    I made my own quote so it's now my favorite. "If you cannot have a happy ending, go ahead and write one for yourself." It applies to most aspects of my life especially with my love life. Since I cannot find my happily ever after, I just write a novel about it. Actually, I can write as much as I want. That makes life a little easier. Anyone can write their own story and make it an epic one.

    There are more quotes that can inspire us whenever we are feeling down. Maybe it's because we feel as if that person created it for us and telling us to keep on fighting. Whenever I feel low, I just go ahead and find quotes that can inspire me. But my personal favorite quote from another person is the quote that says, "Learn how to dance in the rain and you don't have to wait too long for the sunshine to come." That's from a mug that I've got from the local shop around here.

    For me, I always use this phrase: 'Don't judge a man with least wrinkles on his forehead.' Some people are judgmental to people who have good physical attributes and it should not be.

    My favorite quote for me comes from a Man of God I really respect for many Years and His name is Aw Tozer his quote
    God never hurries. There are no deadline
    Against which He must work only to Know this is to quiet our spirit and relax Our nerves.

    The other is to be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men.

    My favorite quote is "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take." I know this quote is so basic and cliche, but that is why it appeals to me. There is no getting around the quote because it is absolutely true. Even though the quote is meant for soccer players, it can also be implemented in everyday life. Essentially, the quote means if you want something, you have to go get it, you have to strive for it or take the "shot". If you just sit back hoping for things to magically happen, chances are you will not get the results you seek.

    My favorite quote isn't necessarily positive or uplifting in fact, it's quite the opposite, but i love the message it sends. The quote is by G.K. Chesterton: "Fairy tales don't tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed". It's such a powerful message and it shows that the stories we hear always have a double meaning behind all the happy endings. In fact, very few characters in stories end up with a happy ending, we're just very good at ignoring all the secondary characters who lost everything so that the main characters could succeed.

    My favorite quote is “I think, therefore I am" coined by the French philosopher René Descartes. Descarte used this to argue that "whenever he thinks, he exists." It's simple and short but I love how it empowers man as a thinking being. How powerful thoughts can be for a person to achieve his/her goals and purpose- only if he/ she realizes it.
