So, folks, the title says it all! I want your favorite quotes! I'm painting my room in the next two weeks, and my mother has given me permission to paint quotes on the wall!

So, let me have them! :D

“You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.”—Winston Churchill

“I don't mind making jokes, but I don't want to look like one.”-- Marilyn Monroe

“I’d rather spend my whole life sleeping, than have you keep me from dreaming.” –Sarah Bareilles

"I’m selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I’m out of control, and at times I’m hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst then you sure don’t deserve me at my best." -Marilyn Monroe

*loves Marilyn*

But! If you're looking for more good quotes, Winston Chirchill has some really great ones.

And also there is always the option of sticking some song lyrics up there. Song lyrics ftw.
Life is for living.

Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible. - Cadet Maxim

Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and starts. In the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. -Max Ehrmann

To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch... to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded! -Ralph Waldo Emerson

You are the master of your own fate, the captain of your own soul. -William Ernest Henley

Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle. - Christian D. Larson

Most situations that will lead to great things in your life are going to be extremely uncomfortable for you at the moment they are happening, so just be ready for it. - Josh Groban

The beauty of life is to experience yourself. -unknown

I don't fail. I succeed at finding what doesn't work. -Chris Tituse

Dance as though no one is watching you, love as though you have never been hurt before, sing as though no one can hear you, live as though heaven is on earth. -Souza

May you always have enough happiness to keep you sweet; enough trials to keep you strong; enough success to keep you eager; enough faith to give you courage;and enough determination to make each day a good day. -proverb

One of the things about being successful... you have to be responsible about the choices you make. -Josh Groban

Knowledge is nothing without imagination. -Albert Einstein

If the theory of relativity is proven true, France will declare me a citizen of the world and Germany will declare me German. If the theory of relativity is proven false, France will declare me a German and Germany will declare me a Jew. -Albert Einstein (I'm unsure if the wording on that quote is correct. I was typing it from memory)

Inside every reader lurks and editor, waiting to get out. -Michal Patterson of For Better or For Worse (cartoon strip)

Weird is the new normal. -Rosey and Jabs
A writer is a world trapped in a person— Victor Hugo

Ink is blood. Paper is bandages. The wounded press books to their heart to know they're not alone.
