Morning Beautiful People! I hope y'all are having a good week so far! :D

I'm thinking of posting a motivational quote everyday, and I have no problem if y'all want to add any quotes.

So here is the first one:
If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person" - Bill Clinton

Soooo, this is supposed to motivate me to......

I feel like this has been said by a disproportionate number of US presidents.

Technically, the quote is saying he didn't have sex with Monica Lewinsky. I would hope the majority of presidents have never had sex with Monica Lewinsky.

I wish y'all could stop bringing this up, lol

"If you live long enough, you'll see that every victory turns into a defeat" by Simone de Beauvoir

Interesting first choice :D Well, the good thing about Clinton is that he wisely created a lot of mistakes to learn from :) If this is a thing, I like Walt Whitman's "Keep your face towards the sunshine and the shadows will fall behind you." In other words, be positive and don't dwell on the past.

"It's not enough that I should succeed—others must fail." - Kevin Chang

 

"Many of life's failures are people who did not know how close they were to success when they gave up." --Thomas Edison

"Falling down is not a failure. Failure comes when you stay where you have fallen." --Socrates

"LOL, fag." --Endmaster

I didn't expect there to be this many quotes so soon, I like them a lot

"Separate yourself from small-minded fools and the weak by recognizing that you have a destiny. This alone gives you the authority to tread where others would fear to go."

"The difference between try and triumph is just a little 'umph'. You got this!"

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain."

"F.A.I.L. stands for 'First Attempt In Learning"

"There's no person in the whole world like you, and I like you just the way you are." - Mister Rogers

"The darkest twilight may seem long, but look up to the stars and wait for the beautiful dawn."

"The secret to doing anything is believing that you can do it. Anything that you believe you can do strong enough, you can do." - Bob Ross

"You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, love like you'll never be hurt, sing like there's nobody listening, and live like it's heaven on earth." - William W. Purkey

"Yes, petting an animal counts as social interaction and you can be proud of it."

 

All of these are from Amaru: The Self-Care Virtual Pet. If you have any scruples with the quotes, take it up with the app, not me.

Ok, I love that y'all are filling this thread up with motivational quotes, however, this thread's purpose is to have a motivational quote for the day, so if y'all send a bunch of quotes in one day, it may lose its purpose to be motivational. It's like making something personal to you, but then someone shared it for the world to see, it would lose its value. So, it may be best to share one quote a day to preserve its impact, post as many quotes as you want, but you may risk its impact to be motivational due to it being drowned out by all the other quotes posted, especially when they are all posted together :D

Unescapable Death ruined it.

Unescapable death tends to ruin things. 

Honestly, UnscapeableDeath did not ruin it. It just so happened that he was the last person to reply

Yeah, sorry about that. I did exhaust my short list of quotes though, so there won't be any more from me for a little while.

Perhaps the best thing would be if you make a list of all the motivational quotes you like, post one daily and people respond to it? :)

Maybe so :)

A valuable lesson in temperance. I feel very motivated.

"I have no life, getting assailed by a thousand black cocks at all hours of the day would require me to go outside. I was lying about being a snowbunny femboy to sound more impressive-- My only pleasure in this life is frogs. I get them delivered to my basement bathroom window via subscription service. Big, black, frogs. Live frogs. I shove them up my ass and whenever the people who moved in after my mom died open the door upstairs I bend over and shoot them out like a cannon. They scream, they weep, they cannot sleep. I hear them pacing around upstairs and getting into arguments. Their family is falling apart but I do what I can to maintain my territory. Ever since the water started leaking in down here I've been breeding bigger and blacker frogs to shove up my ass. It's so deep that the water comes over the toilet bowl, so I've just started pissing and shitting at my computer desk since it all goes to the same place. I have to sleep on a bed made of my dad's inflatable blowup wives that he left behind when he left my mom, shortly after he caught me anal-horking my first garden toad. I glued them together with what little rubber cement I have left-- Most of my rubber cement jars are completely dried out because I used to spend all day huffing their scrumptious glue fumes and jacking off before this new family moved in and started trying to get me out of their basement. The frogs grow fat on the mosquitoes and maggots that infest my turd swamp, and the ceiling has started to sag from the congealed smell withering the beams.

Every day they open the basement door I shart increasingly large frogs at them. We are engaged in a game of chicken that will end our very lives-- This war will end when the family gives up, the house gives way, or my rectum bursts from the sheer volume of writhing frogflesh what has been lodged in my hole, and not a moment sooner."
-Harper

lol

lol

Real.

"Globalize the intifada."

"I eat ass."

"Long... live... the KING!" "AHHHHHHʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰʰ!!!!!"

"Allahu Akbar!! 🧨💥💥💥"

"You are not the father."

Quote by A.A. Milne, the author of Winnie the Pooh

lol, don't tarnish the wholesomeness of my Winnie the Pooh quote with Fight Club.

That being said, I loved fat bob lol, that movie was so good!

I can recognize that image anywhere, it's so distinctive haha. And I guess it proves that not all hugs are the right size, that was really funny.

LOL yes. "Now you cry, Cornelius." His voice was so perfect for that. The size difference certainly is reminiscent of Piglet and Pooh. So indeed, you were always correct.

Honestly, it was the perfect image to respond with lol. I can't think of a better match.

We need more quotes like RKrallonor's :D

I think we need a new quote from Blister to set the theme for the day.

Also, to keep this thread from getting overwhelming spammed, I think it would be best for the rest of us to only on topic quotes that especially resonated or that are especially funny rather than just searching up "quotes about [whatever]" and dumping it.

Not that too many were doing that but it seems good to establish that early. (In other words, please restrain your autism.)

"I tried to drown my sorrows, but the bastards learned how to swim, and now I am overwhelmed by this decent and good feeling." - Frida Kahlo

Morning Beautiful People! I hope everyone has a good day :D

Here's my quote: Always Do Your Best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret. - Don Miguel Ruiz

This becomes much funnier if you assume the old man is using the original meaning of "self-abuse".

Yes, since this is the child's thread, I will try to refrain from commenting on "self-abuse"  

I had to look up the original meaning of self-abuse to understand why it could be funny.

Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.

Not one of all the purple Host
Who took the Flag today
Can tell the definition
So clear of victory

As he defeated – dying –
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Burst agonized and clear!

By Emily Dickenson

Whoops, that wasn't motivational at all!

Not a bad poem :)

And now the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas" will be running through my head all day.

Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendent, and to embrace them is to achieve enlightenment.

Chairman Sheng-ji Yang

“Sometimes I get the feeling the whole world is against me, but deep down I know that's not true. Some smaller countries are neutral. ” ― Robert Orben

"Be wary of those you keep close to you. Never take them fully into your confidence, and never dilute your strength by sharing it."

Every time I start to get worked up over something, I just think to myself, 'Is this really going to matter in my life tomorrow, in an hour, in a year?' You just can't get stressed about the little things 'cause it's just not worth it at the end of the day. - Kylie Jenner

One of the greatest resources people cannot mobilize themselves is that they try to accomplish great things. Most worthwhile achievements are the result of many little things done in a single direction. - Nido Quebin

Just curious, where do you go to find these? Kylie Jenner would not have been my first stop for quotable quotes ngl.

I just search a topic and look at like 100 quotes. I don't normally care who the quote is from

"Free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master."

-Pravin Lal

My favourite one so far, especially with all that goes on in this world.

Good stuff.

“Freedom of expression is the matrix, the indispensable condition, of nearly every other form of freedom.”

—U.S. Supreme Court Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo in Palko v. Connecticut.

"There are two secrets to becoming great. One is never to reveal all that you know."

"White folks was in the caves while we was building empires... We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it."

-Al Sharpton

"The strength to stand alone is the strength to make a stand; to serve a purpose greater than yourself" - Rost, from Horizon: Zero Dawn.

''Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise'' - Benjamin Franklin

I feel called out

"25 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?

28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

- Matthew 6:25-34

Those are good Bible verses :)

2 Timothy 4:1-8 and 16-18
1 I solemnly urge you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who will someday judge the living and the dead when he comes to set up his Kingdom: 2 Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.

3 For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will reject the truth and chase after myths. 5 But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you. 6 As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God. The time of my death is near. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. 8 And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.

16 The first time I was brought before the judge, no one came with me. Everyone abandoned me. May it not be counted against them. 17 But the Lord stood with me and gave me strength so that I might preach the Good News in its entirety for all the Gentiles to hear. And he rescued me from certain death.[b] 18 Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen

I really like verse eighteen here. I'm gonna highlight that one, I think.

oh cool

There are 2 types of people in the world:

1. People who finish lists

I like this one :)

"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." - Mike Tyson

That's a good one!
