Hi! I thought I’d start another of my light hearted threads. Although this is quasi-light hearted with a view to hopefully help and lift people’s spirits along the way.
Please post your favourite inspirational quote (or meme) or a quote (or meme) that you like or think will help others on this forum. I used to collect quotes in my early teens and my first and favourite quote has always been:
...you're old enough to know if you definitely want a tattoo or if you will end up regretting it later :-) My eldest is going through a getting tattoos phase at the moment but only small ones.
Well, I was in my mid-forties and had been thinking about it for about 4 years so...

I like ‘this too, shall pass’. Better to just get on with life I guess as you never know when things will change. I’m glad that you’re happy with the tattoo that you got done. I got 3 tattoos in my teens but regretted them all by the time I hit 20.
"If you're going through hell... keep going" - attributed to Winston Churchill but probably incorrectly
Also
"This too, shall pass" - Persian adage see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_too_shall_pass for me this means "When times are tough, it won't last - so don't fret. When times are good, it won't last - make the most of it"
"Perdurabo" (Latin) it means "I will endure to the end" and was the 'magical motto' of Aleister Crowley. This is my personal motto (I got it tattooed on my arm in 2016 after a particularly rough 4 years) and depending on where you put the stress it's a statement of fact, a promise, a threat, an inspiration... the tattoo is visible at a glance if I'm wearing short-sleeves and when I got it done it felt like it was something that had been there for years and the tattooist was revealing it, rather than it being something that was being 'added to me'...
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Hi! Yes completely fine to post pictures/memes etc on here. Good quote!
There seem to be a lot of pictures here, so I thought this might be OK to try to Post. I took this from a foreign language Internet Post. I like a lot what it says, but I have no idea if this quote was ever said in this Cartoon (Dragonball).
Definitely! Mutual understanding is far better!
This is a refreshing change from seeing people of one faith constantly taunting and writing hate about people of another faith, or no faith.
This is good. Like there’s no point waiting for the world to change, you have to start with changing yourself to be/do whatever it is that you want to see being done better in the world?
I like this
I also found this in popeye quotes’
"You must be the change you want to see in the world." (Ghandi)
What a wonderful medley of different concepts and ideologies merged into one quote! Thank you for sharing:-)
Thank you for sharing your quote and your own reflections on how it affects you. It shows your humanity and I’m glad that you find it inspiring:-)
I like this quote, nothing and nobody is ‘perfect’. Those who try to pretend that they are perfect irritate me, almost as much as overly judgemental people annoy me which reminds me of another quote that I try to live by:
For me this means simply that none of us are perfect, none of us have never done anything wrong in our lives (even something small), so none of us has the right to pass judgment on another human being.
I yam what I yam. Popeye.
My heart has become capable of every form: it is a pasture for gazelles and a
convent for Christian monks,
And a temple for idols and the pilgrim’s Kaaba and the tables of the Torah and
the book of the Qur’an.
I follow the religion of Love: whatever way my Love’s camels take, that is my
religion and my faith.
Ibn ‘Arabi 1165 - 1240 CE
