My favourite one: "Two little mice fell into a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned but the second mouse... he struggled so hard that he eventually turned that cream into butter. And he walked out"

For me it means that we never have to give up even in most desperate and final situations. If you give up you are likely to fail but if you struggle and sweat to achieve something you will eventually make it. That is why I have never envied those who took the easy path....

    My favourite quote is:'Regrets are a waste of time. They're the past crippling you in the present.'
    In my opinion it means that every time you take a big risk in life,you think of consequences and once with them appear regrets but focusing only on their,you lose the essence and the present pass away.

    My favorite one: "Be whoever you want to be!"
    For me it means that, in life, you decide what you wanna be and wich way you choose in life. No one can sculpt your personality, you have to make it on your own, in the way that you feel it`s rite.

    My favourite quote is:"A friend in need,is a friend indeed!"

    Everyone has a lot of friends around, but a real friend it's very hard to find, and we know that very well.And a real friend helps you when you really need it because that's what the truly matters.

    This quote is the cutest I ever heard but also the most expressive quote about fighting and not giving up. If you decide to do something, than do it for yourself and don't stop until you reach your dream. If you have enough ambition and you work for it, finally you "will make the cream into butter" as the little mice.

    My favourite quote is: "Don't look back and grieve over the past, it's gone. Don't be troubled about the future, it hasn't come yet. Live in the present and make it so beautiful that it's worth remembering."

    This quote reflects the truth. If you think about just the past, you will ruin your present. And if you worry about the future, you will loose all those moments that present offers you. But if you live in the present and make it beautiful you will have all those memories that are worth remembering.

    My favorite quote is Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure."
    This basically means that you should try to accomplish your dreams, because you might regret later not trying.

    This quote is the cutest I have ever heard about life and about not giving up. I do think that if we do something, than we shouldn't stop until we reach our purpose. And if we struggle enough we can 'make the cream in butter', just like the littel mice did.

    My favorite quote is "Everything that has a beginning ...has an end"
    This quote reminds me that all we do,all we have,all we achieve in life has an end.And it would only depend on us if this end is a happy one or a bad one.

    My favorite quote is "WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAS A BEGINNING AND AN ENDING" No matter how nice was something sometime, one day it will be over and that will hurt and the wounds will heal slower. However, we have to be stronger and fight to start over. We have to fight with the new challenges and get around with other attempts that will come.

    Ramona,
    you can just look it up. It is always 'right' as in all right. Rite means ritual, ceremony, so you see how important spelling is?

    Also, you always spell WHICH with an h, actually all question words are spelt with an h: what, where, when, who, which....

    "Shut up, listen and learn"


    That's my favorite quote, because if you don't know what it is about, you shouldn't make a scene just because you are famous.You have to listen so that you can learn and speak next time. If you speak something and you don't realise what you say people can laugh at you!

    My favourite quotes are "We must not expect happiness, it is not something we deserve" and "you can not say to the Sun: or to the rain " from Memoirs of a Geisha. Though they both have a sad note I find their meaning beautiful. They suggest that you must take what you receive in life and rejoice in that. Enjoy every bit of sun that you can gather, take advantage of little things, that is all the happiness you will get in this life... but it's also just how much you need.

    My favorite quote is "You are what you choose to be...you choose!" because no one can tell you what to be,only you can choose who you are;it's impossible for someone else to choose in your place

    My favorite quote is: "It's not important to win, it's important to make your opponent to lose" because of my competitive nature I think that this one suites me the best. My opinion is that winning is everything, but if you can't win, you can at least do everything possible to make your opponent to lose.

    My favourite quote from the film is:" Death smiles at us all. The best you can do is smile back". The only ones that live forever are the ones that play against the rules and defy everyone's expectations, because without taking a risk you can never acomplish something great...

    “You are what you choose to be”. This is my favorite quote. In the real life we are always put in the position to choose what our actions will be. How we would react to different situations. Can we manage a difficult situation? Can we joy with sobriety in euphorically ones? Ideal would be to maintain a middle kind of expression.. “we are what we choose to be”, and this should be on our brain when we look back in our life, most important knowing that we are responsible of our happiness, realizations, but also for our misfortunes or slip-ups.

    My favorite quote is: "You are fully capable deciding your own destiny" because it is a true situation. If we consider that God is the one who decides our destiny, we also have to think at that Romanian saying that God gives you but He doesn't put it in your bag and that He gave us the power of choosing between good and bad. So we have the power and all we need is to find what is best for us and to take the corresponding decisions and therefore to decide our own destiny.

    My favorite quote is : "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop to look around once in a while, you could miss it"

    In my opinion it means that life moves really fast and if you don't stop to enjoy the little things you could miss them and never see it again. We all need to take time to stop and look around.

    MY favorit quote is:"When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us."

    For me it means that we have to never give up even life is so cruel sometimes.You must to fight for what you want in your life as an animal who fights for his meal.

    My favorite quote is "Everything that has a beginning has… an end ." Unfortunately, everything that starts also ends. We must seize every moment, not to regret later. I try to make happy the person next to me and take advantage of good times together. Enjoy every moment of life, we do not have another life ..

    My favourite quote is : “Happiness is an extraordinary thing, the more you give, the more you get.” This quote means a lot to me because it is a true fact that when you try to bring sunshine in the lives of the others,you somehow bring to yourself too.

    "because we are mortal, because every moment might be our last, everything is more beautiful because we are doomed, you will never be lovelier then you are now, we will never be here again."

    For me it means that even thou we are mortal and every moment might be our last, we have the chance of truly enjoying the present.

    To see the beauty of today and not to think of tomorrow. To know that this moment is unique and it will never gonna come again.

    So let us invest in every moment that we have, let's put love, faith and trust in the people around us and then "life is more beautiful because we are doomed"
