Whoo I love this question! Here are a few of mine...
1. "It's better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation"- Herman Melville
2. "Do something today which the world may talk of hereafter"- Admiral Collingwood
3. "Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achive greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them"- Shakespeare
4. The magic moment is that in which a 'yes' or 'no' may change the whole or our existence"- Paulo Coelho
5. "Be who you are and say what you feel. Those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter"- Dr. Seuss.

oooh I love quotes. Here are a few of my faves (some are lines from songs...does that count?!)
1. "Forget about trying to get through the storms, life is about learning to dance in the rain." - Tamia
2. "I'm not sorry, it's human nature." - Madonna
3. "Nothing happens until you decide." - Oprah
4. "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?......As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson (though often attributed to Nelson Mandela)
5. "I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined. I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned..." - Natasha Beddingfield
I could go on and on...

Oh, I love quotes! I have a whole notebook full, and I add more all the time. It's hard to choose, but these are some of my favorites:
"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on." -Robert Frost
"Whoso would be a man must be a non-conformist." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth." -Albert Einstein
"Irreverence is the champion of liberty and its only sure defense." -Mark Twain
"There are better things ahead than any we leave behind." -C.S. Lewis
"Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are--chaff and grain together--certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away." -George Eliot

Here's my all time favorite:
It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power
Alan Cohen
