FAVOURITE QUOTES!

again, the title says it all, what quotes changed your life? or mean something to you, it can be famous or not, as long as you put who its by i have plenty, but here are my top four

“This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
― Marilyn Monroe

“I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel...”
― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

“...if I see but one smile on your lips when we meet, occasioned by this or any other exertion of mine, I shall need no other happiness.”
― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

“It is true, we shall be monsters, cut off from all the world; but on that account we shall be more attached to one another.”
― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

"esse quam videri"

Latin for "to be not to seem to be"

My favourite by far!

Only one I love credited to someone is this;

"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Have you tried turning it on and off again" those guys in The IT crowd (and basically anyone in IT having to do family support)

or a variation "lets reboot the server, nobody will notice...." me. Quite often.

I thought I had heard all Churchill's humour, obviously not!
