The quotes I would like to blog about are: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you", ad one of my favorites, "It takse courage to stand up and speak, but it takes MORE to sit down and listen.". "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." The golden rule. The ONE thing that EVERYONE remembers from the Bible. I have a friend, Troy Shough, who is an atheist. HE knows that saying. Basically, the saying means to just treat others nicely if you want to be treated nicely. You have to give respect to get it. And while we are on the subject of respect, I'll talk about that other quote. "It takes courage to stand up and speak, but it takes MORE to sit down and listen." I think it is kind of self-explanatory. If someone is talking over you, you will not be heard. Guess who gets the shorter straw there? They do. I someone is talking over you, you will not be heard. But they will not be LISTENED to. If someone says that they are braver than you because they are NOT afraid to get up in your face, and talk this and that, you are braver for walking away. If someone say that this guy is BRAVER than you because he can TALK, YOU are braver because you can LISTEN. I cannot stress enough the importance of listening! I none of us had the.. the VALIANCE to listen, every one would drown themselves out in an endless uproar. Therefore, I believe that BOTH of these sayings are important to ALL men. And women. The quote that my mom uses repeatedly is, "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! GO TO YOUR ROOM!"(just kidding.) My mom does't really recite QUOTES, exactly, but when she talks, she really FEELS and MEANS what she says, and I respect her for that. Phrases from songs that could be used as quotes... there are TOO many! Two come to mind immediately, however. Those are: "Cards are on the table, I'm NOT folding; its time to take a gamble with the hand that I've been holding." I think that that quote means that you shouldn't spend all of your life running away, and looking for better situations, because there is no perfect situation. You should make the best of what you have in life, and be grateful for having anything. The other is, "Too much of ANYTHING will make you an addict." This is also full of meaning, this little tiny sentence actually means something BIG. I know, I'm just a little crazy... Anyway, I think that this means that there is a such thing as too much of a good thing. You can become addicted to too much effort, or too much organization. Relax before you give yourself an ulcer. You can become addicted to too MUCH relaxing. Do SOMETHING before your brain shuts down like a=the computer that it is, from inactivity. You can have too much of a bad thing. Fix it before it destroys you. You can have too much of a GOOD thing. Fix it before it RUINS you. As for quotes from athletes, I find a lot of them inspiring. "Just do it." - Lebron James. Those three words could make ONE 100 lb. man move a mountain. Size does't matter, it's WILL that counts. It isn't the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog. Michael Jordan for example, has FIVE great quotes that I can think of offhand. They are: "I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.", "I've never been afraid to fail.", "I can accept falure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.", "I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come. I don't do things half-heartedly. Because I know if I do, then I can expect half-hearted results.", and my personal favorite, "My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a STRENGH." Michael Jordan is a very WISE man. He may not have been smart, he could have had an IQ of six, for all I know, but he was WISE. He told people how to live their LIVES while talking about JUST BASKETBALL! Imagine if everyone on the planet were as WISE as Michael Jordan. Imagine that. Go on, do it. There would be no MURDER, no RAPE. NO EVIL OTHER THAN SATAN HIMSELF.

The quote i picked was "they didnt just fall there".It means you have to work for your goals.You must work to reach what your doing because there never handed to you.There is a quote that Micheal Irving a former, Dallas Cowboy football player said its, "If you fall get up stay up and never give up".Its inspiring because it means if you mess up just do it again and never give up on what your working on.

The quote i chose was.. "A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you all the same.♥" It means that you could tell somebody everything and they would still love you nomatter what. They will always be there for you. The most common used quote is "Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you." My Pap-pap always says "Live yous life like there is no tommorrow." The song Broken by Lifehouse has a great quote in it. :) "I'm falling apart, barely breathing with a broken heart, that's still beating. In your name I find meaning, In the pain, is there healing." That quote is amazing. That is definitly my favorite song ever. The quote "As simple as it sounds, we all must try to be the best person we can: by making the best choices, by making the most of the talents we've been given." It was written by Mary Lou Retton, She is also my hero. I look up to her alot.

The quote I chose was "Those on top of the mountain, didn't fall there.♥" I think it means that you have to work very hard to reach your goals and dreams. Or in their words, you have to work as hard as you can to climb all the way to the top of the mountain. You don't just end up where you want to be. It may be a long and hard fight to the top, but if you want it that badly, you'll eventually make it. The most common quote i hear is, "Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you." I'm not really sure what this means, but i hear it all the time. My great pappy always said "People may think they're better than you, but really, you're just as great if not better." This is the only quote that i remember from him, but I think it's very meaningful, and true. My favorite quote in the song let me go by 3 doors down is, "In my head there's only you now, this world falls on me. In this world there's real and make believe, this seems real to me." It came from one of my favorite songs ever. Another quote is "If the world was perfect, it wouldn't be." by Yogi Berra. I'm not really a fan of his, but i like it.

the quote i chose was..."if you see someone without a smile,give them one of yours" I love this quote because as soon as i read it it stood out to me. it basically means if u see someone with out a smmile ...smile at them because maybe they are having a bad day or just dont feel like smiling and if you smile at them first they most likely will the next time!!!!! one quote my mom is famous for saying to me and my sis is:" don't wait till tomorrow what you can do today" she says this very often to me. for example in WV history we have a bunch of worksheets due Thursday well Mr.Patrick assigned it last week and everyday sense then i have put it off!!!! so i know the next time this wont happen. so quotes come in handy and give great advice if you think about it.

Refusing to ask for help when you need it is refusing someone a chance to be helpful. When you need help and someone offers it and your being stubborn, you should be thankful that somebody is asking and after they help you, you made them feel gratefull as do you. My dad uses a quote everytime we get into a fight. " Don't bite the hand that feeds you". Cherish Yesterday, Dream tomorrow, and live today.

No day is over if it makes a memory. This means that if you remember something good about a day of your life, then it was worth living. The most common quote is "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" even though this quote is very old, everyone still knows it. One phrase from a song that could be used as a quote is "just keep holding on because me and you will make it through". This tells that no matter what, you can make it thorugh anything, together. "It is not true that nice guys finish last. Nice guys are winners before the game even starts."- Addison Walker I really like this quote. To me, it says that just because you're not the most competitive, that doesn't mean you aren't a winner.

Our successes is only as big as our dreams means that dream big, set your goals high and you will come out a winner in whatever you are doing. The most common quote used is do unto other as they would do unto you. i have failed over and over again and thats why i succeed. MICHAEL JORDAN.

Those on top of mountains didn't fall there, that means that people have to work hard to get where they are and it doesn't just happen.
I think the most common phrase used in this vedio is Do unto others as they would do unto you,i hear that all the time.
My mom always tells me and my brothers treat others as you would want to be treated. She also tells me after a game or meet when i'm sore that pan is just weekness leaving the body.
I can't think of anything from a song that would be a good quote.
My favorite quotes from an athlet is by Mia Hamm and it is If a team wants to intimidate you phisically and you let them they've won. I also like a quote by a basketball couch -Phil Jackson- " Good teams become great ones when the members trust eachother enough to surrender the 'me' for the 'we'."

The quote I chose was "To lead the symphony, you must occasionally turn your back on the crwod." It means that someone is trying to do something in your benifit, and you you think they are turning on you, but they are really trying to help you. Sometimes, you have to look at the over-all piture or outcome, rather than every little detail.

I think the most commom quote that is used is "Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you."

My parents always say "A watched pot never boils." It always bums me out when I'm making oodles of noodles. So I watch it more. Maybe that's why it takes like an hour to make macaroni & cheese (:

It might not be used as a great quote, but I like it. It's used in the song, "I'm Already There" by Lone Star. It says " I'm already there, take a look around. I'm the sunshine in your hair, I'm the shadow on the ground. I'm the whisper in the wind, I'm your imaginary friend, and I know I'm in your prayers, I'm already there." I really like that (:

For the athlete quote, I used this one..."I hated every minute of training, but I said, don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life a champion."
- Muhammad Ali

The quote i picked "Those who are at the top of the moutian did not fall there." It meaning is that you have to work hard and go beyond the work of others. Its not just giving to you. The common quote is "do un to others". A quote that my grandparents oftenly use is "do un to others as you would have done un to you". A song with a quote is "lifes like a highway". A inspiring quote from a sports movie is from "Rocky 5" the qoute is "its not how hard you can hit, it is how hard you can get hit and get back up."

The quote i picked was your friends know all about you and still love you that quote means that you can trust somone enough that you can tell them all about you and not have to worry about then going and making rumors you can tell them that you need help with somthing or even come to them when you were down and they would help you with whatever it is and you will always a have shoulder to lean on and they will help you in lfe and if they are one of the friends that will say they are your best but they will talk about you wit others that is called FAKE people and people shouldnt be like that and your good friend wont do that and that is what you call a (GOLDEN FRIEND) David____________Rowe

I picked the quote was "Those on the top of the mountain didn't fall there". It means you must try and work for somthing. You cant just hope everything will come to you. You must achieve it and go for it. Over the summer i went to shepards for a leaership camp, and while I was there I remember on the proffesors say "To get finished you have to get started wich means almost the exacy same thing. It is telling you to do somthing before it gets done. It won't just happen for you. I heard this on espn, but i don't know who said it "Work to your fullest, and relax to your best". I found it funny, but true.

The quote i thin k is the best is "Those on top of the mountain, didn't fall there." I think that it means that you have to work hard to suceed to your goals.So if your on top saty there.My dad always tells me "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog" . A few of my favorite quotes would have to be "The road to Easy Street goes through the sewer." - John Madden. But my all time favorite ones that I will always remember are - "I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." - Michael Jordan "Even when I'm old and grey, I won't be able to play it, but I'll still love the game." - Michael Jordan

The quote "those on top of the mountain didn't fall there" means that your not the best automaticly.
It means you have to try to be the best and pratice at something to be great at it. You don't just get the glory of being the best handed to you like you would probably want,so you have to work for whatever it is because it doesn't have to be a sport that you want to be the best at.

The Quote i am going to write about is " our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising everytime we fall". What this quote is trying to tell people is people don't like to fall,we fall all the time, but even if you do fall always rise up. If you fall and you hurt yourself and people are laughing at you, dont pay any attention to them try and get up, it wont hurt to try.(; One quote my mom always tell me is " the more i meet people, the more i like dogs" this quote means some people arn't very nice or dependable or reliable but if you have a dog it doesnt matter because it loves you nomatter what.♥
" I was built to be the best, number one and nothing less, lead me to my destiny, i have waited patiently,i have visions, oh i believe, i know i can count on me."
that is one of my favorite quotes from the song "STAND UP, FOR THE CHAMPIONS" That quote is my alltime favorite because its trying to tell you to always do your best and dont let anyone tell you that you cant do something and that youll always be number one if you think positive.♥

The quote, a flower that follows the sun, does even on cloudy days, means that you should allways be possitive or happy even on bad days. I think the most commonly used quote in the video is do unto others as you would have them do unto you. My parents use that quote alot. One of my favorite songs is Up by Shania Twain. my favorit line is you can only go up from here. I listen to that song whenever I feel that i am just doing as bad as bad and just not doing well. I am not a big sports fan and I dont have a favorite quote from an athlete.

The people on top of the mountain didnt fall their,this means that you have to work at to succeed in life.The most common quote would have to be "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". My grandma always says Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

The quote i picked was "Those that are on top of the mountain, did not fall there". I think the meaning of this is that the people that have more than others have worked at it, it wasn't just given to them. My dad says that "you must be young and stupid before your old and wise". Some of my favorite qoutes are "I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying." - Michael Jordan, and "If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose." -Derek Jeter.

My favorite quote from the video was "The person pulling the oars doesn't have time to rock the boat." This means if you are busy doing the work, you won't have time to cause trouble. If you want to keep people from getting into trouble, you should keep them busy. I think the most common quote used in the video was "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". My Dad says a quote that goes like this, "A smooth sea never made a skillful sailor." It means doing something easy instead of a challenge won't make you any better.

A day isn't over if it makes a memory. It means if you do something unusual or different it will create a memory that you will remember for a very long time. Do to others as you wish them to do to you, "a.k.a. The Golden Rule," is the most common quote from the video. My parents, grandparents, or coaches don't repeat any quotes from the video. From one of the beatles songs they say,"money can't buy me love." There isn't any quotes i know of from any athletes.

The most common quote is " Do unto others as you would want ot treated". My great-grandpa always said " If your a listener you will learn more and becaome more intelligent". It kind of remonds me of myself because i do not talk alot in class instead i listen. And i understand more things.I dont really have a favorite quote or anything. I Think they all have a meaninig.

After watching Great Quotes, I picked, “A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.” I think it means ideas live on forever. Even though the world may change, people might die, and your surroundings change, ideas will always be there no matter what. The most common quote in this video is, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” My parents say to me a lot if everybody else jumped off a bridge would you do it. I do not know any songs that would make a good quote. My favorite quote from an athlete is from Michael Jordan. He said, “Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.”

In this video I love the quote "If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours." I think that means if you see someone that might be having a bad day or isn't very cheery that day make an effort to make them smile, or laugh. The most common quote in this video is "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." This is just saying, treat people the way you would want to be treated.

My mom always says, "Kill people with kiddness," what she means by that is when someone is trying to make you feel bad or they are being mean to you just be nice and they will realize you are a good person. My mom also says, "You need a lot of friends to get through life." When my mom tells me that quote she is trying to tell me to be nice to everyone you may need them sooner than you think.

A quote that I really admire is
"There's always going to be another mountain.
I'm always going to want to make it move.
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side.
It's te climb."
-Miley Cyrus
This quote is demonstrating that even tough we have stuggles in our daily lives whatever you mountain is you can get to the top, it may not be easy, but it's not immpossible.

"I have missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot... and missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
-Michael Jordan
I like this quote from him just beause even though he has failed or messed up many times that doesn't mean he gave up, or stopped trying.

the the quote do unto others as you would have them do unto you means treat others how you would like to be treated if you treat them meanly then they will be mean back to you, treat them with kindness and they wil be kind in return.
the most common qoute i hear everyday is a freind is someone wo can know everything about you and still love you the same.
my parents use the quote if you try and fail dont give up but try try again.
the phrase in michale jacksons man in th mirror song, if you want to make the world a better place take a look at yourself and make a change.

The quote I choose is "Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you".It simply means treat others the way yu want to be treated.If you hate being picked on don't do it to others because you wouldnt like it if it was you."If you dont have anything nice to say then dont say anything at all.I dont think its a quote that i hear repeatedly.My friend has a quote that i like."Don't Let Yesterdays Defeat Prevent Todays Success".I dont kno if i would call this a quote but my favorite rapper said "I can Weather Watever Storm and Make It Out Without a Bruise".He saying he can be in any situation but at the end he will make it.

The quote from the video that I like the most is "Some people grumble that roses have thorns, while others are thankful that thorns have roses." It means, and this is an example, that my brother and sister might not happy to have me in their lives, but I am happy and appreciative that I have my little brother and my big sister in mine. Is not true about my brother and sister not wanting me it was just an example. The most common quote in this video would be "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." It means that if you expect them to be nice to you, you should be nice to them. My Dad's favorite quote is "Never give up and never give in." It means exactly what it says. Don't stop trying until you succeed, but when you succeed try to get better. "If you want to make the world a better place take a look at yourself, and make a change."- Michael Jackson, Man in the Mirror. It means if you want to change something about your life you got to change to change your perspective of it. I do not know any athlete quotes, but I bet there are a lot!

"Those on top of a mountain didn't fall there". I chose this qoute because it means that you have to work to get somewhere in life. I think the most common qoute was do unto others as you would have them do unto you. My grandparents always say wish in one hand and crap in the other which hand will fill up faster. I don't know any phrases that are great qoutes.

The quote I picked form the video was " It takes courage to stand up and speak. It also takes courage to sit down." It takes guts to do something that others wouldn't and it also takes courage to not do things others would. I'm not sure if my parents or grandparents or anyone else I no repeat quotes. Basicly all quotes move me in a way so i dont have a favorite.

The quote that I chose from the movie was: even the sweetest song will sound sour if you don't sing it in your own key. I think that this means that you have to be yourself and not think about how other people see you. The most common quote used in this video is "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". My mom has this saying that always pops up into my mind when my little sister or I have a bad day and are talking about how other people probably saw us and thought about us. It goes like this: Those that mind, don't matter and those who matter, don't mind. I think that this phrase from a song would make a good saying: Why should I change myself into what you think I should be, when all you've got to love is me. I can't reallt think of any sayings from athletes that I find inspiring at the moment.

The quote I'd like to explain is "even the sweetest song soudns sour if it's not sung in your own tune" I think it means that no matter how good something is one way it would be even better to you if it was your way or how you would do it. There really isn't a most common quote but more of a common ideal which is be happy, trust yourself, and treat others well. My parents always say "do unto others as you would have others do unto you. I find the quote about surfing inspiring because it's basically telling you that you can't do everything on your own, so when you can't you need to believe in those who can.

I like the quote "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." I think this quote means if you want to be treated fairly, then you have to treat others fairly. My mom says that all the time. My soccer coach repeatedly says "Get in the light" meaning don't stand behind a defender, get open for the ball. That can also be used in life meaning don't stand by idly and let the world go by, get involved in what's going on. A great quote from a song is "Don't worry, be happy." This quote means try to forget about what's bothering you because everything has a way of working out. A great quote from athletes that I've heard is "Play the game, don't let the game play you." I think this quote means that if you are going to play then play to win and fight for a win, don't just let the other team stomp all over you.

the qoute I have is a flower that follows the sun does so even on cloudy days.It means that a person does what he/or she is supposed do even when things get harder and harder.It takes courage to stand up and speak and it takes courage to sit down and listen. The quote my dad uses is "a hard head makes a bumped head". You gotta keep holding on, you gotta be strong is a phrase from a song that could be a great quote.Michael Phelps.

“Even the sweetest song will sound sour if it is not sung in your own key.” Well, I can come up with two different but quite similar explanations for this quote. My first clarification is that you can live the greatest life and have anything you want but if you don’t live life to the fullest, it wont mean anything. For example, in the book The Outsiders, the Socs have everything they could ever want yet they are mean to others. Like they always say, you can respect others if you don’t respect yourself. Obviously, The Socs probably don’t have much self-respect. My other justification is that you can be very pretty, but not being yourself can make you come off as being ugly. When I say that I can imagine my mom yelling at me, “Rachel Diane Martin! Clean off that eyeliner from under your eyes! You look like a vampire! Let your inner beauty sine through.” She kind of has a point. Although I think vampires are awesome (Yes, I’m obsessed with Twilight. Team Edward!) I try to cover everything with makeup. Just as long as I stay nice and true to myself, I think that’s all that really matters.

The quote from this video that I’ve heard and seen the most is “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” I’ve heard it many times and I will never forget it. I believe there is a verse in the bible that is similar to it but I can’t remember it at the moment. I’ve seen the same picture in my social studies book from a few years ago. I also saw that picture at the United Nations in New York City.

To my knowledge, there isn’t a specific quote that my parents, grandparents, and coach say repeatedly. I’m very glad that they don’t because that would get extremely annoying after a while.

A very inspiring song is “God Loves Ugly” by Jordin Sparks. There’s not one specific line that I find inspiring but the song is mostly about how even if people on Earth may think you are ugly, God loves you and thinks that everyone is beautiful in their own way. When I am down in the dumps, I sometimes listen to that song on my iPod to help me realize that there is someone who loves me unconditionally.

This quote isn’t by an athlete, but it is from a singer, which I find to be close enough. It is my life. “Girls are like apples...the best ones are at the top of the trees. The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples that are on the ground that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think there is something wrong with them, when, in reality, they are amazing. They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree...” That was said by Pete Wentz and whenever I boys are jerks, I try to remember that quote so I can keep my chin up.

Lots of Love!

When bullies are a janitor for a this biulding a nerd runs the nerd shoulndt let the bully even have the job because of the quote "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." People dont realize that bullies only bully people because of thier insecurities thats why they pick on people because they dont want people to know about thier insecurities.

The quote I choose to blog about was "If you see someone without a smile, give them one of your's". I think that means if you see someone sad or feeling discouraged then maybe say hi or smile, to let them know you noticed them and that they are special. The most common quote in this video would have to be "Do unto others as you would them do unto you". My parents, especially my mom, uses this quote when me and my brother are fighting or when I'm having problems with friends. I love getting quotes from songs! Since I love so many I will give a few ha: " I'm so scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young" - John Mayer,
"Love turns the whole thing around"- John Mayer, and last one I promise "Its better to say too much then never say what you need to say again"- Also a John Mayer quote.
He has many more good quotes but, those are just a few. I love all his songs! He is so inspirational! A quote that is from a athlete that I find very inspiring is "Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen" by Michael Jordan.

"some people think roses have thorns, others are thankful thorns have roses" this quote means that even the meanest, ugliest people can be something beautiful on the inside. "do unto others as others do unto you" is the most common quote because i hear people say that all the time. my stepdad says "too many chefs spoil the soup". A good phrase from a song is "live your life" because it says a lot. I dont really know any quotes from athletes.

The quote i picked is "No day is over if it makes a memory". This means there is something some-what good to remember about everyday and you can look back on that to keep you going if you don't have a good day. The most common quote in the video is "Do unto others as you would have them to do unto you." One quote i think is inspiring is "You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get." -Micheal Phelps

The quote I am going to talk about is "no day is over if it makes a memory." This means that you will always remember, if you have a memory. The day will never end if it's special enoough to make a memory. You always have memories so you will never forget, and if you don't forget the day won't ever end. I picked this quote because it reminds me of all of my good and bad memories. I only like the good ones. You will have a lot of memories some will be sad, mad, happy, exciting, scary, ect. Memories are your life. It reminds you of all the good and bad times in you're life.

"The person who is pulling the oars doesn't have time to rock the boat." I think this quote means if your really truthfully giving what you're doing 100% then you won't have time to bug and torture others and you won't be goffing off yourself. You'll get your job done so much better. The most common quote in this video is "Do unto others as ytou would have them do unto you." I think we mostly hear this as "Treat others ht ewayyou want to be treated." My mom once used the quote "It's better to have loved and to lost than to have never loved at all." This means its better to have loved someone and had them die rather than to just have not loved anyone. I'm almost positive there are great quotes in songs, I just can't think of any at the moment. I don't know anything about athletes so I have no idea if they've made any great quotes.

The most common quote and the one I would like to blog about is "do unto others as you would have the do to you." it's saying to treat and react to everyone as you would want them to act to you. I remember both of my parents telling this quote to me. Um one of my favoure songs,funny the way it is by David Matthews band, has very good and meaningful lyrics that could be used as a song. I think all the lyrics would make great quotes.

The quote I chose was if someone doesn’t have a smile, give them one of your smiles. If someone is not smiling or having a bad day, a smile can make some ones day better by giving joy. Smiles can be passed or given to people who are not having any joy. The quotes can be used to help someone when they are having a bad day.
All the quotes in the video all had the meaning that to never give up and keep trying. All the quotes meant that you have to do something in order to get something done. Once you have begun something, you may be on a roll so that you don’t quit in the middle.
The quote that my family uses is “Showing up is the half of the battle.”It means that you can’t do the work if you don’t show up to do it. Just be prepared. I
The quotes can be used to help someone when they are having a bad day.
I think that many of the songs that Daughtry sings are full of good quotes. Nichelbacks “If Today was Your Last Day” is a making these good quotes.
One quote from Mary Lou Retton was “Many athletes competing in Atlanta wouldn't be here if it weren't for corporate support.”Many people won’t continue competing if no one supports them without fans to support to know that they can or cannot.

I picked the quote "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." That means that if you treat other people badly, expect them to treat you badly also. Although, if you treat them good, they should do the same thing to you. So, if you are nice to other people, they will like you better and be nicer to you. My grandma always says, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."
I don't know of any song that you could make with the quotes. Maybe you could... I don't know:) I also don't know any quotes from athletes, so umm...Bye!!

The quotes i'd like to write about would have to be.About when people are getting treated badly then you don't just let it happen you try to help them solve there problem,if there is no way that you can solve that that problem then you should look for someone that could help.The reason for that is because you just have to put yourself in the same position that they are in because just imagine if you were getting bullied around you wouldnt like it so all i can say is that if you dont want to be bullied then dont bully others around.So never bully people if you dont wany yo be bullied.

The quote i wanted to write about is "A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same."
Why I picked this was for the reason of friendship.I have alot of friends but one bestfriend! My bestfriend I can tell anything to,but someone who is just a friend i can't do that. I mean I can tell them some stuff but not what I can tell my bestfriend.
To me a bestfriend is one who you can basically tell your whole life to! Or wont judge you for the things you say and do.
They just LOVE you for who you are, thats why i love my BESTFRIEND♥

The quote i picked is "Those who wish to sing always find a song." I think this quote means that even although you may be having a bad day, there can always be a happy ending. This quote can help me though bad days.

The most common quote from the video is “Do unto others as other would do unto you." I am used to hearing this quote from my parents. It's usually when my brothers and are fight, or i say something rude to someone. My mom is a very positive person. The quote my mom says to me is “Think in a positive way and your action will result in a positive way." This has helped me to be positive!

The quotes i would like to talk about are "those on top of the mountain didn't fall there" and "to lead a symphony you must occasionlly turn your back on the crowd". The first quote means that you have to work hard to conquer what you want to acheive. The second quote means you should listen to your own opinions. The most common quote is beleive in yourself. One of my mom's favorites is " You reap what you sow". The quote that Micheal Phelps uses that i like is "shut up and swim".

To do unto others as you would have them do unto you means treat others nice and they will do the same. My parents use this quote way to much. They mostley say it to my brother zach though. One song would be dont stop beleiving. One quote is : It's not if you win or loose it's how you play the game.

The quote I decided to blog about is do unto others as you would have do unto you. It mens treat others with respect as you would want them to treat you with respect. The most comon quote used in this video is probably the one I choose. My mom always uses the quote what goes around comes around. The song Life Is A High Way is a good quote. Their are many athletes who inspire like Michel Phelps, Hines Word, and Paten Manning. But I can't think of any quotes by them.

CH0C0L4t3:) said...

My personal favorite would have to be, "Our successes are only as big as our dreams", it means to dream big. If we limit ourselves the outcome will also be limited. I actually dream to big in my opinion. "Do unto others as you have them do unto you", is the most frequently used quote in the video. It is also one of my favorites. You have to first show respect in order to get it, or go out of your way and be nice, for others to treat you the same. My cousin Jordan (20 years of age) always seems to say, "No matter what you start out with, it always ends up being so much less." Paciencia y Fe. which in my perspective is very true. He also likes to say, "If being crazy means living life as if it matters, I don't care if I'm completely insane." and i agree with that too. You find inspiration in the littlest things, I seem to find it in the quotes that my cousin recites."Rather be dead than cool." Kurt Cobain. This quote was not in a song, but those 5 words meant a lot to me. I guess it means that if you try to be cool its going to cause you so much pain. If fitting in meant doing drugs and hurting your health, would you do it? I, much like Kurt, rather be dead also. I don't really follow a certin athlete so I cannot say that I have an inspiring quote.

I do not know of any song lyrcs that yould make great quotes. And no I do not find any athilete quotes inspiring.

I liked the quote, " If someone doesn't have a smile, lend them yours." It means that if somebody is sad or upset you should be a good frien and make them laugh/smile. The most commonly used quote is "Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you." My grandpa used to say, "LIve your life to the fullest, have no regrets" And a good quote from a song is; "Your the one that i want, the one that i need, the one that i gotta have just to succed" A quote from Michael Jordan is my favorite, "I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

I chose the quote "A flower that follows the sun does so even on cloudy days." It means that even if you work really hard toward your goals when their easy, you should also work on them when their hard to. The most common quote in this video is "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." It's a life lesson you can find like everywhere. My parents don't really repeat themselves but they do give me information when i need it. None of my music really has any life lessons in it, it's just random lyrics. Half of it doesn't even have words. I don't really watch sports, so I don't know any athlete quotes.

The quote I would like to blog about is:"Those on top of the mountain didn't fall there." This qoute makes me reflect upon Miley Cyrus's song "The Climb." Life is all about choosing paths and liking who you are at the end of the journey. Getting to the top of the mountain comes with facing challenges ang working through them. I plan to get to the top of my mountain some day but along the way I plan to live life to the fullest!

I would like to explain the quote " Those on top of the mountain didn't fall there." I think it means that nobody automatically gets success. They have to strive towards the things they need, want, and care about.
The most common quote in this video is probably "Do unto others, As you would have them do unto you. My mom always tells me to stay myself dont ever let anybody tell you you can't do something or that you're not good enough, because you know what you are and are not capable of. "A heart is not a whole without the one who gets you through the storm." Michael Jordan- "Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

the quote i chose to blog about is: "get a good idea and stay with it. dog it, and work untill its done and done right!" - walt disney
this quote means if you get an idea work at it with your full potential and attention and dont stop working at it and untill you have reached your goal,and make sure you did it right !

the most common quote is "do unto other as you would have them do unto you!"

a quote one of my 4th grade teachers always told me was "the purpose of life is a life of purpose" it basically means in order to live life to the fullest you need to find your personal purpose and persue it!

this quote is from the song send it on by the disney channel cast
"Send it on
On and on
Just one hand can heal another
Be a part
Reach your heart
Just one spark starts a fire
With one little action
The chain reaction will never stop
Make it Strong
Shine a Light and Send it On.."
this song phrase is sending out a message saying that anyone canstart a good chain reaction that can lead to something wonderful in the future!


"I have missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot... and missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

I can not really think about a quote my parents or Grandparents said. Michael Jordan is my favorite athlete one of Michael's quotes that i liked is... "I realize that I'm black, but I like to be viewed as a person, and this is everybody's wish." This tells no matter what color you are or how you look. You will always be you.

The quote I choose is "It takes courage to stand up and speak, it also takes courage to sit down and listen." What that is saying is its good to stand up for yourself, but sometimes you should just take a break and listen to what other people have to say about the situation. My grandmother says that to me all the time because I always think im right and I dont want to hear what others have to say to me because their automaticly wrong to me.

"Those at the top of the mountain didn't fall there" This is personally one of my favorite quotes from the video. It means that you will never succeed at anything just by not doing nothing. If you do nothing, you will fail. To succeed you must work for and put effort into your goals in life. If you work hard and try your best, you will achieve success. The most common quote in the video is "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". My grandfather always used to say "If you can't make 50cents, make a nickel". My dad told me to listen to a song and use one of the lyrics from it. The song is Roadhouse Blues by the Doors. The quote is "Well, I woke up this morning And I got myself a beer.
The future's uncertain
And the end is always near." I'm not sure it is very appropriate, but I do understand the meaning of it. It means to live your life to the fullest every second of your life. I find this quote from Shaquille O'Neal inspiring.
"Me shooting 40% at the foul line is just God's way to say nobody's perfect."
