LIST OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES

We all have a list of "Favorite Quotes" one-liners, sayings, or phrases that we always read from time to time whenever we feel down, or in need of some moral boost. For me, quotes represent the famous [iconic] people who had coined them. Even though these are just only a group of words, they possess the EXPERIENCE and HISTORY of the person who had thought of them! That's how these quotes get their strength! The Bible says, “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit” - Proverbs 18:21.

Yes, Our words have the power to destroy and the power to build up.

Today, I want to share some of my favorite quotes that I collected. These quotes were grabbed from blog posts, articles, movies, tv series and novels that I've watched and read. The ones that are in BOLD are my favorites or had given serious impact in my life! I will update this particular post for the latest ones that I'll come across with.
