Positive Quote

[hijodeganas]

I noticed this thread, which I think is fantastic, but I didn't see much other than happy birthday notices.

I think happy birthday notices are great. I love them. But I'm wondering what else can be done to add some optimism to people's lives.

Many people here have great quotes as their signatures. Why not make a thread about them? I'll try to remember to post one positive or uplifting quote a week. Feel free to add along, please.

Nothing lasts forever, so live it up, drink it down, laugh it off, avoid the bullshit, take chances, & never have regrets, because at one point, everything you did was exactly what you wanted.


I use the above as a sig line on message boards, but haven't gotten around to putting on my sig line here.

You must not be a fan of Tillich then.

To me it means that being alone can be painful or glorious, depending on how you choose to look at it.
