I love Gandhi quotes..
Hatred ever kills, love never dies such is the vast difference between the two. What is obtained by love is retained for all time. What is obtained by hatred proves a burden in reality for it increases hatred.
It may be long before the law of love will be recognised in international affairs. The machineries of government stand between and hide the hearts of one people from those of another.
Whenever I see an erring man, I say to myself I have also erred; when I see a lustful man I say to myself, so was I once; and in this way I feel kinship with everyone in the world and feel that I cannot be happy without the humblest of us being happy.
-Gandhi
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. -Aristotle
Cowards die many times before their deaths, The valiant never taste of death but once. -Shakespeare
Ignorance is the night of the mind, but a night without moon and star.
Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes.
Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.
He who will not economize will have to agonize.
It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop. -Confucius
Anyone who is capable of getting themselves into a position of power should on no account be allowed to do the job.
He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
Life... is like a grapefruit. It's orange and squishy, and has a few pips in it, and some folks have half a one for breakfast. -Douglas Adams

"It's deja vu all over again." -Yogi Berra
I can garuntee you've all heard my favorite quote. But I can also garuntee most of you haven't looked into it as far as I have. Hint #1: Shakespeare. Hint #2: Hamlet. OK, if that didn't do it for you, here it is: "To be, or not to be, that is the question." But think. Daily we are forced to pretend to be someone else. To hide our true identity. It is almost a perfect representation of human society. That is why is is my favorite quote.

Ganked from Revelations: Persona. Be your true mind.
"I dreamt I was a butterfly. I didn’t know I was dreaming, but when I woke up, I was I and not a butterfly. Was I dreaming that I was the butterfly, or was the butterfly dreaming that it was me? Even if there’s a difference between the butterfly and I, the distinction isn’t absolute, and there is no relationship of cause and effect.
~Soshi"

Hm. I like:

-Arthur Schopenhauer
"Problems are only opportunities in work clothes."
-Henry J. Kaiser
"The great question...which I have not been able to answer, despite my thirty years into the feminine soul, is 'What do women want?'"
-Sigmund Freud

And the one by Jewel.......
" Many people pray in this world for peace. But if praying were enough, it would have come to be."
Or something like that.

Yeah Brian that quote is Hamlet considering suicide.
To die, to sleep- no more, and by a sleep to say we end the heartache and thousand natural shocks flesh is heir to.
I have to memorize his speech for Monday.. tomorrow.. crap. Eh, I have some favorite quotes but as my mom is yelling at me to go to church I'll have to type them later.
