Here's my two for the day

"Life isn't about what you get from the world but what you give"

"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out"
 
"Hold your child's hand every chance you get, because the time will come too soon when you can't."
 
I have two;

"In skating over thin ice our safety is in our speed."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Fear is no friend of mine, but a sworn enemy that tries to keep me from doing the right thing; however, I will never listen to fear and this helps me from fearing fear itself."

Here's one from my grandfather....he was a very strict disciplinarian....

"A hard head makes a Flabby Ass"

Hence, he had an old time razor strap (all leather), used to sharpen his razors....and used it on our arses.
 
My father had one to get us all in line if we fought at the table.

"Sit down, shut up or get out!!"
 
From the book Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince):
"Voici mon secret. Il est très simple: on ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."
which means....
"Here is my secret. It is very simple: It's only with the heart that one can see well. The essential things in life are invisible to the eyes."

From Adrienne Rich:
"The first thing I want to say to you who are students is that you cannot afford to think of being here to receive an education; you will do much better to think of yourselves as being here to claim one. One of the dictionary definitions of the verb "to claim" is to take as the rightful owner; to assert in the face of possible contradiction. "To receive" is to come into possession of; to act as receptacle or container for; to accept as authoritative or true."
 
My favorite quotes aren't really wisdom quotes, more like humor quotes.

Some people are like slinkies... Not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs (I have this as my signature in a lot of forums, might be on this one too)

Johnny Depp is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

Do you think Johnny Depp lets people touch his face?

Mares are from Venus, Stallions are from Mars, and Geldings are from Heaven.

I don't think people should run unless they're being chased.
