BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Self Development good and bad motivational quotes

LOL, Ian, you are a riot and here's 2 just for you:

"Give a man a fish and he has food for a day; teach him how to fish and you can get rid of him for the entire weekend." Zenna Schaffer (this is exactly why I used to buy my exhusband golf clubs all the time, LOL!!!)

"Marta says the interesting thing about fly-fishing is that it's two lives connected by a thin strand. Come on, Marta. Grow up." Jack Handey

This is my favorite quote on fishing though:

"Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after." Henry David Thoreau

As we are now half an hour into Christmas Day in the UK, here's a quote for XMas:

"He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree." - Roy L. Smith

Hi Ian, Lori & Monica, I didn�t realise there were so many versions of the �fish� quote! (JOY)

"We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want." (Tao te Ching)

I like "Whether you think you can, or you think you cant, you're right"

So true! You believe whatever you tell yourself. (JOY)

I often go back to this Bruce Lee quote:

"Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend."

I always liked:

"Life is what happens while you are out making other plans."

Not so much motivational but a reminder that you can't always control everything.

Hi Asha, great quote! And look how powerful water can be - it erodes away mountains! (JOY)
