I haven't seen a thread for this yet, though I haven't looked through all 32 pages of this particular part of the forum.
Anyway!
Post your favorite quotes. The ones that make you laugh, the ones that give you inspiration, etc. I'll get the ball rolling.
Ballou was riding the circuit in the New Hampshire hills with a Baptist minister one day, arguing theology as they traveled. At one point, the Baptist looked over and said, "Brother Ballou, if I were a Universalist and feared not the fires of hell, I could hit you over the head, steal your horse and saddle, and ride away, and I'd still go to heaven."
Hosea Ballou looked over at him and said, "If you were a Universalist, the idea would never occur to you." - Rev. Elizabeth Strong
Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained; and the restrainer or reason usurps its place & governs the unwilling. And being restrain'd it by degrees becomes passive till it is only the shadow of desire. - William Blake: The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

“Ones best success comes after their greatest disappointments.” - Henry Ward Beecher
“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.” - Colin Powell
"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!" - "Rocky Balboa"(2006)

The inferno of the living is not something that will be; if there is one, it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it. The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of inferno, are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space. (Original in Italian: L'inferno dei viventi non è qualcosa che sarà; se ce n'è uno, è quello che è già qui, l'inferno che abitiamo tutti i giorni, che formiamo stando insieme. Due modi ci sono per non soffrirne. Il primo riesce facile a molti: accettare l'inferno e diventarne parte fino al punto di non vederlo più. Il secondo è rischioso ed esige attenzione e apprendimento continui: cercare e saper riconoscere chi e cosa, in mezzo all'inferno, non è inferno, e farlo durare, e dargli spazio.) - Italo Calvino
Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life. - Oscar Wilde
To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace. (Original in Latin: Auferre, trucidare, rapere, falsis nominibus imperium; atque, ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant.) - Tacitus

"When in doubt, stick it out!" ~Kristin, one of my yoga teachers/best friends, on proper yoga form. Friend: Okay, what did I tell you about kidnapping? Me: It's illegal and rude. "Shoot for the moon, even if you fall, you will land upon the stars" "THIS... IS... SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!" <--- It can always make me laugh.

From my favorite movie, Imagine Me & You:
H: Heck, I've got a question. Tessa: Not now. Heck: What's the question, H? H: What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? Heck: [thinks for a few seconds, then replies] I haven't got a bastard clue, I'm afraid. Tessa: There you are, you see. Now we can let him get married in peace. [She starts to lead H to the church to find a seat for the wedding] Luce: [Catches H before Tessa can take her away completely] It never happens. If there's a thing that can't be stopped, it's not possible for there to be something else which can't be moved, and vice versa. They can't both exist. You see, it's a trick question is the answer. H: [as Tessa leads her to the church] Can she sit with me?
Luce: (about falling in love) I think you know immediately. As soon as your eyes... Then everything that happens from then on just proves that you have been right in that first moment. When you suddenly realize that you were incomplete and now you are whole...
"For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks...the work for which all other work is but preparation."-- Rainer Maria Rilke

From my favorite game series (and the movie) Silent Hill.
Silent Hill (Movie)
"Now the dream of this life must end and so too must the dreamers within it. For over 30 years, they've lied to their own souls. For 30 years, they've denied their own fate. But now is the end of days, and I am the reaper." - Dark Alessa
"Many different forms of justice, Chris. See, you got man's, God's and even the devil's. Certain forms you just can't control." - Officer Thomas Gucci
Silent Hill: Origins.
"The world is stranger than you think." - Dahlia Gillespie
"Come out! Come out! I've got your, your THING for you!" Young girl, no more than 7 years old steps out. "Happy? You've dug up my parents, what now? When do we get to see what's inside YOUR sick little mind?!" - Travis Grady
"You want out? HA! Far too late for that! ...Look, here she comes! Look upon what you have wrought!" - Dahlia
Silent Hill 2
"But how can you say that it is this town that is insane? Perhaps it is we who are insane. Both of us... hopelessly insane." - Ernest Baldwin

Some of my favorite one-liners from tv shows:
Logan: How many episodes of NYPD Blue did you have to watch to get that finger tapping down?
Logan: Mr. Wu sure likes his egg drop soup.
Dick: I just don't know how to quit you man. Shh! It's not you, it's Wu.
Veronica: The hero is the one that stays and the villain is the one that splits.
Veronica: Jealous would involve piano wire.
Tony: Wow in that outfit you could be NCIS cover girl.
Ziva: Tony, you and I come from two totally different places. In my world, you grow up. Fast. You have no choice.
Tony: Define 'lost', McGee. I know exactly where we are. We're between a tree and a bush, and there's a field in sight.
Brenda: If I liked being called a b!tch to my face, I'd still be married.
Provenza: I've waited my whole career to say this: The butler did it.
Provenza: (with a mouth full) Nothing tastes better than somebody else's wedding cake. Mine tasted like prison food.
Chief Pope: (about the video on YouTube) Oh, and congratulations, Chief Johnson! You've just become the most downloaded, fully-clothed woman on the Internet!

"You can love me or hate me, I swear it won't make or break me." ~ Lil Wayne "Girls are like phones. We love to be held and talked to but if you press the wrong button you'll be disconnected! "~ Unknown "If you never flew then why would you cut the wings off a butterfly?"~ DMB♥ "Now that I have my grill, I definitely feel more like a gangsta"~ Kendra Wilkinson. My real favorite quote from her is a little too inappropriate for the board. Hehe. "Gee, I'd love to be friends, but 3OH!3 says not to trust you. "~ Me.
