Optimism

“The point of living and of being an optimist is to be foolish enough to believe the best is yet to come.” ~Peter Ustinov

"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort."- Herm Albright

Optimism is kind of a weird thing to me... I'm not exactly a pessimist or realist but I'm not an optimist either... Sometimes I wonder how people manage to expect that something good will still come when we are in complete despair...

Two again...

“Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.”~ Euripides

“Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.”~ Unknown

Does anyone really need an explanation? 'Cause I think everyone understand these quotes... These are pretty famous quotes. I like both of them. No offence to anyone!

Double post again.. Wait, Triple...

Don't know why I keep forgetting about this... 2 again it seems...

“As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.”~ Leonardo da Vinci

“Think not disdainfully of death, but look on it with favor; for even death is one of the things that Nature wills.”~ Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

Both about death.... Death is supposed to be welcome...Who wants to live forever? Still, people fear it. I've heard another one before...

"Death isn't scary, it's merely the fear of death that makes people scared."~Unknown

I think that quote pretty much explains my thoughts..

GACK!

Just realised I haven't written for almost a week... Mom is so going to be mad... I'll put 2 up today then...

“Life is just one damned thing after another.”~ Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)"

“It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it is one damn thing over and over.”~ Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892 - 1950)

These two are kinda contradicting, ain't they? Somehow, I agree with both.... since both keeps happening to me...

Spending time well

“As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.”~ Leonardo da Vinci

This speaks for itself. I think this quote really has a deep meaning. There are people in this world who waste their time without a second thought, time and life should be cherished as once they're gone, they will never come back.

Dignity

“I too shall lie in the dust when I am dead, but now let me win noble renown.”~ Homer (800 BC - 700 BC), The Iliad

This is saying that although everyone will die, when one is alive, he should still be noble. It is not a wasted effort to be noble as people will remember you, even after your death. I agree with this. One should always carry oneself with dignity and not disrespect others.

Writing

"All I need is a sheet of paper and something to write with, and then I can turn the world upside down." ~Friedrich Nietzsche

This is an unusual one... This quote probably meant that Friedrich Nietzsche was a writer or wanted to be a writer, and his stories can shock the world... I wish I could write a book that could do that...
