Inspirational Sayings

I created this thread for people to share Inspirational sayings/proverbs to spread wisdom around the world. If you want to share what you think is the meaning of them with others it is up to you.

I will start with this: " The fool is not the one who makes mistakes, the fool is the one who never makes a mistake".

Why did you have to go and ruin this great thread with all this spam?

"The greatest thing we have accomplished, is that workers no longer have to stand with their hats in their hands while talking to their employers."
~Einar Gerhardsen, leader of the Norwegian Labour Party and Prime Minister for over a decade.

[edit. Note to people with little knowledge of these things: The saying "to stand with your hat in your hand" means that the "hat-holder" showed his submission and inferiority to the guy he removed his hat for...]

"Occasionally in life, there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words. Their meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart. We must learn to live together as brothers, or perish together as fools."
(Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.)

A terrific quote, brought to my attention by who else? Michael Stipe.

Actually it means that you are unhappy because you are unable to forgive. "Forgivness is the key".

i like this saying

Never seem more learned than the people you are with. Wear your learning like a pocket watch and keep it hidden. Do not pull it out to count the hours, but give the time when you are asked

Lord Chesterfield (1694 - 1773)

i also like this saying

you can lead a horse to water but you cant make it enjoy the view

thats what this place is for right, good quotes?

"it doesnt matter if the glass is half empty or half full, it will be completely empty in the end, then completely refilled later."

meaning: negativity and positivity are only temporary and change over time as the mood changes, so dont try to be optimistic/pessimistic, it'll just come naturally.

Forget the adage about learning from your own misstakes, itīs much wiser and entertaining to learn from the misstakes of others.
