Quotes!!!!!

"Shall we make a new rule of life....always to try to be a little kinder than is necessary?" -J.M. Barrie I think that this is such a powerful quote because if *everyone* just tried a little harder to be kind, imagine what a safe, wonderful and *kind* world it would be. 
Do you have a quote that is meaningful to you? If not, find one. Write the quote and then write 6-8 sentences about it. What does it mean to you? Why is it meaningful to you? Does it remind you of anyone or anything? Don't forget to use correct capitalization, punctuation and spelling!

  1. Leaders are made not born~Vince Lombardi This is quote is meaning full to me because I always want to be a leader and I agree with Vince. To be a leader you need to act like a leader and have a good attitude. To accomplish being a leader. If you believe leaders are born not made. The think about this, Yes, they were born where they were being raised to be a leader. Like a prince or princess in a position to be Queen/King. They will not be a try leader on less their attitude is right.

  2. It's kind of fun to do the impossible~Walt Disney. I love this quote because to me it means you can do great things. It Also is trying to get you to step out of your comfort zone. Like how Walt Disney did what everyone thought was impossible, made movies in color instead of black and white. Things start to get fun when you try to do the impossible. I've learned that, but we all do at are own pace. Now doing the impossible is not like getting an A+ on a paper. It's like making the first airplane, first car, or becoming a president of the U.S.A. When you achieve something it makes you feel great about yourself. This quote makes me feel like I can do anything.

  3. Do what is right not what is easy~ Anonymous. This quote is meaning full to me because i think this quote is right. It means don't lie to take the easy way out do what is right.
    This is so true doing what is right is the best way to go. This will be a good thing to do! When you do it right and not wrong it will have its ups and downs. When you do a wrong thing or take the easy way out there will be bad consequences! This an amazing quote!!

  4. "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream."-C. S. Lewis
    This quote is meaningful to me because this means that if your old or young you should never give up on your dreams or to achieve your goals. Your never to old to do something such as achieving your goal or making your dream actually happen. If you set yourself to a goal your guaranteed to make it happen. It may seem crazy but even old people wish to be just like us,kids, to be athletic and go back to school because they miss going to school and being a kid. Even though they can't be a child again, they probably set their goal on being athletic again or going back to school to get an education. Your never to young to achieve your goal. Maybe your goal is to get honor roll this year, if that is your goal you have to work your hardest and never give up. You should always set a goal for yourself and try to achieve it.

  5. "A single rose can be my garden... a single friend my world." - Leo Buscaglia. This quote is very meaningful to me because it is true. You only need a best friend who would stand in front of a train for you. A friend who won't put salt in your wound, but heal it. One single friend can drown out all the bad things in the world and be there for you. This quote shows that you don't need a million friends to be happy, but one. A best friend is one that will help you in times of need, cherish every moment that they have with you, and give you strength to keep going even when times are hard. One best friend means the world to you. Even though my best friend is in Nevada, I know that she will always love me for who I am and cherish every time we visit each other. She means the world to me and is like a sister (but better). I know that I can trust her that she will be my best friend even after death. That is why this quote means the world to me.

  6. "Not caring what people think is the only change I made." That says that even though people may say that something is ugly and you think it's cute or cool, you don't care that they don't like it. I like it because there are a lot of people today that are mean and tell you stuff like they don't like that, just don't care. Don't ever let yourself down because people don't like something. that's there fault. I have a lot of people that don't like what I ware, so what, I like myself for myself. If you don't like something that someone is waring of some sort, don't say anything. Keep It To Your Self. Why would you care why they dress like that or something, doesn't harm you.

  7. "For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future."
    -John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy

    This quote is meaningful to me because instead of looking to the past, or even the present, then you theoretically have their back turned to the future, causing it to come upon you in surprise, meaning you weren't prepared for it. You can't change by focusing on the past or the present. You have to try and incorporate the future consequences into your present decisions. If you don't incorporate the future into your choices, your words, or your actions, the outcome could be catastrophic. You could even lose a girlfriend, or even be invaded by the Soviets. (Meaning John F. Kennedy's choices during term in office) That's the quote I chose, and why it's important.

  8. "Ohana means family, family means no one gets left behind." ~Lilo

    This quote is very meaingful to mean because I love family and they always come first. I would do anything for my family. In my church we are told to love one another. I always try to follow that. Sometimes it's hard because you are mad. But you still love them. I love my ohana!!!

  9. "Never Say Never" and "Believe"
    These quotes are meaningful to me because they tell you to never give up on your dream and believe in yourself. You shouldn't give up on a dream if you didn't try. You shouldn't give up if you didn't accomplish a goal. Just because someone says you aren't going to make it or you can't live your dream, doesn't mean to stop trying. So don't give up in life and accomplish that dream or goal that you have. If you never say never and just believe, you can make it. "Believe in everything because everything's reachable."

  11. "Anyone can say they are brave, but is takes a big person to admit they are afraid." ~Riley Boltz

    I like this quote because, 1. I made it up. AND 2. It's true!
    A lot of people say "Oh, I'm not afraid!" but very few people actually say, "I'm afraid..."
    So many times when you are asked to do something, but you're scared, you'll just end up saying, "Oh, I can do that!" But then farther on in life you'll probably be asked to do it and you'll have to say no.

  12. The simple act of saying' thank you' is a demonstration of gratitude - Simon Mainwaring

    The quote is important because it's true. I think all people in the world should say "thank you". Thank you is a nice word. If you say it to someone it might make them really happy or make them feel great. I think this quote is very awesome. Just because someone dosen't say thank you back to you, you should still say "thank you".

  13. Leaders are not made they are born- Vince Lambardi

    I agree with with vince because you can't be a newborn and have the leadership to lead a army or country. It comes in your personality. I think I am a great leader. Not good enough to lead a country but small things. Like organizing a kickball game. Not all people are leaders but there are just enough to lead every one. Like Jacob said, Even princes or princesses are not born they are taught by there parents. The King/Queen. But leaders do not have to be taught it's just apart of them.

  14. The lesson is you can still make mistakes and still be forgiven.~ Robert Downey Jr.



    I think this is true because nobody is perfect. Even one of the best actors in the world makes a mistake here an there. And I'm sure sometimes it may be frustrating but they forgive. This retains to me because I make a lot of mistakes. At school, sports and even at home. When you mess up just drop it and try again. TRY, TRY, TRY, TRY , and TRY some more.

  15. "Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there"

    -Will Rogers

    This quote is important because if the message it sends. If your on the right road in life, you have to keep moving, no matter what. But if your on the right road, and you stop trying...then you'll end up at a dead end. For example, if you make it in to Harvard University, and you throw that kind of opportunity in the garbage, what then? If you've gone so far in life, and have taken the right path, you've already gone too far too just give up. This is truly a powerful quote!

  16. "Believe you can and your halfway there" Theodore Roosevelt
    This is my quote because attitude helps at goals. If you sit and think you can't make it, you need to believe. This quote helps me with my goal of getting straight A's. I have to have a good attitude to make it all the way. This year I will make my attitude better. That is why I choose this quote.

  17. I like the quote, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". This is known as the "Golden Rule". This quote is sort of like the one that you said you thought was a good one. What the quote that I have chosen is saying is that you should treat others as you would like to be treated. This applies to everyone...no matter what your age is, no matter what your job is, and no matter who you are. If you you want to be treated with kindness and with respect, you must also treat others with kindness and respect. If you do not do this, then how can you expect others to treat you with respect or kindness. I think the "Golden Rule" is one that we should all try to live by.

  18. "Get on with life, because life gets on without you."
    ~Zayn Malik (1D)

    I think this quote really means a lot to me. The quote means to enjoy life while you have it because you never know when it will get taken away. I think this quote is very special,and important. I think everyone should live by this quote and "live like your dying" because everyone should enjoy life while they have it. For example like the 8 year old boy got killed by the bombing, which was very tragic. Also how people die from committing suicide to themselfs. I just believe that this is a really meaningful quote.

  19. "No one is afraid of heights, they are afraid of the fall. No one is afraid of the dark, they are afraid of whats in it. No one is afraid to play, they are afraid to loose."
    ~ ME!!! Makenna
    I think this quote means a lot to me because it helps me in life. It made me relize that you aren't really afraid of anything, you just trick youself into being scared. It helps me A LOT in gymnastics. I am not afraid to do the susoine, I am afraid of splitting the beam, then hitting my chest then pass out on the floor. I am not afraid of doing the round-off backhand spring layout, I am afraid to fall on my neck and be paralized! This is why this quote means a lot to me!

  20. "How the player plays the game shows some of his character, how a player loses shows all of it," is a quote that means very much to me. When I was younger I could never find a sport that suited me. I was also probably the biggest sore loser on the planet. I just hated myself if I couldn't get something right away and usually ended up quiting. I usually recently found soccer as my sport and I'm sticking with it. I still have trouble with this even now, but I just remember the saying and calm down.

  21. My favorite quote is "a frog in a well doesn't know the big sea." ("He that stays in the valley shall never get over the hill.") Because before I came to USA, I didn't know where is Arizona and I didn't know how to speak English. I didn't know almost every thing about USA. But after I came to USA, I knew USA is awsome country. I was surprized by the size of the USA. So I thought if I were a frog, well is japan, and the big sea is USA.

  22. I learned my favorite quote from one of my favorite video games and this is the quote: "Our life is made by the death of others." ~Leonardo Da Vinci. This quote means that our daily lives are built on the accomplishments of those who came before us. When I first read this quote on my t.v screen, I thought it was really interesting. I thought it meant that when people who are close to us die, it changes our lives, so when I found out what Da Vinci really meant I thought It was pretty cool. I also realized why they put that quote in my video game. It is because the main character in the game has to do all these crazy things because of his ancestors. I thought Davinci's quote was so unique that I will look up more of his famous quotes.

  23. An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evi friend wil wound your mind. I like this quote because it shows the true meaning of friendship. How you might ask well if a friend is evil he or she is not really a good friend at all. It also shows me that you can't let them hurt you bot a beast or an evil being. Last it shows me that what you feel on the inside is more important than what you feel on the outside you can not be afraid to show your expressions.

  24. "Live each day as it's your last." -I don't know. This quote means so much to me. I created this in my mind but I don't know who originally wrote it. But it's true. You should live life adventurous, fun, ecstatic. However you like living each day as its you're last. Because that's how I live mine.

  25. "Leaders are not born, they are made."-Vince Lambardi

    I like this quote because it gives you inspiration to try hard to show what is right and what is wrong. It shows that you can't be born a leader, but you can become a leader by hard work and effort. Also, it gives you hope that you aren't worthless and that you can turn everything around by trying your hardest.

  27. "The only thing to fear is fear itself." -Franklin Roosevelt

    This quote is meaningful to me because you have to try new things and don't be afraid. It is inspirational because don't be afraid of anything. Fear is the only thing that people are afraid of. You should live life and not be afraid. If you are, you'll just live your live in a dark corner. Try new things and don't be afraid!

  28. "You miss 100 percent of shots you never take."Wayne Gretzky

    I think that this is really inspiration to learn to test and do your best. It is also good for thoughts people that do not even try. If you in baseball you will never get a hit if you don't try. They all haft to do with this. I will from now on do as this and use this for the rest of my life.

  29. " If you wanna go somewhere, nothing is stopping you, you can do it!

    Louis Tommilson

    I love this quote! I do because sometimes I will think I really want to try this but I dont think I'll be able to. This quote pushes me to try harder. Especially because its by someone who went after his dreams no matter how scary they were! Now he performs with confidence and performs in front of thousands of people! wow I dont know if I could do that. This quote is very important to me, I even have it on my wall! I look at and think, Maybe I will try something spontanious today!

  30. "Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy." -Ludwig Beethoven

    This quote means a lot to me. It does because, not only is it said by one of the most famous, AMAZING musicians who ever lived, but it really tells the importance of music. Music has always been a humongous part of my life ever since I was a baby. My mom actually has a picture of me when i was like one with my headphones in listening to my favorite song, Angel by Shaggy. He was some kind of Jazz or Reggae kind of musician but the minute after i was born that song came on the radio so my mom calls me her angel. Also, Music got me through a lot of tough times like when my dad died and when i was being bullied. Music just kid of took me away from the world. That is why I love and live by this quote.

  34. "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on." -Robert Frost

    I really like this quote because it means that no matter what happens, the world keeps spinning. Everything bad will pass eventually. You just have to stay strong and keep your head up. I've had bad moments in my life, it seems that I could never get out of it, but I did. Just think about it: while you here might have a problem with your life there are about 7 million other people that have problems, too. But, life goes on. You have to move on. Do other things. The world doesn't just stop because you have a problem, although to you it might seem like it, but life goes on, no matter what.

  35. "Why fit in when you were born to stand out?" -Dr.Seuss

    I really like this quote because it basicly means what is says. It is very simple. It means to just be yourself. Don't try to be others when you were meant to be you. You are a unique person and you were meant to be different and stand out. It is meaningful to me because it is writen by one of my favorite authors. I hope this quote means as much to you then it does to me.
