Best quote of all time

What’s your favourite quote of all time and why?

Mine is:

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

  • Maya Angelou

I like it because it reminds me that I am responsible for my actions. I’ve hurt quite a lot of people and I lost friends with my stupidity and I’ve learned from that.

What’s yours?

Once upon a time, I, Chuang Chou, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Chou.
Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again.
Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.

Thank you @anon57786250, I did mistake in my life. Now what I do. I thought that as I love or manner they also do it for me. I hurt a lot of people by my actions and words. Why I became proud of my mind and that mind which has schizophrenia.
