The Sirscrapalot quote thread..

[Sirscrapalot]

Alright...more quotes.

Today's quoted author was sent to me from a fellow forum member, by the name of Foobar.

Lights, camera..quote!

All of the below are credited to Gordon B. Hinckley

"You can be smart and happy or stupid and miserable. . . it's your choice."

"You have not failed until you quit trying."



"You can't plow a field simply by turning it over in your mind."

"Life is to be enjoyed, not endured"

"I do not have a speech writer. I have only the opportunity to pray and work. When I have concluded today, you may conclude that I should have prayed more and written less."

“Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. The fact is that most putts don’t drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just like people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is just like an old time rail journey … delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.”

"Husbands, love and treasure your wives. They are your most precious possessions. Wives, encourage and pray for your husbands. They need all the help they can get."

Today's quotes are from Nelson Mandela, who passed away yesterday. For those that don't know about the guy. Nelson Mandela - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Read up, he did a lot for his country, human rights, and AIDS/HIV awareness. So I feel he deserves his own quote day.

Enjoy!

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.

For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.

I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man.

Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement.

If there are dreams about a beautiful South Africa, there are also roads that lead to their goal. Two of these roads could be named Goodness and Forgiveness.

Any man or institution that tries to rob me of my dignity will lose.

In countries where innocent people are dying, the leaders are following their blood rather than their brains.

Unlike some politicians, I can admit to a mistake.

A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.

In my country we go to prison first and then become President.

RIP Nelson Mandela 1918 to 2013
