Hello, everyone.
I'd like to ask you about "English phases or sentences".
Do you have any impressive English phrases or sentences?
In my case, my favorite phrase is “Climb every mountain,” the words from musical number in The Sound of Music. I usually write this phrase on students' albums on their graduation ceremony day. This phrase is sung by a nun to encourage the heroin Maria when she is wondering which way of life to choose.
If you have some wonderful phrases or sentences, please let share them. And, will you tell us about their source and your story about them?
I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

"If war is the answer, then it's a bloody
stupid question"
"'Smile' they said, 'life could be worse'
...so I did, and it was"
(grafitti I saw on a toilet door at University)
"Finding enlightenment, one punch at a time"

Buddha)

low signal to noise ratio"

"Tolerance is something we preach in this
country. It is enough to agree to put up
with those who are different. Tolerance is
a crime! When you appreciate, recognise and
accept people, you do not tolerate them."
(Jane Elliot)
"This is our cry, this is our prayer, peace
in the world"

I like many phrases from the movie "a cinderella story".
"Never let the fear of striking out, keep you from playing the game."
"I never pretend to be someone else,it's been me all along."
"I know that guy that send e-mails is somewhere down inside of you.But I can't wait for him,because waiting for you is like waiting for rain in this drought.Useless and disapointing."
"I don't care what people think about me,because I believe in myself.And I know that things are ganna be okey."
"I came to tell you I know what it feels like to be afraid to show who you are.I was,but I'm not anymore."
"I live in a world full of people pretending to ae something they're not.But when I talk to you,I'm the guy I wanna be."
"Sometimes fantasy is better than reality."

"How much easier it is to be critical than to be correct."
−Benjamin Disraeli
"Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain ― and most fools do."
−Dale Carnegie
"The fool persuades me with his reason; the wise man persuades me with my own."
−Aristotle

"If you can't talk about it, point to it."
-- William S. Burroughs
"I don't want the world, I only want your half."
-- They Might Be Giants, "Anna Ng"
"This rage to understand, to fill in the blanks, only makes life more banal."
-- Luis Bunuel
"Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Only assholes feel sorry for themselves."
-- Haruki Murakami
And my favorite quote, again by Mr. Bunuel:
"You have to begin to lose your memory, if only in bits and pieces, to realize that memory is what makes our lives. Life without memory is no life at all, just as an intelligence without the possibility of expression is not really an intelligence. Our memory is our coherence, our reason, our feeling, even our action. Without it, we are nothing."

"It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish." -Mother Theresa
"Meeting is the start of saying goodbye." -Jung Freud
