Take the Cotton Out of Your Ears and Put it in Your Mouth

http://ballyblog.wordpress.com/quotes-to-live-by/

“It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”

Mark Twain

            This is one quote that I have always liked and agreed with. I believe that it basically means it’s sometimes better to just stay quite and not always voicing your opinion. Because even if people have an opinion of you for not opening your mouth. It’s better to open it and make a fool out of yourself in front of people. Especially when arguing you tend to say things at the heat of the moment that you may not even believe or agree with. But because your heated or upset you say things that you could regret and could make you look dumb. So I totally agree that sometimes it’s better to just sit back and keep your mouth shut even if it makes people question or have an opinion on them. Rather then open it and prove them to be right.

Past, Present, and Future

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. — Buddha

    This quote is a quote that I should probably pay attention to. I always either look in my past and thats good, everyone knows that. I stress way to much because I do not know what I want to do in my future. I need to learn to stay in the present and live day by day. Live each day like you are not going to have a tomorrow. You only live once so live life to the fullest, make it your best.

Inspiring

Work like you don’t need money, love like you’ve never been hurt, and dance like no one’s watching

          This quote caught my eye, because I have heard of the saying ‘dance like no one is watching’ but I never heard the full version of this quote. This is how I would love to live my life and it is how everyone should. I hate working so much, but you should take pride in your work. If you love like you have never been hurt, then you won’t miss out on something that could have been great. If you dance like nobody is watching, you will never feel stupid. I love this quote, it is very inspiring.

Famous for Fifteen

“I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of ”work,” because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don’t always want to do. The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep.”        -Andy Warhol

       I found this quote looking for Andy Warhol’s famous quotes, because everything he says is damn creative and a good way to look at life. I look at this quote as a lazy student, like he is saying living, alone, is the best job and is hard enough. You are always working, even if you are not doing things you do not want to do or are sleeping. Andy Warhol was very passionate about his work as a painter, moviemaker, and the artist known for so many great masterpieces.
