Everyone has a favorite quoetation that can inspire them to go towards the final goal. What is yours?

My favorite quoetation is:

"life is not measured by the breath you take but rather by the moments that take your breath away"

good one. but that isn't my opinion. I think we should carry more responsibilities in our lives. responsibilities are more important than carpe diem.

why, it actually depends on how you seize the day, doesn't it? it doesn't necessarily mean that you just make fun and adventures every day ;)it means that you shouldn't just sit there and do nothing all the day long, that's wasted time. except you need a relaxing break, of course Laughing

i know many quotations or simply sayings which are very good but also don't always exactly meet my way of thinking. but they are true and good, too.
see:

"For capability there's only one proof - activity"

"The horizon of some people is a circle with radius zero - and they call it their point of view"

"Theory is when you know everything but nothing's working - practice is when everything's working but nobody knows why"

"Democracy bases on three principles: liberty of mind, liberty of speech, and the wisdom not to use any of them."

"One has to know the facts before he can pervert them"

greets Laughing

ps: sorry, i had to translate them so maybe the sentences don't make sense... Wink
