    Inspirational quotes and whatnot

    I think it'd be nice for people to post their favourate quotes and sayings or make up their own.
    Even a bit of life advice would be good the site needs a feel good page

    "You can stick your English football up your @r$e!"... You can quote me on that and probably a lot of other people on this site!

    “This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that’s on my mind tonight’s about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She’s a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.

    “She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn’t vote for two reasons - because she was a woman and because of the colour of her skin.

    “And tonight, I think about all that she’s seen throughout her century in America - the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can’t, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.

    “At a time when women’s voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.

    “When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.

    “When the bombs fell on our harbour and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.

    “She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that ‘We Shall Overcome’. Yes we can.

    “A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.

    “And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.

    “Yes we can.

    “America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves - if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?

    “This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment.

    “This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.

    I've trried, and this is the best I can come up with for "Inspirational Sellotape".

    Some good quotes in it though. Ahem.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    "She held my hand tightly, and gripped me as hard as she could. She said, 'Daddy, I love you very much.' Those were her exact words to me, and those were the last words I ever heard her say. But I bear no ill will. I bear no grudge. Dirty sort of talk is not going to bring her back to life. She was a great wee lassie. She loved her profession. She was a pet. She's dead. She's in heaven and we shall meet again. I will pray for these men tonight and every night."

    -Words spoken by Gordon Wilson to the BBC the day after his daughter Marie was killed by an IRA bomb in Enniskillen.

    I'm not sure if inspirational is the right word, but they are noble words of such dignity that it is hard for me to read them, even today - 22 years later, without being deeply moved.

    Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure, it is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world, there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people dont feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do, its not just in some of us its in everyone. And as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fears our presence automatically liberates others

    you have the right to remain silent
    anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law
    you have the right to an attorney
    if you cannot afford an attorney one will be appointed to you
    do you understand these rights as they have been read to you

    some bird called miranda

    now thems some words that will inspire you

    "Truth is not spoken in anger. Truth is spoken, if it ever comes to be spoken, in love. The gaze of love is not deluded. It sees what is best in the beloved even when what is best in the beloved finds it hard to emerge into the light."

    ''One sure about luck, is that it will change'' - I remember hearing that on some casino gameshow.

    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.
