

I have some Arabic quotes, I don't know who said them but they're great, I'll translate them for you in English.
لا يمكن للمرء أن يحصل على المعرفة إلا بعد أن يتعـلم كيف يفكر .
The man can't have knowledge unless he know how to think.

The drop of water dug the stone...not with valiance...but with the commutating of falling.

Good quote Believer. I like them to.
"If now considered in the light of liberty, excuse it for the love of poor old days." Charls Dikkens - Great Expectations
"According to my experience, the conventional notion of a lover cannot be always true." Idem
"In a word, it was impossible for me to separate her, in the past or in the present, from the innermost life of my life." Idem
The best of them: "The real love is blind devotion, unquestioning self-humiliation, utter submission,trust and belief against yourself and against the whole world, giving up your hole heart and soul to the smiter" Idem
Oh! life you'r but hell
Oh! hell you'r but in me
When I'v lost your love
I'm lost in an ocean of destiny
Favorite Quotes:
1.".....Since my house to thy house no greater can send,
than thy house to my house-friend comforting friend." (Kipling)
2."....The Pope may launch his interdict,
the union its decree,
But the bubble is blown and the bubble is pricked
by us and such as we.
Remember the battle and stand aside
while thrones and powers confess
that king over all the children of pride,
Is the Press-the Press-the Press." (Kipling)
3."The man that is open of heart to his neighbor,
and stops to consider his likes and dislikes,
his blood shall be wholesome whatever his labour,
his luck shall be with him Whatever he strikes......" (Kipling, of course)
If one man tells you that you look like a jackass, pay him no mind; if two men tell you that you look like a jackass, go out and buy a saddle.
Yiddish Proverb
For the triumph of evil, all it takes is for a few good men to do nothing.
Sir Edmund Burke
It would have to be the following quote by Rene Descartes, though my interpretation of it is alittle different from the original context in which Descartes used it:
"I think therefore I am".
It spells to me the power of our mind, our imagination and thoughts. It tells us how meaningless the concept of the past, present and future is for, as Herman Hesse said in Siddhartha, your mind can take you back to the past, move you to the future or the present. You can relive any moment in the mind.
"Le talent, c'est d'avoir envie."
that would be my favourite one, but I'm afraid I can't remember whose quote it is...('To have a talent for something is merely to have an itch to do it.', I'd translate it)
"Where mind meets matter, both should woo!"Currently reading:
* Paradise Lost by John Milton
Oh my God! I have many favorite quotes...
Work for life on this earth as if you are to live forever, and work for the Other Life as if you are to die tomorrow
Reason is our souls's left hand, faith her right
The bosom can ache beneath diamond brooches.. and many a blithe heart dances under coarse wool
Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go
This thing we call “failure” is not the falling down, but the staying down
We don't see things as they are, we say them as we are
All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen
And many more...
Einstein
I don't know why people are afraid of dying; it's not like you have to worry about breaking your leg.
For the triumph of evil, all it takes is for a few good men to do nothing.
