I am of the opinion like many things in life that one set quote will not stand out above the rest! Society commonly uses the phrase 'apples and oranges'. This undermines that comparisons can't and shouldn't be made between inadament objects or in this case quotes. If we take a look in the sporting world and ask ourselves which soccer player is the best in the world? There will probably be hundreds of different answers because comparing a goalkeeper to a striker is impossible, even though they both play soccer, their roles are completely different. In the world of quotes it is a similar story, one can not compare a quote about motivation to one of that about world piece!

Therefore the list below contains some of my personal favourite quotes (often having a meaning behind each one) that has been categorised into certain topics to help find your favourite quote for a specific purpose.

WORK QUOTES

"It's a job thats never started that takes the longest to finish"

"The best way to appreciate your job is to imagine yourself without one"

LOVE QUOTES

"To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world"

"You didn't just save my life, you made my life worth saving"

"You know you are in love when you see the world in her eyes, and her eyes everywhere in the world."

"Love doesn't make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile."

LIFE QUOTES

"The meaning of life is to give life meaning"

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow"

"Be the change you want to see in the world"

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES

"The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it"

"When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before."

FUNNY QUOTES

"I just broke up with someone and the last thing she said to me was You'll never find anyone like me again!' I'm thinking, "I should hope not! If I don't want you, why would I want someone like you"

"Who says nothing is impossible? I've been doing nothing for years!"

"The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese'.

FRIENDSHIP QUOTES

"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out"

"Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down"

"Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend."

WISDOM QUOTES

"Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something."

"I accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

WHAT QUOTES - Some of my personal favourites for a laugh!

"If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?"

"Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in there shoes: then when you criticize them, you're a mile away and have there shoes!"

"Birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that the people who have the most live the longest"

"The more I study the more I know, the more I know the more I forget. The more I forget the less I know, so why study?"

Enjoy some of these quotes and remember its not always about the quote but the meaning you put behind it!
