I love this quote: "I hate losing more than I like winning" By: Charles Barkley
This is inspirational because I'm an athlete
this is 100% true!!
it’s the worst feeling to loose
it’s a great feeling to win but it feels worse to lose!!
Also when it’s a team sport, you ask yourself what could I have done better to contribute
Another life lesson is if you’ve never lost you don’t know what it feels like to win and if you lose you work harder to win!!

"Education is the best provision for the journey to old age."

A quote I really like is "the only way to have a friend is to be one," by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Friends
There was a girl
She was just mean,
But, she tried being nice just to give it a whirl
She was heard, she was also seen
She was noticed by everyone
And everyone soon did care
When she got a call
Plus twenty friends she could not bare

The quote I like is “Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.” By Thomas Jefferson I like it because it’s about a quote to success. To me that’s really inspiring.
Not all things come out right
Put time
Put effort
And
It will come out right
Like Thomas Jefferson said
“Nothing can stop the man
With the right mental attitude from achieving his goal;
Nothing on earth can help the man
With the wrong mental attitude.”
Achieving your goal
Can be
The greatest thing in life

"Be yourself; everone else is already taken." by Oscar Wilde. I like this quote because I am myself and I don't care what people think of me. I am who I am.
I Am Who I Am
I like to be me .
I don't want to be you.
I have blue hair.
I am quiet too.
I have a sense of humor.
I am different at home than at school.
I don't care what people think.
I am who I am.

"Content makes poor men rich; discontentment makes rich men poor."
By Benjamin Franklin.
Money doesn't matter
Happiness is the key
We make happiness
You can't buy happiness
You can't sell happiness
Money can't buy happiness
Poor people have happiness because they make it
Rich people don't have happiness because they are too busy trying to shop for it.

Benjamin Franklin once said, "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." Thus far I have experienced neither, but I imagine the quote to be painfully true. And now, more or less as an afterthought, a free verse poem:
In life, nothing can be certain.
Except death.
And taxes.
In rare cases
The latter results in the former.
So when you consider whether or not to live
Do consider death.
And taxes.

“Successful people don't have fewer problems. They have determined that nothing will stop them from going forward.”
- Ben Carson
I love quotes because they make me think and are good in general. Ben Carson is a great role model and if you read his books, you will see why. For my poem:
Everyone is smart in their own way but not everyone is successful...why?
Everyone has a different perspective,
And these differentiate those people
If a person is chosen to be the 6th best student out of 16 students,
He can either be happy that there are still 10 people behind him,
Or he could think that there are 5 people ahead of him and move forward.
This choice will go a long way to success if he chooses the right one.
However, if he chooses to move forward, then that does not mean he has fewer problems,
That actually means he will have more because he has to work harder.
This is like a friendship.
A good friend will never forget the good things that his friend has done,
But he will always forget what he has done for his friend or the bad things that his friend has done, so that his friendship can last.
There are problems but that doesn't stop the person from moving forward because of his dedication.
Go ahead and find out more about Ben Carson, he shares his personal experiences, and he actually was a terrible student to start with, but now he is one of the best neurosurgeons we have. How?! He shares some fantastic advice and is awesome!

The quote I chose is 'The destination has no meaning, because the journey is the worthier part' by Joss Whedon.
The Destination Has No Meaning
'The destination has no meaning'
I heard the old man say.
I always keep that in my heart,
The words he said that day.
It was about two years ago,
The day I met that man.
When all day I was thinking,
'Look as friendly as you can'.
I saw the old man walking
As I sat there, playing with hairclips
Then I noticed.
'He's not looking at the places,
But he's looking at the ships!'
'Why don't you care where you're going?'
I asked him with a smile.
'Cause I believe the journey
Is what makes it worth the while.
The destination has no meaning'
Is what I heard him say.
I thought, and wondered to myself,
What does it mean anyway?
I thought and finally figured it out,
The puzzle he had left.
It's not about the destination,
But truly how you felt.
The friends you made,
The cards you played,
And how you used your brain.
The questions asked,
The risks you took,
And how you dealt with pain.
'The destination has no meaning'
I heard the old man say.
I always keep that in my heart,
The words he said that day.

One quote that is really inspiring to me is a quote about soccer by Mia Hamm.
She said:
Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.
I try every day in practice to be prefect
But is all that stress really worth it.
I can’t be perfect all the time,
But why do I always worry?
I try so hard not to make a mistake
But how much more can my mind take
When I make a mistake I usually fall,
But now I’m going to stand tall and fix it.

A quote that speaks to me is "A day without laughter is a day wasted"
-anonymus
A day without laughter is a day wasted
life is to short to be sad
it's never to short to be glad
don't ever not laugh
because it's better to laugh at nothing
rather than being sad about something
life is to short to be sad
and a day without laughter
is definitely a day wasted

Happy Little Accidents
Don’t worry about making mistakes, there are none to be made.
A Happily little accident is easily displayed.
But when they are made don’t be afraid.
Just make up a reason why.
The grass is greener than green because it was in the sun too long.
The sky is light blue because of the white clouds.
I’m wearing a my shirt backwards because I don’t like crowds.
A happy little accident, that’d what it is.
A slight little mess up is not the cause.
A misplacement of the imagination caused for relaxation.
Yes, just a happy little accident… and one very dark blob of green paint.
By kacie
This poem is based on the quote from Jordan W.( his last name is way too long to spell.) The Quote would be 'there are no such things as mistakes, just happy little accidents.'. that's where the title of the poem came from, so yeah. It wasn't one of my best poems ever, I admit, but it's still pretty good.

"Let them hate so long as they fear"
"Lucius Accius,"

Sometimes for a reason
Sometimes for not
Just let them hate
So long as they fear
Sometimes they're jealous
Sometimes not
Just let them hate
So long as they fear

"You can shed tears that she is gone, or you..." Is a very famous quote from David Harkins.
I was counting on forever,
So why did you go?
We were best friends
Closer then Peanut Butter and Jelly
Like 2 peas in a pod
Yet you let go
You let the cancer win
When you should’ve held on
Many cried for you
When I was in shock
So why did you go?

My favorite quote is pretty religious, and most would have a hard time understanding it, (also I can't explain it well OR write a poem about it!), so my next favorite saying is "Silence is gold; Duct tape is silver."
“Silence is gold,
Duct tape is silver”
Does this have to rhyme?
Cause then I’m out of luck.
This is very appalling,
That someone might suggest this,
Cause for all the people
Who talk too much,
We are in trouble of having our mouths
Taped shut.
So for those of you who talk too much,
(Including me)
Avoid someone running at you,
With duct tape.
Cause, (if you can’t take a hint),
If someone is running at you,
Trying to tape your mouth shut,
Take a hint,
And just shut up

I found a quote that "speaks to me" “Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.” John F. Kennedy. Here is my “Interpretation Poem”
War
The death of one man is a tragedy; the death of millions is a statistic
Only the dead have seen the end of the war
All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers
When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die
War does not determine who is right, only who is left
In peace, sons bury their fathers. In war, fathers bury their sons
The victor will never be asked if he told the truth
The first casualty when war comes is truth
You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake

A quote I really like is "Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend"
There was a girl
whose heart was as cold as ice
and there was a girl
who was super nice,
this super nice girl
went up to say hello
but all she got was
"buzz off"
and the girl was deterimined
to make her heart soft,
day after day
she kept showing her love
until one day
when the girl had no choice
but to give back the love.

"I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world." ~Thomas A. Edison
This quote really speaks out to me because friendship should not be because the person is popular or rich. Friendship should be true. Friends should just be friends because they know that the other has their back and will never talk behind it. Friends should be able to be friends through rough patches and through soft grass.:)
Friends will never betray you
Nor will they leave you behind
They'll always be beside you
No matter what the time
Friends will always be there
In your times of need or greed
Friendship is beautiful
But only if it is true:)

The quote I chose was:
"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."- Wayne Gretzky
Here is my poem to go with it:
Life is full of opportunities.
If you take a shot and miss, are you a failure?
Trying your best does not equal failure.
The whole point of sports is to take chances and be a risk taker.
When you take a chance will you ever grow from it?
If you don't take a chance you will never move forward.
Are you happy or sad when you take a chance?
When you take a chance, usually something good always comes out of it.
You can never be an athlete if you don't take chances.

My Favorite Inspirational Quote: "It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog."
-Mark Twain
No matter how big you are,
No matter how small you are,
That doesn't matter.
If you have enough confidence inside you,
If you have the power to not give up,
That's a much higher achievement.
When you put enough hard work in,
You will be more powerful inside yourself.

"And my fellow Americans:Do not ask what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.'' -John F. Kennedy.
I chose this quote because we help the country and in return, the country helps us. So does the president. Thats why I chose the quote,'' And my fellow Americans: Do not ask what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.'' -John F. Kennedy.
On the battlefield where soldiers fight for our country
Sacrifices have been made.
These soliders are unselfish
And pure to their leader.
They don't ask for anything in return.
And some give up everything.
They don't ask what their country can do for them
They ask what they can do for their country.

"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." -Dr. Seuss
I think that this is very important like don't be sad of what happened in the past but be happy that you were able to have that oppurtunity instead.
Crying makes you sad
It shows a small sign of weakness
Crying helps and hurts others and yourself
Smiling makes people happy
It makes them wonder why you are happy
You smile because of something good that happened
Crying can mean you were dissapointed with the results
Smile and cry maybe for the same reason but always be greatful and happy for what you did

First of all, there are many quotes that “speak” to me. I even keep a quote journal and write quotes down that I really enjoy or like. I’ve kept this journal since I was VERY little like 2 or 3 I think. Anyway one of my FAVORITE quotes of all is: “Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense.” ~~~ Mark Overby. I like this quote because it is very true. But the quote that speaks out to me the most is: “Every day is a gift that is why they call it the present.” ~~ Unknown.
When everyday you get a new gift.
You wouldn’t be able to choose.
No, not to be swift.
Then it would be this privilege in which you lose.
When everyday is new,
One never the same as before.
Since you were born you grew.
This is not something to ignore.
When everyday you are in the present.
You are no longer in the past.
This should surly be an event
And this is built to last.
When everyday is sure to have a tomorrow,
When you die is not the end
So don’t be filled with sorrow.
You will still have a friend.
When everyday for the rest of forever
You will be in Heaven,
It will never let you go no not ever.
And you still haven’t liven.

The quote that I have chosen is "When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us." - Helen Keller
When happiness is no longer there
We look for other objects
That think makes us happy
But just because there is a smile on our face
Doesn't mean that's true happiness
No that's false happiness
You can't buy happiness nor receive it
But you have to feel it on the inside
This what I thought this quote meant to me.

Good enough will never lurk

"Working Hard" By Lindsey
When I feel like somethings hard,
I walk into me big backyard,
and think of that mighty quote "Never ever ever give up"
I think about it for a long, long time,
and decide to go to work again.
I work and work and achieve some more.
Finally my work is done.
I say to myself "Never ever ever give up".

"How ever far the stream flows it never forgets its source."
- Unknown
This quote is truly special,
Because it speaks and relates to me.
It relates to me like apples to a tree,
And im like a stream flowing towards the sea.
I am a stream because im flowing away from my source,
I move quickly like a main course.
I do miss my home,
Much like a gnome.
But however far I go,
I will never forget the source of my flow.

One day it me not be there
So life to the fullest
And don’t have regrets
When you look back smile because of the wonderful things
Don’t cry because of the bad
Because when it’s all said and done and you’re gone
Your life will be beautiful
And spectacular
So don’t miss a moment

The quote “Keep calm and carry on.” Used by the British government during the Blitz, speaks to me in the way that when something goes wrong in school or with friends, I repeat that quote in my head. Here is my poem that reflects my thoughts.
When things go sour,
Or the day drags by the hour,
I repeat to myself a simple quote.
A quote that means “don’t freak out,”
A phrase that makes me calm.
So when the bad things come,
And we lose our hope,
I repeat to myself the simple quote:
“Keep calm and carry on.”

Because no one has done only ONE thing.
To me it means that NO ONE is perfect
And THAT makes me want to sing.
Because if everyone was perfect,
I would feel all alone.
I know I'm not perfect,
Yeah right, perfect as a stone!!!

"Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will."
Jawaharal Nehru
I really like this quote because I live by this quote! This is really meaningful to me because it is something that will never lie to you. You can always trust that using this quote in every day life will not let you down.
Life
One hand is dealt to you
You have absolutely nothing, at first
Each day you chose a new card
You can pick one that will help your hand
You can pick one that will destroy your hand
I always pick the goods cards
This way at the end of the game
I will have a royal flush and win the prizes.

A book I have has a lot of quotes, my favorite one is “Real difficulties can be overcome; it is the imaginary ones that are unconquerable.” Theodore N. Vail said that.
When one was young, he had many irrational worries. Then comes a book. Has many stories. With every story, a quote or two. Reading one or another makes a difference. One quote really sticks out to this young man. Sheds some light this quote has done. Relax the worries this quote has done. A different person he has become.

"The more we sweat in peace, the less we bleed in war." By: Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit
If only we could all get along
Join together and sing a song
We all have something we share
So everyone should care
Work hard to love
Humans won’t have to shove
If only we weren’t so prideful and selfish
Maybe then I could have my wish
It’s not that tough
This isn’t advanced stuff.

I picked a quote about friendship. "Nothing changes your opinion of a friend so surely as success -yours or his."
Friends influence decisions
They help you if you're right or wrong
They stick with you from beginning to end
in good or bad
a true friend never lets you down
you can always count on them
and put your faith in them
friends are there to cry to
and they will forever be by your side.

The quote that I decided that was explaining me was "All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue it." Walt Disney. I think this because I have dreams and I have something I want to do when I get older, but I don't think I ever really tackle it. This is a poem that I made up to match this quote: Follow Your Dreams
Follow your dreams,
have courage,
try,
never stop believing,
you will always have a chance,
always believe and,
follow your dreams

The quote that I hear a lot and that I like a lot is "You can lead a horse to the water, but you can't make him drink it" by journalist Dorothy Parker.
I try my hardest to be friends
But you stay away
I feel that you will never forgive me
But that you will be stubborn everyday
I know that what I said was wrong
But I take it back
If you never forgive me
I will accept that for that

My favorite quote is “Never trust a skinny cook” by Iain Hewitson.
The Skinny Cook
Skinny mini really can’t cook
He doesn’t even follow the directions in the book
No fat on his bones
His cooking makes my stomach groan
He is thin and lean, and never tastes his food
Always cranky, never in a good mood
No thyme, pepper, paprika, or salt
It is the skinny cooks fault

“A humorist is a person who feels bad, but who feels good about it.”
by: Don Herold
Guilt
As I stand on stage,
I think of jokes.
Sick humor that people like.
It feels right to give the crowd what they want.
However,
These jokes seem cruel,
Also unreasonable,
Yet as I walk on stage,
Guilt crosses my mind.

I chose the quote "So long there are men, there will be wars." by Albert Einstein.
Since the beginning of humans,
they've fought.
They make peace that never lasts forever.
They always get into wars.
There is always some kind of trouble they cause,
which lead to wars some of the time.
The only obvious solution to keep away from wars forever,
to wipe them all out.
Which most don't prefer.

Im writing about Albert Einstein’s Quote which is “If you never made a mistake you never tried something new.”
This makes me feel:
Inspired like a student is inspired by a teacher
Happy like I can catch a mystical creature
Filled with hope
Like I cant say nope
Making mistakes isn’t a bad thing
Like I can fly by a swing
Trying new things is great Making mistakes is fate

Genuine forgiveness does not deny anger but faces it head-on.
- Alice Duer Miller
To give forgiveness,
You have to be strong.
Push away all the stiffness.
It may take long
To get over pain,
But don't forgive in vain.
The anger might controlling,
But not not where it can't be controlled.

Blood is thicker than water:unkown
The quote is saying
that no matter what
family will be there for you.
Although friends might not
be there for you
or they could betray you
when you last expect them to.

Thats why I chose the quote,'' And my fellow Americans: Do not ask what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.'' -John F. Kennedy.
