I would like you to write here some famous quotes. And not only the ones you agree with but also the ones you think that they are useless, or the ones you disagree with. And I would like you to comment upon these.
I have an example of quotes I enjoy everytime I read.
"Ask yourself whether you are happy, and you cease to be so. " (John Stuart Mill)
I love this quote. It is so real. It reminds about the fact that I must enjoy my happiness, not doubt it. Because, everytime I question my happines I get to conclusions like: "Oh, I may not be this happy, there must be something wrong" or "I am not allowed to be happy when I have these problems", and in the same moment, all the joy dissapears.
"Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven" (John Milton)
This is one of the quotes I disagree with. If heaven and hell would exist, serving for a noble cause in heaven can not be as bad as being a ruler of something evil. Is like you would choose killing a man (because you can rule him this way) rather than serving your mother.
