That's deep. You mean we can actually remember things? Must give it a go!

[Natsu]

My all-time favourite:

"You can give up control, but you can't give up responsibility. Responsibility will still be yours".

I don't remember the exact sentence, but this is what it meant. And it changed my way of looking at the world.

[Dive Bomb]

My favorite is

"Live in paradox" from the article "The Courage to Live Conciously"

Is this not from Brian Tracy?

That responsibility quote is largely a platitude. It would be a mistake to attribute it to me. I've heard similar ideas from many speakers, including Brian Tracy. In a few of my articles I took the idea and expanded on it with more detail than I've seen elsewhere, but I didn't invent the original idea.

One can ready about it in the "Maximum Achievment" book which is on the recommended books list.

I like this one very much :

"The word safe is both an adjective and a noun. As an adjective it means “being free from danger.” As a noun it’s “an enclosed storage container with a lock on it.” If you’re living the adjective, you’re living the noun too." - Steve Pavlina

Thanks Steve!

[Max Power]

There is no spoon

No, wait, Steve didn't say that

"You're God and you've used your God powers to make youself powerless"

or something like that.

Enjoy!

"If someone offers you a gift, and you decline to accept it, the other person still owns that gift. The same is true of insults and verbal attacks." Steve Pavlina, How to Win an Argument, 08-31-05

Here lies John, who passed away
While answering his email one day.
No friend, no child, no loving mate
Could keep poor John from working late.
With each new mail, he worked like hell
To click ”reply” instead of “del.”
A prompt response he’d always give
But somehow he forgot to live.

From conscious procrastination -- a great article by the way, so for those who haven't read it, do so now... or later.

“If someone offers you a gift, and you decline to accept it, to whom does the gift belong?”

That is Buddha quote, wise one at that...

Goes to show that there is never anything new under the sun... Buddha said it one way... Steve said it another way... and I say, "Si quelqu'un t'offre un présent et que tu le refuses... à qui appartient-il...???" (French for, “If someone offers you a gift, and you decline to accept it, to whom does the gift belong?”)

I agree with Natsu on "You can give up control, but never responsibility." It has to be the number one quote on this site, at least for me. There are many that give me a good chuckle, but there are too many to remember. Here's to many more meaningful quotes.

"Fill out government paperwork in crayon"

"When in doubt, act boldly, as if it were impossible to fail."
-Steve Pavlina

Don't remember which article this was from, but I loved it as soon as I read it. I even use it as my signature line in my email sometimes

[Erin Pavlina]

My favorite:

"Would you like a foot massage, dear?"

This is actually a quotation of Dorothea Brande, in her book "Wake Up and Live." An unrelated point, but I had a college professor once say that quote is a verb, quotation is the noun, although you will even see PhDs in English making this mistake.

[tjinan]

I really like these quote

"If you forget the first nine suggestions, just focus on genuinely helping people, and the rest will take care of itself."

It’s as if getting a job somehow drains all the free will out of people and turns them into spineless cowards. Today it’s wage slavery. Even well-paid white collar workers are falling into this trap. -Steve Pavlina.

"What you believe is up to you. But let it be up to you intentionally. Choose your beliefs consciously.

If you don't choose your beliefs consciously, then someone else will do it for you." Steve Pavlina. (In the article Spirituality Vs Intelligence).

[{aspiring_to_clarity}]

Don’t be afraid to take stabs at the edges of your certainty.

-- Steve Pavlina from You Have the Right to Be Wrong

[ArthurHung]

From Article: Knowing When to Break a Commitment:

If I make a commitment at one level of awareness and then reach a new level of awareness where that commitment is clearly wrong, then I will break that commitment. If this gets you bent out of shape, then you probably don’t want me in your life. It’s best not to read this blog then. It’s not a question of what’s merely right for me; I think hard about what’s best for the highest good of all. In this case it’s very clear to me that completing my software book would not be for the highest good of all. If that means I damage my credibility with a few people in the process, then I’ll pay that price.

This is my attitude and has been such for as long as I can remember. Seeing it written out so concisely and so eloquently had a major impact on me.

This one is an amazing one, too. It's funny and somewhat uncanny that sometimes you have been doing certain stuff all your life (such as choosing your beliefs), but never have thought about it in those terms. And still, despite the fact that you've done it before, reading it put into words is empowering... I wouldn't have written it, but after reading it, it was such a huge truth it was obvious. One of the best.

Great one, too
