Some of my favourite Quotes

We come across people with various hobbies.Collecting stamps,collecting coins,collecting sweet wrappers,collecting used match sticks blah blah.One of my hobbies over the past few years has been 'Collecting quotes'.You dont need to be a great thinker or a philosopher or a rocket scientist to make sense,sometimes even what a toddler utters out casually can be really thoughtful.Such are my collection of quotes.Gathered from reading,listening to people around and sometimes even dialogues from my favourite movies and tv shows :).I have a huge collection , which is very dear to me,maybe because of the meaning on reading/hearing them or by the meaning i derived when i read/heard them first..My collection of quotes has been my unknown source of strength for quite sometime now.
Nevertheless I have shortlisted a few very interesting ones.Read along and enjoy.


  • Every crown is made for a head,but not every head for a crown.
-Unknown
(This is the most inspiring quote i ve ever come across and remains my all time favourite)


  • Dreams are not what you see in sleep.Dreams are those that do not let you sleep.
-Dr.Abdul Kalaam.

  • Experience is what you get when you dont get what you want.
-Unknown

  • Conscience is the best friend you can ever hope to get.
-I really dont know whose original words were these but i vividly remember my English lecturer in Puc say these words,these were the only few words that he had ever uttered which made sense to me.

  • Everything is funny as long as its happening to someone else.
-Unknown

  • Its better to deserve an honor and not get it,than to get one and not deserve it.
-Mark Twain
(I ve had first hand experience of this in BMS campus,so i would rate this quote really high.)


  • You dont drown by falling in water, you drown by staying there.
-Edward Louis Cole

  • It doesn matter if you are the King or the Pawn,in the end,both come back to the same box after the game. - Unknown


  • Life is not about the number of breaths you take,its the number of moments that take your breath away.
-Dialogue from the movie 'Hitch'
(Its soo strange how true small little sentences like this can be,i loved this quote,loved the movie, love Will Smith !!!!!!!! :) )

  • Opinions are like watches,everyones watch shows a different time,but everyone believes that their time is correct.
-Unknown,but am sure a lot of you guys will agree with this one.

  • Never believe that the lines on your hands lead you to your destiny.because even those without hands have a destiny.
-This was an sms forward which i read.Makes a lot of sense.

  • Love is not love,which alters when it alteration finds.Or bends with the remover to remove.Love alters not with brief hours and weeks,but bears it out even to the edge of doom.
-Being a huge Shakespeare lover,my collection of quotes would be incomplete without his words.
