Quotations

I have a book of quotations, 8,789 Words of Wisdom by Barbara Ann Kipfer, that I look at occasionally. There a few things I don't like about the book, so I end up putting it down after a few pages. (But then I pick it up a few days later). For example, many quotes in the book contradict previous listed quotes. What is up with that, it is just confusing.

On page 234, 'Truth is the truth no matter what others may think'.

On page 236, 'The truth is relative'.

I find it difficult to reconcile these two statements. I think they are mutually exclusive statements. Can they both be correct?

Another thing I dislike about the book is the lack of identification of who is being quoted.

Who said the truth is relative? Did the author make it up just to be contentious?

Some of the quotes I like:

'Have passion for what you are doing.'
'Nothing is permanent except change.'
'Celebrate being alive.'
'Let your character speak for you.'
'Act like the person you want to be.'
'Dreams can become real.'
'Be led by reason.'
'A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures.'

What are some of your favorite quotes?

Is there any quote you use to guide your life?
