A few of my favorite quotes

Trust no future, however pleasant. Let the dead past bury the dead. Act now in the living present, heart within, God overhead.
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.
-Goethe

Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment.
-Kleiser

A lazy boy and a warm bed are a difficult thing to part.
-Danish proverb

Vows made in storms are often forgotten in calms.
-Latin Proverb

Keep you fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.
-Robert Louis Stevenson

From listening comes wisdom, and from speaking comes repentance.
-Italian proverb

He who takes the child by the hand takes the mother by the heart.
- German proverb

Our greatest glory lies not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.
-Thomas Edison

Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of truth and knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the Gods.
-Albert Einstein

When a proud man hears another praised, he feels himself injured
-English proverb

He who falls in love with himself has no rivals
-Benjamin Disraeli

Its easy enough to be pleasant
When everything goes like a song
But the man worthwhile
Is the man who can smile
When everything goes dead wrong

Courage is fear that has said its prayers.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
-2 Tim 4:7
