"Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear" my 8th grade teacher said this once. She probably got it from somewhere else, but I have never forgotten this.

“I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
If not, it can't be helped.”
? Frederick Salomon Perls

I don't know the origin of the quote but my mom brought me up on it. "Say what you mean, mean what you say. Try not to be mean when you say it."

I have heard other variations of it (Dr. Seuss and Alice in Wonderland) so it's possible my mom altered it.

“1492. As children we were taught to memorize this year with pride and joy as the year people began living full and imaginative lives on the continent of North America. Actually, people had been living full and imaginative lives on the continent of North America for hundreds of years before that. 1492 was simply the year sea pirates began to rob, cheat, and kill them.” ~ Kurt Vonnegut

There are a couple quotes I personally like and try to live by that are attributed to Wm. Shakespeare. I'll reproduce them to the best of my ability here, though I may be paraphrasing:
"A thing is neither good nor bad, but thinking makes it so."
"Expectation is the root of all heartache."
Now before anyone gets upset or put out at these, a) They're from Shakespeare, not me; if you disagree, or don't like, or want to argue about them, go find the Bard's gravesite, and argue with him, I'm not in the mood, b) they're just words, take them, or leave them, I don't care; but they have meaning for me.

Konrad Lorenz worked not far from my childhood home in the Max Planck Institute on animal behaviour. Famous for finding the imprinting mechanism in young birds. He said ( more or less like this, and it wasn't just a joke) : "This long lost missing link between the apes and the human, I have found it! It is us."

My mom "It will come home to you".

Watch out where the huskies go, don't you eat that yellow snow.

This is a quote that one of the characters in my book says, and I have used it ever sense.

Damn it.
Love you.

"I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one." - Albert Einstein

"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion." - Carl Sagan

"I care to live only to entice people to look at Nature's loveliness." - John Muir
