"Seize the moment, because tomorrow you might be dead."
I've lost so many people in my life that died before 30. So this quote definitely has stuck with me and made me want to take every opportunity that I can.
My favorite quote of all time, “It’s better to remain silent and appear to be a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.”
There is some question as to the origin. Both Abraham Lincoln and Mark Twain have been credited, some think inaccurately. The earliest written version is found in the Christian bible, but it’s not a direct quote.
My favorite movie quote is difficult to nail down. Most of my favorite fun ones are from “The Big Lebowski”. When i want to express that i absolutely do not give a f*ck about something, i say “The Dude abides”.
When someone is getting really worked up about something silly, i say “That’s just like… your opinion, man.”. 😂😂
I have hundreds, literally, written down in some notebooks. I’m quite the quote nerd.
This response wouldn’t be complete without one from my favorite movie of all time.
Better to hear it than to read it, i think.
That's one of my favorites as well.
Some might consider it a monologue, but it’s a very quotable monologue!
This is from the TV show Baretta.
"Truth is like a dead skunk in the middle of the street. You can walk away from it, but it still stinks"
That's a good one.
You're welcome! 😊
One of the quotes that has always stood out to me is from "Dead Poets Society": "Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary." 🌟 It's a powerful reminder of the importance of making the most of every moment and pursuing life with passion and zest. This quote, like Buffy's, underscores the urgency of appreciating life today.✨

Harold Finch: On chess.
"It's a useful mental exercise. Through the years, many thinkers have been fascinated by it. But I don't enjoy playing... Because it was a game that was born during a brutal age when life counted for little. Everyone believed that some people were worth more than others. Kings. Pawns. I don't think that anyone is worth more than anyone else... Chess is just a game. Real people are not pieces. You can't assign more value to some of them and not others. Not to me. Not to anyone. People are not a thing that you can sacrifice. The lesson is, if anyone who looks on to the world as if it is a game of chess, deserves to lose."
fixing transcript of this quote, it was missing a few... _pieces_
"It's a useful mental exercise. Through the years, many thinkers have been fascinated by it. But I don't enjoy playing... You know why not? Because it was a game that was born during a brutal age when life counted for little. And everyone believed that some people were worth more than others. Kings & Pawns. I don't think that anyone is worth more than anyone else... I don't envy you the decision you're gonna have to make. Then one day I'll be gone, and you'll have no one to talk to. But if you remember nothing else, please remember this:
Chess is just a game. Real people are not pieces. You can't assign more value to some of them than to others. Not to me. Not to anyone. People are not a thing that you can sacrifice. The lesson is, if anyone who looks on the world as if it was a game of chess, deserves to lose."
There are so many...
For example, these two videos are connected (General Order 24) and part of the Star Trek episode "A Taste of Armageddon".

"Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!" Auntie Mame. "Gravity has nothing to do with falling in love." Albert Einstein. "Love one another as I have loved you." Jesus Christ. ...
The one about jesus is misleading, because that was the SECOND most important, you cherry picked the one you prefer... but most important is "one god who you must love" in contrast to liars who say trinity is polytheism... not only said one, but that it is most important!
@strateguy632 Yep. I cherry picked because I think there are many memorable quotes and I choose the most memorable ones to me. They all have to do with love, life and celebrating it. And all are quite wise.
A friends dad told him when he was young, "You'll never feel like a failure, if you know you tried your hardest". It has actually helped me in life.
@exitseven I've been there, especially in sports. Losing doesn't hurt as much when you know it wasn't from lack of effort. I just blame the officiating crew 😂
That's so fetch...

but without the context and the lore of all the previous ones... I am not sure if it was a good add to the series or not, lol
Yeah I think it would have been better for you if you'd at least seen the first one.

We get to choose who we want to be in life by the things we say and do
It's from Tolstoy's book. ''All happy families are alike, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.''.
One of my favorite bosses used to tell me "If it smells like 💩, ITIS"!!
One of my favourites is this little gem from Minder:
"Confidence is an inane thing. You can't learn it". It is a powerful reminder that one is either confident or not.
Simples...
Time is from gold, don't waste it on nothing!
Sometimes we think that our reality will last forever but it won't, everything will change at some point, so we better live the moment in our lives because there might be no tomorrow...
@Simslover92 It's not my number 1, however - dramatic pause - "(the) Thunderbirds are go!" 🕊️ 🐦
"Why so serious" joker, it is good advice, life is tough but don't be too serious.
The opening speech to recruits from Full Metal Jacket by Gunnery Sergeant Hartman.
I saw one from Jackie Chan recently something about traveling, because your money will return, but your time won't
Quotes from the joker in the batman movie 2008, and a quote from Rocky Balboa 2006 I think people die sometimes because they don't want to live no more (his trainer Mickey saying to Rocky)
All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain (Blade Runner, 1982).
I know nothing, nothing.
Whatever you are, be a good one.
Silly Rabbit.
