Quotes for Everyone

Following Tuesday’s trend, I decided that it’s about time to start flaunting the quotes I’ve saved in my photo gallery and by quotes, I mean non-bookish quotes. There is something here that will apply to everyone, challenge your thinking, embrace your freedom and individuality, and hopefully some that make you laugh.

The one who is truthful does not care about his status in the eyes of the creation. – Ibnul-Qayyim Rahimullah.If you care all too much about your social status for all the wrong reasons, you are more likely to lie, in my opinion. I’m not hating by the way, we are all human beings after all. A bad action does not maketh a bad person.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councillor or the Ku Klux Klanner but the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice. –Martin Luther King, Jr. False harmony is not real harmony.

There are dreamers, and there are realists in this world. You’d think the dreamers would find the dreamers and the realists would find the realists, but more often than not, the opposite is true. You see, the dreamers need the realists to keep them from soaring too close to the sun. And the realists? Well, without the dreamers, they might not ever get off the ground. – Cameron Tucker, Modern Family. I love realists! And I love Mitchell and Jay!

“What do you have against Hank Hippopopalous? Everyone says he’s a really nice guy.” “That’s exactly the problem. Because he’s so nice, people don’t want to think he’s capable of awful things, so they let him off the hook.” (1) “When we know what we know about a monster like that and we still put him on TV every week… We’re teaching a generation of young boys and girls that a man’s reputation is more important than the lives of the women he’s ruined.”(2) (Also, stop watching Johnny Depp’s and Woody Allen’s films if you really do care about the #metoo movement.) “You know, it’s funny. When you look at someone through rose-coloured glasses… all the red flags just look like flags.”– Bojack Horseman

You can’t have a solution until you start dealing with the problem: What you reveal, you heal.(1) The strongest thing a man can do is cry. To expose your feelings, to be vulnerable in front of the world. That’s real strength. You know, you feel like you gotta be the guarded person. That’s not real. It’s fake. (2) – Jay-Z, NY Times. And hey, if any of you guys ever want to talk about how you’re feeling just send me an email or a message, okay?

There’s a big difference between not giving a fuck about what people think and not being considerate or empathetic towards other people’s feelings, some of y’all aren’t bad bitches you’re just fucking rude. – @bbylchee, Twitter. SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK. You can love yourself and still be polite and possess good manners. For God’s sake, be polite. You’re never too important to be kind and decent to others.

Okay, that’s enough. One day, just one day, I will do some more but this is enough for now. I’m sure that by the time I do this next time, my phone gallery will have accumulated many, many, many more. Also, also, also, major also, if you enjoyed this and want to do one yourself, do do it. I would love to see what you picked!
