The words are attributed to social activist and former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, but there is no solid supporting citation. |

"Reads like one of them dull 'life quotes' that people like to hang on their walls printed on naff signs
It does. I think I am not intellectual enough to think anything more than that."
I strongly dislike them there signs hanging in people's homes. Sometimes we go in a house and it looks like they've literally bought every one they've ever seen regardless of what it says and hung them all over their kitchen |

God I hate that quote. It just reminds me of stoners who don't participate in politics or read the news but think they're deep for wanting to build utopia on the moon. |

By it's own standard its a quote from a small minded person for other small minded people.
Comes across as the usual self gratifying cliche |

Love like you've never been hurt
Dance like there's no one watching
Work like you don't need the money
And fuck like you're being filmed
Put that on a piece of wood with string on it, see who outs that in the kitchen  |

But I do like this one too:
Carl Sagan “The Cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the Cosmos stir us — there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation as if a distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries.” |

There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded. |

Sagan was so great you could literally pick anything he said and make it a quote |

"You can take a horticulture but you cannot make her think..
.
. Dorothy Parker
* You can take a whore to culture but you can't make her think "
You may also know Dorothy from some of these classic one-liners:
.
Brevity is the soul of lingerie.
If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.
That would be a good thing for them to cut on my tombstone: Wherever she went, including here, it was against her better judgment.
I like to have a martini, Two at the very most. After three I'm under the table, after four I'm under my host.
Résumé Razors pain you, Rivers are damp, Acids stain you, And drugs cause cramp. Guns aren't lawful, Nooses give, Gas smells awful. You might as well live.
Four be the things I'd have been better without: love, curiosity, freckles and doubt.
I require three things in a man: he must be handsome, ruthless, and stupid.
If I didn't care for fun and such, I'd probably amount to much. But I shall stay the way I am, Because I do not give a damn.

My favourite quote -
"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral,
begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy.
Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it.
Through violence you may murder the liar,
but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth.
Through violence you may murder the hater,
but you do not murder hate.
In fact, violence merely increases hate.
So it goes.
Returning violence for violence multiplies violence,
adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that".
Martin Luther King Jr |

The most important thing in an argument, next to being right, is to leave an escape hatch for your opponent, so that he can gracefully swing over to your side without too much apparent loss of face.

For me the world is weird because it is stupendous, awesome, mysterious, unfathomable; my interest has been to convince you that you must assume responsibility for being here, in this marvellous world, in this marvellous desert, in this marvellous time. I wanted to convince you that you must make every act count, since you are going to be here for only a short while; in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it” Don Juan to Carlos Castaneda, Journeys to Ixtlan |

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'! Audrey Hepburn
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. Terry Pratchett
