Its the same thing, but to phrase it a little differently, "Silence is the true friend that never betrays." I believe that is Confucius. Also just thought of another one. I don't know if I should just edit my first post if any others pop in my head in the future. Perhaps someone could explain shard etiquette? Anyways I love a good story and have been known to embellish facts to make it more fun. So this is one I made up and have been using for years: "Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story."

ryshadium90 Posted July 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 These are all such good quotes! I need to write more stories now. But now I need to wait a day to give everyone upvotes. Oh well. Another one of my favorites was someone quoting a bumper sticker: Don't judge me because I sin differently than you. (Dieter F. Uchtdorf anyone?) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll find that even if you drop everything to help, there are times which, for whatever reason, these same people won't come through for you. That's why backup plans are essential!

Hood Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 There is a very old quote from Bhagwat Geeta which in my opinion is the most popular quote in India. It goes like this: "Karm karo. Phal ki chinta mat rakho". Roughly translated (as translations go): "Do your own duty. Don't get anxious about the result". My other favourite is from Jean Jacques Rousseau. It is "Nature never deceives us; it is always we who deceive ourselves." I find it true in most situations. Finally, no quote spree is complete without a gem of wisdom from The Lies of Locke Lamora (gods, I LOVE THIS BOOK). It is from the prologue, where the narrator says "An old Camorri proverb has it that the only constant in the soul of man is inconstancy; anything and everything else can pass out as fashion - even something as utilitarian as a hill stuffed full of corpses" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calderis Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 People will tell you that they want the truth. They will believe it when they speak these words. People who actually seek truth are rare. Most believe they want truth but what they really seek is assurance that what they already believe is true. Real truth is devastating. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegatorgirl00 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 "Peace occurs when the power of love is greater than the love of power." This was said once by a guy I went to Sunday School with six years ago, and I still remember it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryshadium90 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 My Young Womens teacher once taught the class that we forgive/apologize to others because we care about the relationship between us. That's got me through so many arguments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erandeni Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 When people tell you what to do just smile and nod, and then do what you want anyways. If you want to gain something you'll need to sacrifice something... generally something of greater value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverblade5 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Structure and rules foster dependability; chaos creates unforeseen setbacks and missed deadlines. Opinions are opinions and facts are facts Either something’s been done right or it’s been done wrong, and sugarcoating it or walking away isn’t going to fix it.
