    I have a few. "you gotta be alive to complain". "unhappy with something in your life?, change it. if something doesn't change, nothing will change". "i'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it". last but not least because it's the one I use most "SONOFA*****".

    From Ralph Waldo Emerson ~ Finish each day and be done with it... You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it well and serenely.

    "Wherever you may be, let your farts flow free."

    In an Aussie cemetery where my grandmum is buried, there is a tombstone nearby with the inscription:

    "Wherever you may be, let your farts flow free. Holding back a fart was the death of me."


    Ha! I wish I'd known that person! What a hoot!

    “Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
    Life is beauty, admire it.
    Life is a dream, realize it.
    Life is a challenge, meet it.
    Life is a duty, complete it.
    Life is a game, play it.
    Life is a promise, fulfill it.
    Life is sorrow, overcome it.
    Life is a song, sing it.
    Life is a struggle, accept it.
    Life is a tragedy, confront it.
    Life is an adventure, dare it.
    Life is luck, make it.
    Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
    Life is life, fight for it.”
    ― Mother Teresa

    "Dreams are merely reality in waiting" -- Me

    and for my not so optimistic days:

    "Reality is just a State of Mind where all roads lead to a dead end." -- also Me.

    and for life in general:

    "I will not die and unlived life." -- Dawna Markova (she spells her name like me, too)

    Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose. - Coach Eric Taylor, Friday Night Lights

    Game of Thrones has some great quotes, too, like "Winter is coming" and "What is dead may never die." Also, there's this: “Never forget who you are, for surely the world won’t. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.”

    "Be brave enough to live creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You cannot get there by bus, only by hard work, risking and by not quite knowing what you are doing. What you will discover will be wonderful; yourself."
    ~Alan Alda (1936 - )

    WESTMORELAND:
    O that we now had here
    But one ten thousand of those men in England
    That do no work to-day!

    KING HENRY V:
    What's he that wishes so?
    My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin:
    If we are mark'd to die, we are enow
    To do our country loss; and if to live,
    The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
    God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
    By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
    Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
    It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
    Such outward things dwell not in my desires:
    But if it be a sin to covet honour,
    I am the most offending soul alive.
    No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England:
    God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
    As one man more, methinks, would share from me
    For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
    Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
    That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
    Let him depart; his passport shall be made
    And crowns for convoy put into his purse:
    We would not die in that man's company
    That fears his fellowship to die with us.
    This day is called the feast of Crispian:
    He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
    Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
    And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
    He that shall live this day, and see old age,
    Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
    And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian:'
    Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
    And say 'These wounds I had on Crispin's day.'
    Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
    But he'll remember with advantages
    What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
    Familiar in his mouth as household words
    Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
    Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
    Be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd.
    This story shall the good man teach his son;
    And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
    From this day to the ending of the world,
    But we in it shall be remember'd;
    We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
    For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
    Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
    This day shall gentle his condition:
    And gentlemen in England now a-bed
    Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
    And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
    That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

    (the slightly-abbreviated version from Branagh's Henry V: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-yZNMWFqvM)

    "How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives."

    "Change your thoughts, change your life. "

    "I just woke up one day and decided I didn't want to feel this way anymore or ever again, so I changed. Just like that. "

    "Success only comes before work in the dictionary."

    "A lot of people want to be transformed but not many want to change."

    "When a sleeping woman wakes, mountains will move."

    "To remember who you are you need to forget who they told you to be."

    "Overcome the notion that you must be regular. It robs you of the chance of being extraordinary."

    "A river cuts through a rock not because of its power, but its persistence."
