Thinking about something I was discussing with the daughter the other day got me to thinking about wisdom I've found from movie quotes. So, I thought I'd pass certain ones along today. In the comments, feel free to contribute any movie wisdom you use.
"Be nice until it's time to not be nice." - Roadhouse
"Never give up. Never surrender." - Galaxy Quest
"Never say die, but very frequently say 'Ouch'." - The Thief and the Cobbler
"An ounce of pretension is worth a pound of manure." - Steel Magnolias
"Stupid is as stupid does." - Forrest Gump
"Have fun storming the castle." - The Princess Bride
"There is no try. There is only do or do not." - The Empire Strikes Back
"It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Was going to use The Princess Bride - have fun storming the castle - but you already have that. And I love the last one - I really should post that on my bulletin board...or tattoo it backwards on my forehead!
ReplyDeleteGreat words of wisdom, B.E. - thanks :)
OH MY GOD you quoted Roadhouse! I don't know anybody who's ever quoted Roadhouse except me!
ReplyDeleteAnd I could quote Princes Bride all day. I actually have... on Twitter! Haha.
I especially like 'Never give up, never surrender'.
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes! thanks for sharing!
ReplyDelete"Do or do not, there is no try" (I think it was Yoda) was my class quote when I graduated.
