Most Famous English Quotes Must Know Advanced English Phrases

all right let’s begin then so first

quote for today comes from Gandhi this

is a really famous quote I tried to

choose quotes that I thought would be

good for like motivational purposes

because everybody is studying English I

assume so

this one is one that’s a pretty good one

just for like life advice in general the

quote is you must be the change you want

to see in the world you must be the

change you want to see in the world

everyone says sound is good now nice

school thank you guys we appreciate it

okay so I want to focus on maybe the

part of this quote that’s a little bit

difficult to understand is this part

right here this be the change so we see

like B before like a job title a lot

like I want to be a doctor I want to be

a teacher I want to be a musician for

example but here we see be the change so

change is not like a position change is

not a job

this actually introduces to us this idea

of using B before a way of thinking or

before a way of living so change is

actually a concept here in this case

Gandhi specifically saying the change

you want to see in the world so this is

the specific change he’s talking about

so in other words he’s saying you must

so this must if you remember your

grammar must is used to express strong

opinions so must another way to see to

say that could be like you should but

must is like a stronger version of that

so in other words another way to say

this could be you should change yourself

in the same way you want to change the

world so this you must be is kind of

like saying you should change yourself

you should be the change you want to see

in the world so that means you should

live your life in the way you want the

world to look like so that’s kind of an

interesting quote I thought to begin

today’s lesson so we’ll see this be

used for more conceptual ideas in the

second quote for today dude so that’s

just a quick introductory one uh okay

let’s go I if you have questions send

them in the chat I will check

I will check Oh someone says no sound

sounds strange

I hope the sound is fixed if there’s a

problem let us know in the chat please

we’ll work on it right away

for now though I want to go to the

second the second one here

I prepared a quote maybe I think a lot

of you probably know Coco Chanel the

fashion designer Coco Chanel so I wanted

to choose some famous men and women to

discuss today so this quote from Chanel

is in order to be irreplaceable I’ll

talk about this word in just a minute in

order to be irreplaceable one must

always be different okay so I want to

start with this word right here

irreplaceable this is a great example of

a word that you can break down so if you

don’t know this word but if you know

some roots of English you can guess the

meaning so I’ll show you how to do this

some of you have asked like how to

identify new words when you’re reading

text I’ll show you how to do this with

this word this is a great example so I

want to show three parts to this word

actually so here we have a prefix so

there’s a video I made a video for the

channel called like prefixes a prefix is

like a couple of letters like two maybe

three letters at the beginning of a word

and that changes the word this is one

example of a prefix IR IR ear this is a

prefix which means not no it means not

so that’s part one I want to point out

about this word then we have here

replace this is like the kind of the

root that we see for this word the word

replace it’s like if something breaks

you need to get a new one you need to

find a new version of something you need

to replace some

then here we see a suffix a suffix then

I’ve also made a video about suffixes on

the YouTube channel a suffix is

something that comes at the end of a

word so that also changes the meaning or

adds to the meaning of the word in this

case the suffix is Abel Abel means like

an ability to do something so the word

irreplaceable if we break it into these

three parts it means something so here

we have able to do something not and

replace so something that we cannot

replace in order to be irreplaceable so

another way to say this would be to

become irreplaceable to become something

that cannot be replaced that’s how we

can understand this this beginning

phrase so I wanted to introduce this as

a way that you can use like to identify

parts of words to try to guess the

meaning based on your grammar knowledge

Ernesto

yeah I wish I could give another example

about this if you want to see some more

examples of using prefixes and suffixes

I recommend checking the YouTube channel

there’s a prefix video and a Suffolk a

suffix video I talked about these two

points in those two videos and there are

quite a few examples there so I

recommend checking that that can help

you as you as you read and you find new

words and you need to guess the meaning

so I recommend this

so someone sharif says what’s the

YouTube channel the YouTube channel is

English class 1:01

English class 1:01 okay good so that’s

the first part of this quote from Chanel

so she’s saying in order to be

irreplaceable so we see also as we saw

with this quote from Ghandi this be so

that means your way of living so to be

an irreplaceable person a person who

cannot be replaced by someone else so

she follows this with this expression

one must always be

different one must always be different

this is maybe a question for some of you

one what does one mean one is used like

formal you this one does not mean a

number maybe you know the word oneself

this one means like you it sounds a bit

more formal though so we’re talking

about just people in general individual

people in general so we use one to talk

about that and it sounds more formal

than using you so like Gandhi’s quote to

Chanelle saying one must always be

different so again must shows a strong

opinion so we can understand she feels

strongly that we always should try to be

different so we need to be different

from other people in other words so to

read this again in order to be

irreplaceable one must always be

different a different way to say this

expression could be to become an

irreplaceable person you need to be

different from other people so this is a

simplified way of saying that but this

is I think kind of a key point for this

quote and also kind of a good way to

study new words juicy ah you can’t see

the last explanation you are right I’m

sorry that’s my fault that’s my phone

what could we probably can’t change that

I don’t want to oh can you adjust the

camera it’s my fault it’s my fault I’ll

write I can write it again here that

better for you oh you’re moving it yeah

thank you thank you thank you that’s

awesome

perfect perfect so again to become

irreplaceable you need to be different

from other people this is a simpler way

to understand this quote okay good thank

anyway as I said yeah today we’re

talking about famous English quotes so

if you’ve just joined welcome we’ve

talked about a couple of quotes here oh

you’re gonna change camera again

wow thanks we have like midstream

adjustments anyway today we’re talking

about famous English quotes and I’m

going to go on to the second part I hope

I have time to talk about this this is

quite a long lesson

today I cannot move the camera closer we

can zoom it in and zoom it out a little

bit but we can’t really move the camera

very much right now let’s get moving if

you just joined to please don’t forget

to like the video so other people can

find it much appreciated

okay let’s move on then to the next two

quotes I prepared I like these two a lot

I want to start with this one at the top

this quote comes from a woman called

Lucille Ball maybe some of you know her

she was a very famous American comedian

and actress she said this quote I

thought was perfect for today’s lesson

first I’ll read the quote it is I’d

rather regret the things I’ve done then

the things I haven’t done so first I

want to start with this I’d rather so

let’s remind ourselves here many of you

asked about this I’d I’d like how to

hear this pronunciation this is a great

reminder that I need means I would I

would so she’s saying I’d rather regret

the things I’ve done then the things I

haven’t done so maybe some of you are

familiar with this I’d rather a than be

pattern so this quote follows the same

thing it’s exactly the same pattern I’d

rather a than B but what does this mean

a key word here is regret

so to regret - regret means to feel bad

about something to feel bad about her to

feel sorry about something can you see

that it’s a bit small sorry it says to

feel bad about to feel bad about

so to regret something needs to feel bad

about something so she’s saying in this

part this is the a part the things I’ve

done so here she’s using I have done so

the things she has experienced she would

rather feel bad about the things she has

experienced

then the things she hasn’t experienced

so she’s using the opposite in the

second part of this quote she uses the

positive I’ve done and the negative I

haven’t done so a different way to

understand this quote is I would rather

feel bad about something I did then

something I did not do so this is an

expression about like taking chances so

it’s like something maybe you have an

opportunity you don’t take the

opportunity and if that opportunity is

successful you feel bad about it so

she’s saying she wants to take

opportunities and try things and if it

fails okay but she wants to at least try

she doesn’t want to regret she doesn’t

want to feel bad about missing an

opportunity that’s what this quote means

okay good

if you have any questions please send

them along drooping sorry Instagram okay

let’s continue on to the next one

because these are long you do it longer

than I thought let’s continue to the

next one this is actually a sports quote

so I tried to I did some research to

find the person who said this quote many

people said that Wayne Gretzky Wayne

Gretzky is a very famous hockey player

many people claim that Wayne Gretzky

said this quote but I could not confirm

it so for now it’s like a sports quote

let’s read it it is you miss 100% of the

shots you don’t take

you miss 100% of this of the shots you

don’t take

okay so there are a couple of key

vocabulary words I want to talk about

here they are actually very similar

first is this one miss and take so two

miss

a shot can you see that yes okay

barely so this says to miss a shot mi SS

to miss a shot to miss a shot and to

take a shot these two are different

expressions to miss a shot means you try

to achieve something you try to score a

goal for example but you fail so when

you miss there’s an attempt you try to

do something but it doesn’t work so

there are two stages to miss a shot then

to take a shot means just to try so

there’s no failure or success it means

to try we tend to use these expressions

in sports

so like soccer for example or hockey so

to miss a shot is to take the shot to

try and to fail to take a shot is just

to try and score points or try to

achieve something

Marcelle man 30 who said this yeah I

tried to find the original source of

this quote I could not confirm many

people say this comes from hockey player

Wayne Gretzky could be could be I can’t

confirm 100% so what does this quote

mean this means you lose 100% of the

chances you do not take so this quote is

saying the shots that you don’t take

this part the shots you don’t take

means chances you don’t take so here

this is like a sports quote so a shot

equals a chance so it means if you don’t

take the chance you automatically lose

like the opportunity the opportunity is

gone so that’s what this expression

means if you don’t take any chances you

don’t win anything so you automatically

lose or you miss a shot it’s automatic

failure Crysta says who is Lucille Ball

a Lucille Ball she was a very famous

American comedian she was on a TV show

called I Love Lucy a black-and-white

comb

TV show very famous very important

figure in American pop culture yeah

great thank you for your questions guys

okay um

any other questions I don’t see anything

there okay um what time is it

11:25 oh my goodness okay I will try to

I will go to maybe our last quote for

today

now because it was on the thumbnail and

then maybe if there’s time I’ll go back

to another one let’s skip ahead for now

to this next quote you might have seen

this on the thumbnail on the picture for

today’s lesson this quote if there’s

time I’ll talk about this one but first

this quote this quote comes from author

Oscar Wilde he was a poet he wrote

poetry plays also so Oscar Wilde has

this very famous quote like people like

to rank this quote unlike pillows and

things like that or like notebook covers

it’s a very famous quote the quote is

being yourself everyone else is already

taken so if you were watching at the

beginning of this lesson you see this

beef be yourself like what does that

mean so be yourself means act in a way

that is natural for you so behave in a

manner that’s like natural for your

personality so he finishes this quote

with everyone else is already taken so

taken here this is a word actually we

use this word in like relationships a

lot for people who are like dating or

married this word means claimed taken

means claimed like it’s already been

decided someone has already claimed that

person in this case that personality so

this expression a different way to say

this expression is act in a way can you

guys see it act in a way sorry it’s hard

to see act in a way that is natural for

you don’t try to act like another person

thank you

don’t try to act like another person so

this everyone else is already taken this

everyone else refers to everyone else’s

personality so that means like the

people around you their personalities

belong to them so you should have your

personality you should behave the way

that it’s natural for you to behave

that’s what this quote is trying to

express so we should all behave in a way

that is natural for ourselves mmm okay

good

do we have time we have three minutes

left woof woof I don’t know I could try

and squeeze in the last one there I

wanted to make sure to talk about that

um any questions we are adjusting the

camera amazingly today many people are

commenting on your camera skills good

yeah thank you for your feedback guys we

really appreciate it I think there’s a

little time so I will try to explain the

last quote that I prepared for today

okay cool so the last quote for today

comes from Amelia Earhart maybe you know

her she was a very famous woman she was

the first ever woman the first ever

female pilot to cross the Atlantic Ocean

she was huge

so she said this expression actually I

chose this quote because I think this is

great for studies for working towards

goals for like motivation in general so

let’s read the quote it is the most

difficult thing is the decision to act

the rest is merely tenacity this is a

nice quote okay so what does this mean

first let’s look at this verb to act so

to act means to move like to start

something so she’s saying the most

difficult thing she’s not saying it

explicitly here the most difficult thing

in life the most difficult thing in

working towards your goal is the

decision to act so choosing to start

like making the decision to begin is the

most difficult thing in life or in

working toward a goal then she says the

rest is merely tenacity this has some

challenging vocabulary so let’s look at

it first the rest the rest means the

remainder the remainder or the things

that remain the stuff that’s left after

so something that comes after that I’ll

explain more in a moment then we see

this word merely merely is a formal word

for only or just only just so the last

word here is a kind of higher level of a

cab you Larry word it is tenacity the

pronunciation is tenacity tenacity means

an ability to continue like an ability

to continue working towards your goal so

this is a personal quality we use the

word tenacity to refer to a quality and

a person so like in this expression the

meaning of this part then the rest is

merely tenacity means after you make

your decision to start something you

just have to continue this is a simpler

way to explain this expression so a

simpler way to say the entire quote here

the most difficult thing about working

toward a goal is deciding to start after

that you just have to continue so I

think this is a really really important

one for studying as well it’s a good one

my personal favorite quote though I

don’t know do you have fun no my

personal favorite quote is very similar

to this it actually comes from a

football guy called Don Shula

he says the start is what stops most

people I like that one a lot it’s

similar to this you know the start is

the hardest thing but so he says the

start is what stops most people so most

people don’t choose to start that’s my

favorite quote

please give some examples of tenacity an

example of tenacity is Amelia Earhart

she was the first ever woman to cross

the Atlantic Ocean and like the first

ever female pilot she had to work and

work and work toward that goal like you

have to continue moving you have to keep

moving in that direction that you want

to go in and you don’t like change your

path you don’t change your course so

she’s a great example of the work it

took to do that mmm good
