Question:Okay,I want to put some new quotes on my bebo page but any that I've found so far are either way overused or are too contrived and boring. So,I thought I'd ask for help! I'd really like quotes that make you think and aren't just the usual crap like -"Friends are like angels...blah blah blah..love..blah blah blah" I don't want that to sound too harsh but.
Help would be much appreciated ;-)

Life never gets tough if you
can handle it better.

Cries wont be tears if
you’re not hurt.

Sadness wont mean
anything unless you’re down.

apology comes in,
so if you feel like having a
duel with life,

fight not because you’re
brave,

but because you’re a
coward who wanted to
prove something!
