Some of my faves:

Alice Walker: No person is your friend who demands your silence.
Jerry Garcia: Someone's got to do something, it's incredibly pathetic it has to be us.
When you're going through hell, keep going. (Unknown?)
In life, you're either humbled or about to be. (The CO Rockies manager quoted this but not sure it's his originally)
Joan of Arc: I am not afraid, I was born for this.
"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." -- Lao Tzu

And a couple already mentioned:
Not all who wander are lost.

" ... One day, someone showed me a glass of water
that was half full. And he said, "Is it half full or half
empty?" So I drank the water. No more problem..."

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose."
-Steve Jobs

'An áit a bhuil do chroi is ann a thabharfas do chosa thú' (Your feet will bring you to where your heart is) - Gaelic proverb

"The rest of your life starts today" - Me as far as I know, but I could be wrong, which brings me to my second quote:

"Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear, but forgetting where you heard it" - I don't know who said it, but it definitely wasn't me this time. Reply to this
