I really love "Words of Wisdom" cuz you can really learn alot from them.
It's incredible how much a few words can tell you if you just..."stop" a second and think about it.
I have both heard, read and even come up with my own Words of Wisdom.
and I'd love to share them with you others and If your willing to share yours as well

Feel free to share as many as you like, and tell if it's your own Words of Wisdom or not.
I will type One each time I post and will constantly check to see more wise words.
Hope you'll do the same, cuz who knows how much experience you'll gain from these few words

Here's my first, it's not my own, i saw it in a book:

"Freedom Is The Right To Do Everything The Law Allows"

hope you'll understand

If you're not sure if anyone else have already posted the quote you're thinking of posting,
try to look through the pages and use Ctrl+F to search for a keyword in your quote.
If you ask me... I don't mind if two people post the same quote, it only shows that the quote is worth reading twice

Hrm...i'll leak one or two of it here. Though it ain't wise to do so for myself.

"You are your own worse enemy."

"The *Fill in the blanks* is merely an extension of the body."

"The worst enemy is one who wears the mask of a friend."

Hrm...perhaps that's all from me for now. I leaked too much. Let's wait for some others.

I didn't expect to find this topic... it is one of my favourite topic regarding "self-improvement"! (Looks like i'm going to be back here more than a few times to read the new replies). Actually, i have a whole collection of them if anyone wants some.

Famous wisewords:
"Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win. ~Jonathan Kozel"
"The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra. ~Jimmy Johnson"
"Don't look where you fall, but where you slipped. ~African Proverb"
"Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time. ~Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn"
"Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted. ~John Lennon" (think about using this against your parents)
"Nature gave men two ends - one to sit on and one to think with. Ever since then man's success or failure has been dependent on the one he used most. ~George R. Kirkpatrick"

Unknown Authors:
"Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak. Sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go."
"Promise only what you can deliver. Then deliver more than you promise."
"When you lose, don't lose the lesson."
"The future lies before you, like paths of pure white snow. Be careful how you tread it, for every step will show."

My Own:
"Intelligence is the sin of inheritance and smartness is the verdict of hard work"
"There’s a loop hole in everything that exists. Live to fill the holes don’t let your loop holes fill you!"
"Be a loser of the winners, rather than a winner of the losers."
"The chicken is an egg’s way of making more eggs" (Classic )

Keep up with the good work guys...

Empty head, demon's workplace.

One of my favorites and one that has helped me for years is "you cant change the past but you can change the future" meaning that what has happened you cant do anything about and not to beat your self up over it. Also its spelled "wisdom"

When life throws you a lemon, eat it. ^__^

the enemy of my enemy, is my friend :P

Some of my own quotes. You'll recognize a certain trend.

*History is not necessarily what happened; rather it is what we prefer to believe, prefer to remember what had happened.

*Stuff happened because stuff happened before that.

*What isn’t remembered never happened. Memory is merely a record. You just need to rewrite that record (from the series Lain).

And my newest masterpiece:

*Knowledge is dangerous but not nearly as dangerous as a little knowledge.

My favorite quote by someone else comes from Winston Churchill (who I don't like very much). Quoted from memory.

*Sometimes, while walking the paths of life, people stumble over the truth, but being people, they tend to pick themselves up and walk around it.

*To prepare for the future, you first need to remeber the past*

*Dont feel bad if your lonely, its just that everyone else around you is just dumber than you*

*Relationships doesnt make the world go round, it makes the ride worth while*

If I remeber more, I'll be sure to post it here if its not here already.

*Nobody in this world in invincible, unless God be with he/she

"Thinking gets you caught from behind." ~OJ Simpson (my HS band teacher used this a lot)

"A mind is a terrible thing to waste." dunno where my HS band teacher got this, but he loved using it.

"Pride goeth before a fall."

"never try never fail"
"if somethings not worth doing, then dont do it"

I'm back~~
Seems like you all have pretty many and wise words to share
Thanks for sharing
I just came up with this one a few minutes ago, while watching Anime
Sometimes it just pop-up in my head

"Rather hide your sorrow behind your false smile than your true smile behind your sorrow"

this sounds kinda like me sometimes

there's no greater enemy than pride

Lol. Ok , i leak out one more. It's my own.

"I think, you assume,...Who confirm ?"

"Dont go after something you cant get, instead, just sit back and one day it'll come to you"

"Dont try to hard, just do it at your pace"

"Patience may be a virtue, but it can get irritating"

Sometimes man wish to die, but when death come to man he wish to live...

"We all have a bit of craziness in us; if we don't embrace it, that is what makes us crazy." (or something like that) -My French Teacher

I'm back again~~
Here's another one.
They really pop-up in my mind from nowhere whenever I'm thinking about something related.
I donno if someone else thought about this but for now it's my own one

"Accept the world and it will accept you, Change the world and it will change you"

I donno if this sounds like crap but it really has a deeper meaning, atleast for me....

Just thought of this one a few minutes ago while playing a game.
Might help in real life too, here it goes:

"Succeed to gain pride, Fail to gain knowledge"

Once again, i think this one already exist, really don't know

"The longer you run, the harder it hits"

"If you truly love them, then you will want to see them happy, even if that means losing them"

Well... here's one i made. It's a quote that prevents you from getting old

"Don't problem your problem coz a problem will not be a problem if you don't problem it"

Think about it.....
