    Favorite inspirational quotes?

    Just for fun, and to make yourself feel good.
    I'll start with a few...

    "Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit..." -Rocky Balboa

    "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

    "Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right." -Henry Ford


    And as we wind on down the road
    Our shadows taller than our soul.
    There walks a lady we all know
    Who shines white light and wants to show
    How everything still turns to gold.
    And if you listen very hard
    The tune will come to you at last.
    When all are one and one is all
    To be a rock and not to roll.
    -Led Zeppelin

    I suppose this is not a real inspirational quote but it works for me everytime I need it: Just Stand. I like that quote by Henry Ford.

    People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
    Forgive them anyway.
    If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
    Be kind anyway.
    If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
    Succeed anyway.
    If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
    Be honest and frank anyway.
    What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
    Build anyway.
    If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
    Be happy anyway.
    The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
    Do good anyway.
    Give the world the best you have and it may just never be enough;
    Give the world the best you have anyway.
    In the end you see, it's between you and God / Fate
    It was never between you and them anyway
    Kent Keith

    You say that time's been passing by feeling there is nothing concrete
    Living for the moment blinded by your dreams
    All you're saying you can't hold on it's getting harder every day
    You can't change who you are something you gotta face

    You fell for promises No one really ever made Invisible pictures come true
    Going through changes Hoping that they never fade Hold on don't reach for the stars

    Stand for what you are
    Trust in what you're fighting for
    No time for looking back
    You're on your own

    Stand for what you are
    Trust in what you're living for
    Open up the door no time for looking back
    You're on your own
    Accept - Stand for what you are
    Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
    Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
    Towards the sun, carry your name
    In warm hands you are given
    Ask the wind for the way
    Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
    Accept all as it is and do not blame
    God or the Devil

    "You try to plant somethin in the concrete, you know what I mean?

    If it GROW, and the rose petal got all kind of scratches and marks, you not gon' say, 'Damn, look at all the scratches and marks on the rose that grew from concrete' ...
    You gon' be like, 'DAMN! A rose grew from the concrete?!'

    Same thing with me, you know what I mean? I grew out of all of this ...

    Instead of sayin, 'Damn, he did this, he did this,' just be like, 'DAMN! He grew out of that? He came out of that?'

    That's what they should say, you know what I mean? All the trouble to survive and make good out of the dirty, nasty unbelievable lifestyle they gave me ...

    I'm just tryin to make somethin.."

    - Tupac Shakur

    Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?

    A few ones:

    "Wait a moment"
    "Who loves gets exposed, but love makes everything better", a priest.
    "I come not to bring peace, but to bring a sword", Jesus Christ (hey, this doesn't make me a terrorist)
    "A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.", Oscar Wilde.
    "It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious."
