<p>hey, there's one question on the supplement that asks what your fav. quote and why?<br>
Anyways, I'm just wondering what everyone's favorite quotes are...so if you don't mind, can each of you post yours?
Mine is "Personally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught." - Winston Churchill</p>
<p>"To quote is an inadaquet substitute for wit" - not sure who</p>
<p>It actually goes, "She had a pretty gift for quotation, which is a serviceable substitute for wit." (W. Somerset Maugham, attributed)</p>
<p>haha, I hope ya'll aren't using the same quote for the essay! I'll tell mine after I submit</p>
<p>I think I'm doing a quote by Henry David Thoreau.</p>
<p>are u relating why it's ur favorite quote to ur own life or what</p>
<p>Better safe than sorry ... after all it is CC and you never know what sort of dodgy person is lurking.</p>
<p>i guess..or my personality and stuff..</p>
<p>Here's one...</p>
<p>"Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what's right."-Asimov</p>
<p>BTW, I'm not applying to Princeton, so feel free to use it.</p>
<p>Kingsfan, the prompt is, "What is your favorite quote and why?"</p>
<p>hmmm...: )</p>
<p>mine was about laughter : D...</p>
<p>life : )</p>
<p>I hate Thoreau.</p>
<p>I used one by Leonardo da Vinci: "For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return." Then again I want to become a test pilot for learjet or boeing or something. seemed appropriate</p>
<p>My quotation... "Always read something that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it." by P.J. O'Rourke...</p>
<p>No, seriously it was something else. "To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world." I wrote my essay on it. There was a story.</p>
<p>Hmm.. I've heard of that quote before (jacquesier). One of my friends wrote about it for a Latin assignment (a similar quote, only in Latin). Just thought that was interesting.
I'm quoting St. Augustine. I'll probably post after I submit my application. Good luck to everyone!! :)</p>
<p>Yeh, it's a good quote too. But, it may raise a few eyebrows. Then again you want to stand out, don't you?</p>
<p>i'm not doing the quote essay...im doing the person who has influenced u supple. essay!</p>
<p>Hey, that da Vinci one's in Civ4!</p>
<p>I used, "Silence is an attribute of the dead; he who is alive speaks."</p>
<p>Alex and armavirumque, I love the quote! :)</p>
