Yet another Timewalking loot post ( As directed by GM)

Just any quotes you have that have made an impact on your life. Cheesy enough as it is, I got mine from one of those motivational posters at my old school:
"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."
Now, every time I have an opportunity I might be anxious about, I just think of this quote, and bad idea or not I go for it (with normally positive results). How about you guys? Also on a side note, if you have issues asking out girls, just go for it because, as this quote says, you will never be with her if you don't ask.

"Do, or do not; there is no try."
and
"Once you have experienced excellence, you will never again be content with mediocrity."
For better or worse, they have both made a giant impact on my life.

Fuck quotes. Improvise as you go.
(It'll be ironic if someone quotes this)

"Worrying is like a rocking chair, something to do but doesn't get you anywhere" Van Wilder
Actually rings true, no point spending your time worrying about what might happen, go do something about it!

Be yourself; everybody else is already taken.
Forget where i found this. I hate fake people that go with the flow.

2011-10-31, 11:36 AM #10DeletedThis, also! I can't agree more with you. People who spend their time telling how hard something is, or how bad it is - how we should pity them.. Can't stand them. Originally Posted by Reape

I'm not a fan of pretended profoundness because you follow a supposedly meaningful or non-obvious quote. So yeah, what you wrote. Originally Posted by Knight Gil

A quote I made myself in highschool to sound smarter towards my teachers when I used to talkback a lot.

Are you me? I mean no jokes here, I said almost the exact same thing in High School and even now on occasion. For me it was inspired by the classic extra terrestrial quote, "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.". So seriously, are you me? Originally Posted by krethos
For me the quote varied but I don't think I ever put it in a quote context using average man and smart man but rather would say things like "You answered the question, I questioned your answer.", with a few variances.

“Death is the only wise advisor that we have. Whenever you feel, as you always do, that everything is going wrong and you're about to be annihilated, turn to your death and ask if that is so. Your death will tell you that you're wrong; that nothing really matters outside its touch. Your death will tell you, 'I haven't touched you yet.”
Really helps to stop worrying about petty and insignificant things.
Those were the most important books I've ever read in my life: http://www.goodreads.com/author/quot...rlos_Castaneda

It's not like I live by it, but a nice quote I really believe in something I believe to be an old buddhist monk quote.

It is the wiseman that points to the moon. It is the idiot who looks at the finger.
