Hello everyone! Im thinking of having a quote as a tattoo but im kinda new to this love of quotes and I only have one fave at the mo "Know Thyself"

If you know any really short quotes that would be great. It doesnt matter what subject it is on, but I prefer things about discorering yourself, but any short quotes welcome!

"You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover will be yourself."
-- Alan Alda, Actor



*~*TAYLOR*~*

very nice but a tad too long!

Less is More
-- Mies Van Der Rohe

Simplify! Simplify!
-- Henry David Thoreau, from Walden

Scatter Joy!
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson.

-

much love, light and laughter,
ananya.

*~Come play with my children feel the peace and Scatter some joy.~*
~*Blowing out someone else's candle doesn't make your's burn any brighter.*~
We can't all be stars, but we can all twinkle.

To thy ownself be true.--lyric of Reba Mccintire

hey Zep Girl i am looking at the same thing as you getting a tattoo with a quote.

Love is a battle, love is a war, love is growing up.

The best proof of love is trust.

The heart sees whats invisible to the eye.

just to name a few

Exit stage left
Char!ie

hey
ok this is some that i think would be cute
live,lagh,love
wonder,a garden among the flames
beauty s truths smile
sing like no one can here, dance like noone can see, love like youv never been hurt, live like its heven on earth

to feer love is to feer life and those who feer life are already three parts dead

"Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me." - Maya Angelou

ok, well me nd my fiance want to get matching tattoo quotes across both our wrists, like, we want them to read together u kno? but i cant find the rite one? can ne one b of help?

If you want the sentiment to be forever why not do something like

"ashes to ashes, dust to dust." - Biblical reference

A til death do you part, if you will.

"It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet."
-Maya Angelou

I don't know how philisophical you want to be but I have a big sense of humor. These quotes are a little silly but the source is witty and it shows you can read something into just about anything!
"Keep cool, but don't freeze"
-Mayonaise jar
"Chill and shake well"
-Lemon juice
"New and improved!"
-You name it...

It might be a bit late for this thread, but I am fond of this and have even considered it for a discreet tattoo:

Life teaches,
Love reveals

I was thinking about getting a quote tattoo that says "forever is your promise, I will love you with my life,"

"Forever is your promise, I will love you with my life."

this is way late, but I'm throwing it out there ...
in response to the "to thy ownself be true" -lyric of Reba Mccintire idea:
this is part of a larger quote from Shakespeare in which Polonius is giving advice to his son Laertes. This might be one of the most widely misunderstood quotations of the play. People tend to repeat it as some sort of montra of inspiration. Take into account that Polonius was a hypocrite who was, in the full quote, basically telling his son to disregard others and look out for himself.

in all likleyhood Reba isn't smart enough to think of that. Alas, she wasn't.

To thine own self be true - its a quote from Hamlet, and its my tattoo.

peace love & happiness

thats wat i live by

this may be a bit late but for the fiancees,

"all you need is love"
"love is all you need"

...the same idea but uniquely different and goes together well as a pair.

I have

Choose to be happy

on the inside of my left forearm. It reminds me everyday that even though I was widowed twice in 15 yrs and by the age of 40 that I choose my reaction the these things and the world around me.

Live or die,
Laugh or cry,
Choose to be happy

BLOOD,SWEAT BUT NEVER AnY TEARS..............
