Quotable FB shoutouts

For the first time in a long time, I've had time going through my FB wall --- deleting unnecessary posts, collecting cool links and extracting quotes I had posted ages ago. The latter I will post here so I have a copy in case FB wall post has limits. You're free to quote em; the ones with double quotation marks are some I just collected somewhere.

•  It's sad to see some parents still needing parenting. Some people just don't know when to grow up.
• I learned something today: It's great to have someone whom you can tell everything---especially things that, for most people, you have to edit.
• You can love someone special, but you may not, especially if one of you is taken.
• Just because one doesn't talk doesn't mean one isn't listening.
• It's amazing what your "hello" or silence can do. Either is enough to make a person stay... or go away.
• Don't you think you've stuck the knife in my back far enough? Now, stop twisting it.
• If the only tremendous thing you have is a tremendous grasp of the obvious, don't be proud. Dig deeper.
• "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." --Benjamin Franklin
• If your request is declined or ignored, don't sulk over it --or worse, plot revenge. There's a reason they're called "requests". So, chill. ;)
•  Indeed, life is like reading a beautiful book; you'll never know what's gonna happen in the next chapter. :)
• "A deadline is a negative inspiration. Still, it's better than no inspiration at all."
• Sometimes "good" and "alright" are just not enough; it's gotta be "great"!
• If conceive is for conception; deceive, deception; perceive, perception; receive, reception; what about inception? Love the movie by the way... :)
• "They say true friends can go long periods of time without speaking and never question their friendship. These types of friends pick up just like they spoke yesterday, regardless of how long it has been or how far apart they live."
• "Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car."
• I'm not a saint; no living person is. People don't see a halo above my head so I can't expect them to treat me differently. It is important to keep my feet on the ground when my head's in the clouds (note: read this to yourself for more effective result).
• That money does not make the world go round is a false notion; it's a myth. The truth is, while money isn't everything, it isn't nothing either. Wanting more is just a rational behavior. Take it or leave it.
• When trials come my way, I buckle up like I'm gonna die. When they're over, I pat myself on the back. Now here's one, and I'm looking forward to the "patting" part. But first, I must buckle up.
• ‎"Moving on" means embracing the fact that you no longer mean a thing to the person who means everything to you. Let that definition get into your system and experience a breath of fresh air. It's the most wonderful feeling, you'll see.
• "Don’t let your mind wander – it’s far too small to be let out on its own."
• "Tests are a good tool to enhance students' faith. As long as there are tests, there will be prayer in schools."
• "Are men from Mars and women from Venus? No, both are from Earth. Deal with it."
• Sometimes you lose temper when your ego is hurt, but still the coolest approach really is to turn your other cheek. There's joy in seeing your opponent's jaw drop.
• "Chocolate, men, coffee – some things are better rich."
• “We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before a word has been spoken.”
• ‎"Speak when you are angry, and you will make the best speech you’ll ever regret."
• "You only live once, but if you work it right, once is enough."
• "It takes patience to listen; skill to pretend you are listening."
• "People will complain about anything, but that doesn't mean they're worth listening to."
• "Sometimes I need what only you can provide: your absence."
• ‎"I’m not listening, but keep talking. I enjoy the way your voice makes my ears bleed."
• "There’s too much blood in my caffeine system."
• In love, there's no black and white. There's only you and me.
• "I miss you a little, I guess you could say; a little too much, a little too often, and a little more each day."
• "There is no difference between a wise man and a fool when they fall in love."
