Inspirerende quotes

[Lukas]

Er zijn een hoop slimme en wijze mensen die een hoop mooie dingen hebben gezegd.

Leek me leuk daar een draadje over te starten, zodat iedereen hier dat soort bronnen van inspiratie kan delen.
Laat me het draadje openen met twee mooitjes:

“The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wise people so full of doubts.” - Bertrand Russell

“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” - George Carlin

[Apotheose92]

“I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers.” ― Kahlil Gibran

Nice ones, Apotheose en Boesboes!

"Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you will look back and realise they were the big things." Kurt Vonnegut

[Kardinaaltje]

People were created to be loved.
Things were created to be used.
The reason why the world is in chaos
Is because things are being loved
And people are being used.

The Holstee Manifesto:

“This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often. If you don’t like your job, quit. If you don’t have enough time, stop watching TV. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. Stop over analyzing, life is simple. All emotions are beautiful. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. Open your mind, arms, and heart to new things and people, we are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them. Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities only come once, seize them. Life is about the people you meet, and the things you create with them so go out and start creating. Life is short. Live your dream and share your passion.”

Ik weet niet van wie hij precies is, maar het helpt me altijd om het egoĂŻsme en de botheid van andere mensen een beetje te relativeren:

"Iedereen is het middelpunt van zijn eigen universum"

[Apotheose92]

-- Dag Hammarskjold,
