Inspirational quotes

[blodthecat]

Has anyone got any ''famous quotes'' that they find very positive and inspirational?

A couple of my favorites:

1. In whatever situation you find yourself in, always do your best, and let your decisions
and path of action come from the heart.

3. Praise everyone. If you cannot praise someone, let them out of your life.

2. Seek the conciousness that ''we are all one''

I don''t know if all of these are exact quotes, or more like "concepts" ... but here are a few

"My life has been full of tragedies, some of which actually happened" (i.e. -- don''t worry so much)

"What you loathe about other people is really what you dislike about yourself"

"Believe what people tell you about themselves. If they say they''re a liar, a cheat, a flirt, a lazy slacker - THEY ARE."

"People aren''t mind readers. You have to ask for what you want."

"Pick your battles wisely."

[Richard Sherwood]

Winston Churchill's commencement address, given to a graduating class at Oxford:

"never give up." (after which there was a long pause while he studied the audience)

"Never give up!!!" (another long pause, while he intently surveyed the audience again)

"NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (shouted at the top of his voice)

After which he strode off the stage while the audience lept to their feet and gave him thunderous applause.

I have pages of inspirational quotes (and quite a few funny ones) that I keep on my computer and update them whenever I find a new one I like. Here are a few:

Dr Suess
Be who you are and say what you feel; because those who mind don’t matter and those that matter don’t mind.

Marcel Proust:
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.

Unknown:
"The grass may look greener on the other side of the fence, but you still have to mow it.”
Unknown:
“Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die.”

Nelson Mandela:
"It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

And a couple of funny ones:

Protons have mass!?? I didn’t even know they were Catholic…
