Some of my Favorite Quotes…EVER

I wanted to do a post that contained quotes that I have read or heard and have stuck with me. I used to use Pinterest to find quotes, or I’d read one in a book and mark it, but now I find quotes everywhere. For example, last month I saw the Cher Musical when it came to town. It was FULL of amazing quotes Cher has said, and there were a few that stuck with me. I’ll start with those:

Cher quotes I love:

• My mom said to me, ‘One day you should settle down and marry a rich man.’ I said, ‘Mom, I am a rich man.”
• “I’ve always taken risks, and never worried what the world might really think of me.”
• “Women have to harness their power—it’s absolutely true. It’s just learning not to take the first no. And if you can’t go straight ahead, you go around the corner.”
• “I don’t know what else I would be if I wasn’t me. I am not looking from the outside, looking back. I am who I am.”
• “Everybody has good things happen and bad things happen, and long stretches where nothing happens at all.”

When I think of quotes that are not related to Cher, but that I absolutely love and sometimes swear by, there are only a handful that come to mind IMMEDIATELY. The first one, of course, being by Walt Disney: “if you can dream it, you can do it.” I could probably go on a tangent about Walt Disney quotes…but I won’t.

Here are some other quotes I’ve kept bookmarked, written down, or found that speak to me:

• “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” – Walt Disney
• “If you look at what you have in life, you’ll always have more. If you look at what you don’t have in life, you’ll never have enough.” — Oprah Winfrey
• “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.” — John Lennon
• “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched — they must be felt with the heart.” — Helen Keller
• “Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths.” — Arnold Schwarzenegger
• “I’d rather regret the risks that didn’t work out than the chances I didn’t take at all.” — Simone Biles
• “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.” — Steve Jobs
