Round Three of My Favorite Quotes

16 May 2012 Posted by Nia Langley Uncategorized

Greetings, lovelies! Today was my second day at my law firm internship. I’m helping with a case already! Meanwhile, I’m sharing some more of my favorite quotes. Hope you enjoy!

Some of these quotes are motivational, some of them are funny, and some are just random. Some of these quotes are from famous people, some of them are from my friends, some are from anonymous people (or I don’t know/remember who said them), and some are from myself. Some of these quotes are from movies or books. Some of these are from interviews, and some of these are simply from everyday life. Here it goes.

*I’m not going to put my friends’ last names on here, just for protection purposes. I guess. If there is no last name, chances are he/she is a friend of mine.
*The movie/TV show/book a quote was taken from will be in parentheses.

“It’s better to be thought of as a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

“You’re unique…just like everybody else.”

“You can’t pray a lie.” -Huck Finn (Adventures of Huckleberry Finn)

“Going to McDonald’s for a salad is like going to a prostitute for a hug.”

“I’m feeling a little short. Time to get on my pedestal.”

“One day, we will look back at this, laugh nervously, and change the subject.”

‎”Nothing is impossible. The word itself says, ‘I’m possible.'” -Audrey Hepburn

“What I’m doing is really trying to hold up a mirror to our society so that people can see how beautiful they are.” -Alvin Ailey

“The mind is the only weapon that doesn’t need a holster.” -Kevin James (Mall Cop)

‎”And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.”-Abraham Lincoln

“We walk like models.”

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” -Thomas Edison

“‘And all this weave shall be added unto you.’ -Extensions 8:24in” -Steve

“I’m a professional crastinator.” -Nia Langley

‎”Raisin cookies that look like chocolate chip cookies are the main reason why I have trust issues.”

“Jesus take the weeeeeave.” -David

“You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it. You say you love sun, but you seek shade when it’s shining. You say you love wind, but when it comes, you close your window. So that’s why I’m scared when you say you love me.” -Bob Marley

“Don’t go broke trying to look rich. Act your wage.” -Jovon

“Music is what happens between the notes.”

“The Bible is meant to be bread for daily use, not cake for special occasions.”

“Dora, you’re multilingual at age 4. You should be able to find the banana tree.”

“Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.” -Oprah Winfrey

“Sometimes when you ask God to protect you from your enemies, you start losing ‘friends.'”

“Some people say ‘good things come to those who wait.’ Truth is, good things come to those who work.”

“Don’t trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.”

Me: Bible trivia! What tribe did Moses come from?
Aliya (my sister): The Mosites.

Aliya (my sister): Remember when we had our fail of a lemonade stand that one summer? We sold like one cup of lemonade…to mom.
My mother: You only sold one because you were charging $5 a glass!

“I love you. Cross my heart and hope to live to make you smile.” -Chris Lee

    Gahhh, some of these quotes had me laughing and some had me really inspired. I especially like "One day, we will look back at this, laugh nervously, and change the subject" and "Raisin cookies that look like chocolate chip cookies are the main reason why I have trust issues". 😀

    P.S. Thanks for checking out my monthly movie picks.

    Lots of love, B
