"Life is to important to be taken seriously." ~Oscar Wilde
Live yor life fun and free
step outside the box and try somthing new
go places, see the world
meet new people every where you go
because one day when you look back at your life
and you'll either be simply satisfied, or you will have regrets
you choose.

I love this quote: "I hate losing more than I like winning" By: Charles Barkley
This is inspirational because I'm an athlete
this is 100% true!!
it’s the worst feeling to loose
it’s a great feeling to win but it feels worse to lose!!
Also when it’s a team sport, you ask yourself what could I have done better to contribute
Another life lesson is if you’ve never lost you don’t know what it feels like to win and if you lose you work harder to win!!

"Imagination is more important than knowledge."
~Albert Einstein
With knowledge, you can create.
but only the bare minimum.
with imagination,
one can truly create.
With imagination, anything is possible,
as long as you can imagine, everything in the universe is within your grasp
with knowledge, you can know
but with imagination, you can bring new creations unto hummanity.

A quote I really like is "the only way to have a friend is to be one," by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Friends
There was a girl
She was just mean,
But, she tried being nice just to give it a whirl
She was heard, she was also seen
She was noticed by everyone
And everyone soon did care
When she got a call
Plus twenty friends she could not bare

The quote I like is “Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.” By Thomas Jefferson I like it because it’s about a quote to success. To me that’s really inspiring.
Not all things come out right
Put time
Put effort
And
It will come out right
Like Thomas Jefferson said
“Nothing can stop the man
With the right mental attitude from achieving his goal;
Nothing on earth can help the man
With the wrong mental attitude.”
Achieving your goal
Can be
The greatest thing in life

"Be yourself; everone else is already taken." by Oscar Wilde. I like this quote because I am myself and I don't care what people think of me. I am who I am.
I Am Who I Am
I like to be me .
I don't want to be you.
I have blue hair.
I am quiet too.
I have a sense of humor.
I am different at home than at school.
I don't care what people think.
I am who I am.

"Content makes poor men rich; discontentment makes rich men poor."
By Benjamin Franklin.
Money doesn't matter
Happiness is the key
We make happiness
You can't buy happiness
You can't sell happiness
Money can't buy happiness
Poor people have happiness because they make it
Rich people don't have happiness because they are too busy trying to shop for it.

"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." ~Soren Kierkegaard
Things can't be understood until they've happened,
We will have to look back,
But we can't live in the past,
We must live through the future,
You'll look back in a year to it all making sense.

Benjamin Franklin once said, "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." Thus far I have experienced neither, but I imagine the quote to be painfully true. And now, more or less as an afterthought, a free verse poem:
In life, nothing can be certain.
Except death.
And taxes.
In rare cases
The latter results in the former.
So when you consider whether or not to live
Do consider death.
And taxes.

Varsha -- Ben Carson and his quotes!
Article posted March 4, 2012 at 12:25 AM GMT •

“Successful people don't have fewer problems. They have determined that nothing will stop them from going forward.”
- Ben Carson
I love quotes because they make me think and are good in general. Ben Carson is a great role model and if you read his books, you will see why. For my poem:
Everyone is smart in their own way but not everyone is successful...why?
Everyone has a different perspective,
And these differentiate those people
If a person is chosen to be the 6th best student out of 16 students,
He can either be happy that there are still 10 people behind him,
Or he could think that there are 5 people ahead of him and move forward.
This choice will go a long way to success if he chooses the right one.
However, if he chooses to move forward, then that does not mean he has fewer problems,
That actually means he will have more because he has to work harder.
This is like a friendship.
A good friend will never forget the good things that his friend has done,
But he will always forget what he has done for his friend or the bad things that his friend has done, so that his friendship can last.
There are problems but that doesn't stop the person from moving forward because of his dedication.
Go ahead and find out more about Ben Carson, he shares his personal experiences, and he actually was a terrible student to start with, but now he is one of the best neurosurgeons we have. How?! He shares some fantastic advice and is awesome!

The quote I chose is 'The destination has no meaning, because the journey is the worthier part' by Joss Whedon.
The Destination Has No Meaning
'The destination has no meaning'
I heard the old man say.
I always keep that in my heart,
The words he said that day.
It was about two years ago,
The day I met that man.
When all day I was thinking,
'Look as friendly as you can'.
I saw the old man walking
As I sat there, playing with hairclips
Then I noticed.
'He's not looking at the places,
But he's looking at the ships!'
'Why don't you care where you're going?'
I asked him with a smile.
'Cause I believe the journey
Is what makes it worth the while.
The destination has no meaning'
Is what I heard him say.
I thought, and wondered to myself,
What does it mean anyway?
I thought and finally figured it out,
The puzzle he had left.
It's not about the destination,
But truly how you felt.
The friends you made,
The cards you played,
And how you used your brain.
The questions asked,
The risks you took,
And how you dealt with pain.
'The destination has no meaning'
I heard the old man say.
I always keep that in my heart,
The words he said that day.

One quote that is really inspiring to me is a quote about soccer by Mia Hamm.
She said:
Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.
I try every day in practice to be prefect
But is all that stress really worth it.
I can’t be perfect all the time,
But why do I always worry?
I try so hard not to make a mistake
But how much more can my mind take
When I make a mistake I usually fall,
But now I’m going to stand tall and fix it.

A quote that speaks to me is "A day without laughter is a day wasted"
-anonymus
A day without laughter is a day wasted
life is to short to be sad
it's never to short to be glad
don't ever not laugh
because it's better to laugh at nothing
rather than being sad about something
life is to short to be sad
and a day without laughter
is definitely a day wasted

No harsh words,

No hurtful actions,

Happy Little Accidents
Don’t worry about making mistakes, there are none to be made.
A Happily little accident is easily displayed.
But when they are made don’t be afraid.
Just make up a reason why.
The grass is greener than green because it was in the sun too long.
The sky is light blue because of the white clouds.
I’m wearing a my shirt backwards because I don’t like crowds.
A happy little accident, that’d what it is.
A slight little mess up is not the cause.
A misplacement of the imagination caused for relaxation.
Yes, just a happy little accident… and one very dark blob of green paint.
By kacie
This poem is based on the quote from Jordan W.( his last name is way too long to spell.) The Quote would be 'there are no such things as mistakes, just happy little accidents.'. that's where the title of the poem came from, so yeah. It wasn't one of my best poems ever, I admit, but it's still pretty good.

Sometimes for a reason
Sometimes for not
Just let them hate
So long as they fear
Sometimes they're jealous
Sometimes not
Just let them hate
So long as they fear

"You can shed tears that she is gone, or you..." Is a very famous quote from David Harkins.
I was counting on forever,
So why did you go?
We were best friends
Closer then Peanut Butter and Jelly
Like 2 peas in a pod
Yet you let go
You let the cancer win
When you should’ve held on
Many cried for you
When I was in shock
So why did you go?

My favorite quote is pretty religious, and most would have a hard time understanding it, (also I can't explain it well OR write a poem about it!), so my next favorite saying is "Silence is gold; Duct tape is silver."
“Silence is gold,
Duct tape is silver”
Does this have to rhyme?
Cause then I’m out of luck.
This is very appalling,
That someone might suggest this,
Cause for all the people
Who talk too much,
We are in trouble of having our mouths
Taped shut.
So for those of you who talk too much,
(Including me)
Avoid someone running at you,
With duct tape.
Cause, (if you can’t take a hint),
If someone is running at you,
Trying to tape your mouth shut,
Take a hint,
And just shut up

I found a quote that "speaks to me" “Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.” John F. Kennedy. Here is my “Interpretation Poem”
War
The death of one man is a tragedy; the death of millions is a statistic
Only the dead have seen the end of the war
All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers
When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die
War does not determine who is right, only who is left
In peace, sons bury their fathers. In war, fathers bury their sons
The victor will never be asked if he told the truth
The first casualty when war comes is truth
You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake

A quote I really like is "Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend"
There was a girl
whose heart was as cold as ice
and there was a girl
who was super nice,
this super nice girl
went up to say hello
but all she got was
"buzz off"
and the girl was deterimined
to make her heart soft,
day after day
she kept showing her love
until one day
when the girl had no choice
but to give back the love.

A quote that really speaks to me is "Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly." Lanston Hughes.
My poem:
Don't ever let dreams die
Life will just pass by
And your imagination will say good bye
Dreams can make your day
And night, of course
Or even make your life
So remember...
Don't ever let your dreams die!

"I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world." ~Thomas A. Edison
This quote really speaks out to me because friendship should not be because the person is popular or rich. Friendship should be true. Friends should just be friends because they know that the other has their back and will never talk behind it. Friends should be able to be friends through rough patches and through soft grass.:)
Friends will never betray you
Nor will they leave you behind
They'll always be beside you
No matter what the time
Friends will always be there
In your times of need or greed
Friendship is beautiful
But only if it is true:)

The quote I chose was:
"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."- Wayne Gretzky
Here is my poem to go with it:
Life is full of opportunities.
If you take a shot and miss, are you a failure?
Trying your best does not equal failure.
The whole point of sports is to take chances and be a risk taker.
When you take a chance will you ever grow from it?
If you don't take a chance you will never move forward.
Are you happy or sad when you take a chance?
When you take a chance, usually something good always comes out of it.
You can never be an athlete if you don't take chances.

My Favorite Inspirational Quote: "It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog."
-Mark Twain
No matter how big you are,
No matter how small you are,
That doesn't matter.
If you have enough confidence inside you,
If you have the power to not give up,
That's a much higher achievement.
When you put enough hard work in,
You will be more powerful inside yourself.

On the battlefield where soldiers fight for our country
Sacrifices have been made.
These soliders are unselfish
And pure to their leader.
They don't ask for anything in return.
And some give up everything.
They don't ask what their country can do for them
They ask what they can do for their country.

"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." -Dr. Seuss
I think that this is very important like don't be sad of what happened in the past but be happy that you were able to have that oppurtunity instead.
Crying makes you sad
It shows a small sign of weakness
Crying helps and hurts others and yourself
Smiling makes people happy
It makes them wonder why you are happy
You smile because of something good that happened
Crying can mean you were dissapointed with the results
Smile and cry maybe for the same reason but always be greatful and happy for what you did

First of all, there are many quotes that “speak” to me. I even keep a quote journal and write quotes down that I really enjoy or like. I’ve kept this journal since I was VERY little like 2 or 3 I think. Anyway one of my FAVORITE quotes of all is: “Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense.” ~~~ Mark Overby. I like this quote because it is very true. But the quote that speaks out to me the most is: “Every day is a gift that is why they call it the present.” ~~ Unknown.
When everyday you get a new gift.
You wouldn’t be able to choose.
No, not to be swift.
Then it would be this privilege in which you lose.
When everyday is new,
One never the same as before.
Since you were born you grew.
This is not something to ignore.
When everyday you are in the present.
You are no longer in the past.
This should surly be an event
And this is built to last.
When everyday is sure to have a tomorrow,
When you die is not the end
So don’t be filled with sorrow.
You will still have a friend.
When everyday for the rest of forever
You will be in Heaven,
It will never let you go no not ever.
And you still haven’t liven.

“You miss 100% of the shots you never take.”
-Wayne Gretzky
You have to try
In order to get a result
If you don’t try
You will not get anything in return
At a restaurant,
You won’t get any food
If you didn’t order any
If you don’t shoot
You won’t score

I have always liked the quote "You miss 100% of the shots you never take." I like this quote because it pertains to hockey. I think it is saying that you have to take chances, because if you don't, you won't know what you missed.

Hockey, a tough sport

The Meaning of Lifelong Friendship
I believe that friendship is the way to go
Because it helps my friends and me go with the flow
It keeps my frown upside down
And makes me be able to enjoy the day
When it is raised to pure enjoyment
There isn't anything else in the world
That can do that for me
That can make it a treat for a lifetime
But a few people find this
And I am very lucky
But I believe that anyone,
Anyone who searches,
Can find what they're looking for:
Happiness.
A relationship.
It's all right here
You just need to need to know where to look.

"Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out." is my quote said by Anton Chekhov.
My Poem:
Anyone can face a challenge
Simple things kill you
You can do amazing things when needed
Easy stuff makes you think
Ideas come when most needed
Straightforward things need time
Complicated things take little time
Basic things take much more time

The quote that I have chosen is "When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us." - Helen Keller
When happiness is no longer there
We look for other objects
That think makes us happy
But just because there is a smile on our face
Doesn't mean that's true happiness
No that's false happiness
You can't buy happiness nor receive it
But you have to feel it on the inside
This what I thought this quote meant to me.

Everyone that knows me knows that I love to quote!!! One of my favorite quotes is " Life is only as great as you make it out to be" I dont exactly know who wrote this quote because I heard it in science and was so busy writting it down I accidentally missed who wrote it:( I love this quote because it is inspirational and I think it could speak to anyone if they truly thought about what the quote means:)
Quote Poem:
Quotes help me express
with other peoples words
it helps me decompress
like flying with the birds
to get another quote
makes me soar in the sky
like a great big eagle
flying way up high

"Good enough never is" Debbi Fields. This quote is just so true I couldn't get it out of my head. We never have enough, or something is never just perfect, there's always room for improvement. This is a poem I wrote about this quote.
Good enough won't work
Good enough will never lurk
Around because it never is
We always want
Something better
We say we need perfection
Enough is never quite enough
Good enough never is

"Working Hard" By Lindsey
When I feel like somethings hard,
I walk into me big backyard,
and think of that mighty quote "Never ever ever give up"
I think about it for a long, long time,
and decide to go to work again.
I work and work and achieve some more.
Finally my work is done.
I say to myself "Never ever ever give up".

"How ever far the stream flows it never forgets its source."
- Unknown
This quote is truly special,
Because it speaks and relates to me.
It relates to me like apples to a tree,
And im like a stream flowing towards the sea.
I am a stream because im flowing away from my source,
I move quickly like a main course.
I do miss my home,
Much like a gnome.
But however far I go,
I will never forget the source of my flow.

Hello baby tomato.
you look like a potato.
You are so inspiring,
just like my inner wiring.
I remember when I farted
during a class.
You laughed so much that,
you tripped and fell
on a pile of glass.
That was the end
of you that day,
just like the Jabberwocky
on the planet Locky.
You will be dearly missed,
like my first kiss.
Goodbye little tomato,
may you rest in peace w/ a potato.

“Believe you can and you're halfway there.”
Theodore Roosevelt
When you’re studying for a test,
Trying your best,
Or practicing sports,
Playing on courts,
Try your best,
And you’re even closer to being above the rest,
When you’re taking a test,
Doing your very best,
Or playing sports,
Running on the courts,
If you have a great attitude,
You’ll go great latitude.

If you don't take the chance,

If you don't take the chance.

Good advice for the human kind
Getting back at each other is not nice

Let what happens happen and don’t try to change it
Stand by your own belief and defend it

My quote that speaks to me is “Life shouldn’t be measured by the breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.”
-Maya Angelou
Life is precious
One day it me not be there
So life to the fullest
And don’t have regrets
When you look back smile because of the wonderful things
Don’t cry because of the bad
Because when it’s all said and done and you’re gone
Your life will be beautiful
And spectacular
So don’t miss a moment
That could take your breath away

The quote “Keep calm and carry on.” Used by the British government during the Blitz, speaks to me in the way that when something goes wrong in school or with friends, I repeat that quote in my head. Here is my poem that reflects my thoughts.
When things go sour,
Or the day drags by the hour,
I repeat to myself a simple quote.
A quote that means “don’t freak out,”
A phrase that makes me calm.
So when the bad things come,
And we lose our hope,
I repeat to myself the simple quote:
“Keep calm and carry on.”

In school you might get time to redo it
At work you have it hereand now or your fired

“STOMP OUT BULLYING “
It is important to me because I was bullied my whole life in my younger years and it hurt a lot it really changes a person.
For me, I was not shy at all but now I am very shy because of bullying.
Every day I come to school thinking why is that person looking at me?
What do those people think about me?
Just a lot of stuff goes through my mind.
So that is why I’m very shy.
It hurts kids a lot when people out there bully others.
Some kids do very bad things to themselves because they are bullied.
It can cause depression and personality changes.

"Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will."
Jawaharal Nehru
I really like this quote because I live by this quote! This is really meaningful to me because it is something that will never lie to you. You can always trust that using this quote in every day life will not let you down.
Life
One hand is dealt to you
You have absolutely nothing, at first
Each day you chose a new card
You can pick one that will help your hand
You can pick one that will destroy your hand
I always pick the goods cards
This way at the end of the game
I will have a royal flush and win the prizes.

A book I have has a lot of quotes, my favorite one is “Real difficulties can be overcome; it is the imaginary ones that are unconquerable.” Theodore N. Vail said that.
When one was young, he had many irrational worries. Then comes a book. Has many stories. With every story, a quote or two. Reading one or another makes a difference. One quote really sticks out to this young man. Sheds some light this quote has done. Relax the worries this quote has done. A different person he has become.

"The more we sweat in peace, the less we bleed in war." By: Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit
If only we could all get along
Join together and sing a song
We all have something we share
So everyone should care
Work hard to love
Humans won’t have to shove
If only we weren’t so prideful and selfish
Maybe then I could have my wish
It’s not that tough

Friends influence decisions
They help you if you're right or wrong
They stick with you from beginning to end
in good or bad
a true friend never lets you down
you can always count on them
and put your faith in them
friends are there to cry to
and they will forever be by your side.

The quote that I decided that was explaining me was "All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue it." Walt Disney. I think this because I have dreams and I have something I want to do when I get older, but I don't think I ever really tackle it. This is a poem that I made up to match this quote:
Follow Your Dreams
Follow your dreams,
have courage,

never stop believing,
you will always have a chance,

My favorite quote is “Never trust a skinny cook” by Iain Hewitson.
The Skinny Cook
Skinny mini really can’t cook
He doesn’t even follow the directions in the book
No fat on his bones
His cooking makes my stomach groan
He is thin and lean, and never tastes his food
Always cranky, never in a good mood
No thyme, pepper, paprika, or salt
It is the skinny cooks fault

I chose the quote "So long there are men, there will be wars." by Albert Einstein.
Since the beginning of humans,
they've fought.
They make peace that never lasts forever.
They always get into wars.
There is always some kind of trouble they cause,
which lead to wars some of the time.
The only obvious solution to keep away from wars forever,
to wipe them all out.
Which most don't prefer.

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard”—Tim Tebow
--From the book Through My Eyes by Tim Tebow and Nathan Whitaker
Hard Work
So what?
You think you got talent?
Let me tell you something
Having talent doesn’t mean you are good
Especially if you slack off
No matter what you do, work hard
With hard work you will get to the next level
Talent alone will NOT get you there
When you give 100% you will eventually gain some talent
People will notice you are eager to get better
Even if you are not the best, people will notice you
They’ll know you are eager to get better
And give everything you have

My quote is “If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.” That quote was said by an anonymous person.
Plummet
Falling, falling
Through the ozone layer
Make sure that you say your prayers
Falling, falling
You are terrified and screaming
While the other divers sure are beaming
Falling, falling
Don’t hit the ground
Because you’ll hear a splat-like sound
Falling, Falling
You won’t get the boot
Because after all, you’ve got a parachute
That is my poem that reflects on my quote. Whoever said that sure is a smart guy

Genuine forgiveness does not deny anger but faces it head-on.
- Alice Duer Miller
To give forgiveness,
You have to be strong.
Push away all the stiffness.
It may take long
To get over pain,
But don't forgive in vain.
The anger might controlling,
But not not where it can't be controlled.
