MrsW2b, 14 February, 2010 at 23:47 Posted on Planning 0 29

I read this by the lovely Marilyn Monroe, and it rings true..lately Ive felt like im surrounded by very bitchy people and I think this quotes really sums up alot... "Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." Whats your fave quote? x

    I got a card sent through last week from my best mate cos I got a new job that says on the front:

    Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes.

    (Maud van de Venne)

    I like that - I'm getting it framed! I love my shoes. Another one I have in a frame is one from Carrie in Sex & The City: It's not always easy being single, but wearing good shoes while you do helps.

    ?

    I love Chocolate Pickle's - one of my favourites is very similar:

    Serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace amid the storm.

    I also love this photography quote, which has proved to be so true for me:

    "The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera."
    Dorothea Lange

    I really like this one!

    One of my favourite quotes which I saw on a postcard once is "Remember, you are unique... just like everyone else".

    I seriously considered getting this as a tattoo as I love this quote:

    perfer et obdura; dolor hic tibi proderit olim

    It means 'Be patient and tough; some day this pain will be useful to you'

    We have "quote of the Day" on the intranet at work and i found it funny that they had put on their "The higher up the ladder you climb, the more difficult it is to see whats happening at ground level." Too true!! especially when management come up with ridiculous ideas that anyone on the ground floor will know won't work!!

    i also like: "a bend in the road is not the end of the road, unless you fail to make the turning"

    This is pretty much my life mantra, I have never had specific plans and like to see where the wind takes me.

    There is a church near me that puts up new quotes on their billboard at the side of the road and even tho I am v sceptical about religion the quotes are always thought provoking this weeks one is very apt considering my recent experiences with some of my friends

    'some people moan about too many thorns amongst the roses, others say thank god for the few roses amongst the many thorns'

    I like this one!! Once Ive lost all the weight I want to (about 7 stone in total) Im thinking of having an inspirational quote tatooed on me somewhere 2, something along the lines of: climb every mountain in front of you - then look down at the view (trust me 7 stone is a HELL of a mountain!!!! lol)

    My friend used to have this one on her desk at work... made me smile!

    "Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and b****-slap the <insert appropriate evil name here> upside the head."

    Another one I love is also from Sex In the City (that film has some very good quotes!)... This one I love.. "Some women arent meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free until they can find someone just as wild to run with them"

    Live every day like it will be your last because one day you'll be right.

    No regrets because the things you did made you the person you are today.
