quotes and sayings which stick with you.

I have a couple of quotes or sayings, which I always remember and I would say, I live by. They give me that drive and motivation when I need to "check" myself.


Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f@#king beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.
- Al Swearengen


A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.
and
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
- Both Gandhi quotes.

"An hour in the morning is worth two in the afternoon." - My Granny. :)

"Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children"

Brandon Lee - The Crow

The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary - Vidal Sassoon

Entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people won't, so that you can spend the rest of your life like most people can't. - Stolen from my business partners Facebook, not sure where he got it from.

Also quite a strange one, arguably my favourite song of all time is Frank Sinatra 'That's life', this has lyrics which always remind me of working in the gambling industry as either an affiliate or operator:

You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune,
When I'm back on top, back on top in June.

If I'm depressed about recent results or something has got down it reminds me that in a few months I'll probably be laughing somewhere else in the world - helps me get over the fluctuating nature of the industry. I'm sure you've all heard the tune, but if you haven't http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIiUqfxFttM

Trust ... but verify !

To continue on The Crow:
"It can't rain all the time.."

And a random one from my all time favourite movie:
"Lord! It's a miracle! Man up and vanished like a fart in the wind!"

Which movie is this from? It made me laugh.

Unfortunately I got teased a lot at school because of the way I looked (my hair) and I was a pretty ugly kid. Whenever I came home upset or saying how much I hate the way I looked etc, my dad would always say to me:

"Don't put yourself down because there are a million other people out there willing to do it for you."

Another one that I have always stayed true to is "Learn from other's mistakes. You don't live long enough to make them all yourself."

Now for my favourite.. It's a greek saying.
I can't remember how to spell it correctly but here goes:

Ο κόσμος καίγετε καί το μουνί ξυρίζετε

The direct translation is: The world is on fire and the vagina is shaving itself.
Interpret that how you will :)

It's from The Shawshank Redemption you gotta see it if you haven't, my all time favourite all categories :) (Well.. Evil Dead III is another..)

Umm.. Renee.. That Greek saying ain't making no sense AT ALL.. LOL

Speaking of Evil Dead - Army of Darkness.. Here's one for ya: "Hail to the King, baby" or "Good. Bad.. I'm the guy with the gun!"
All of you who have played Duke Nukem in the mid 90's have heard quotes from Army of Darkness.. "Gimme some sugar, baby!" is one :)

DILLIGAF = Do I Look Like I Give A F**k (Kevin Bloody Wilson)

Whats Mine Is Yours n What's Yours I've Paid For (pomp)

1. Let the wind blow [fart] or explode!
2. I may be stupid, but your ugly and i can get smarter
3. You pay insurance all year, if you don't use it, shouldn't you get your money back? [chris rock]

There are several lines that come to mind.

"Another world is not only possible, she's on her way. Many of us many not be around to greet her, but on a quiet day, if I listen carefully, I can hear her breathing."
- Arundhati Roy

"Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity."
- Horace Mann. This was extremely frequently repeated at the college I attended, so much so that we often just shortened it to "be ashamed."

And on a light note, Christopher Walken's lions speech from Poolhall Junkies:
"Don't beat him. Kick his ass." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzekDivpK3M

My dearly departed Nan used to say "If IFS n BUTS were POTS n PANS the world would be a kitchen"

RIP Nan xxx

Epic.. epic.. movie. This would be an awesome movie to remake.. although I can't think of anyone worthy enough to take on Christopher Lamberts role.

"En ma Fin gît mon Commencement..." (by Mary Queen of Scots) is my life motto, meaning "In my end is my beginning". That's the saying that keeps me going :)
P.S. I'm thinking of having it tattooed on my wrist.

Don't do it Dila unless you are completely sure, trust me I have a couple of really bad tattoos

There are so many sayings I like...

'Choose a job you love and you will never have to work another day in your life'

Can I also have 'Don't worry, be happy' even though its a song

get it if has meaning, not for some random purpose to be cool.

Gemma, that's why I still haven't got one, I'm super afraid of regretting :P
However, as Rak mentioned it's quite meaningful and way too important :D

Classic, Army of Darkness, one of my favorite movies of all time. I use his quotes daily, and drives my wife crazy.
