A good friend of mine said this to me and I spent hours trying to decipher it. "So says the wind to the tide 'I hate you'... but he lies." Only upon consulting him about the intended meaning did he tell me that it was meaningless gibberish. But it made me seriously consider how people look for profundities in nothing.

The quotes on my page. Just scroll down to the end section.

All of the ones I can think of are from songs:

Life is a journey, not a destination - Aerosmith

That one line in the song "Amazing" is quite possibly one of the wisest things I have heard in a long time.

I can't forget that I'm not ashamed to be the person I am today - Staind

A major line from the song "So Far Away" I'm not sure if it's more wise, or just motivational, but a great line non-the-less

[quote]Nobody is immortal!

I love quotes, they help motivate us and let us see the world in a new perspective. Even if that perspective was not what was originally intended by the person that stated the quote; that is the great thing about quotes!

Anything by Miyamoto Musashi (a mouthful I know) are great! He was a samurai in fuedal Japan, look into him if you desire, but here is one of my favorite quotes:

âAspire to be like Mt. Fuji, with such a broad and solid foundation that the strongest earthquake cannot move you, and so tall that the greatest enterprises of common men seem insignificant from your lofty perspective. With your mind as high as Mt Fuji you can see all things clearly. And you can see all the forces that shape events; not just the things happening near to you.â
