:smile: I have observed some interesting quotes on this site.
Thought it might be fun to share some of your favorites.

Here are some quotations about quotations:

"Quotations help us remember the simple yet profound truths
that give life perspective and meaning." - Criswell Freeman

"The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages
are perpetuated by quotations." - Benjamin Disraeli

"I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have,
beautifully expressed with much authority by someone
recognized wiser than oneself." - Marlene Dietrich

Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers.
Pray for power equal to your tasks."

Thank you for the additions. (I enjoy collecting quotes.)

"To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom;
and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares;
but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not."

“The deadlift is more functional in that it’s very hard to imagine a more useful application of strength than picking heavy shit up off the ground.“

"Beneath a bronze sky, a horizon in flames. The oceans boil, the earth heaves and seethes. There's a new sun rising that has not risen for thousands of years. Prophets have written, songs have been sung; we have a arisen, a new age has begun. And we shall spirit the earth aflame. Spirit the earth aflame." - A.A. Nemtheanga

"You told me again you preferred handsome men
but for me you would make an exception.
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
you fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind,
we are ugly but we have the music."
- Sincerely, L. Cohen

"Youth is not a time of life—it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of red cheeks, red lips and supple knees. It is a temper of the will; a quality of the imagination; a vigor of the emotions; it is a freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a tempermental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over a life of ease. This often exists in a man of fifty, more than in a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years; people grow old by deserting their ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair—these are the long, long years that bow the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust. Whether seventy or sixteen, there is in every being’s heart a love of wonder; the sweet amazement at the stars and starlike things and thoughts; the undaunted challenge of events, the unfailing childlike appetite for what comes next, and the joy in the game of life. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear, as young as your hope, as old as your despair. In the central place of your heart there is a wireless station. So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, grandeur, courage, and power from the earth, from men and from the Infinite—so long are you young. When the wires are all down and the central places of your heart are covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then are you grown old, indeed!"
-- Samuel Ullman (1840–1924)

Thanks for the additions to my list. :wave2:

"When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food, and the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies with yourself." - Tecumseh

they are just as you are, sacred, precious,
and worthy of being treated as such.” ― Martin Suarez
