I can't think any uplifting quotes for people. I'm trying to write something uplifting and I've come across to a writer's block. So, what quotes have you heard or thought up of that help you through some terrible times. Write the quote and who made it. You'd be a big help towards me.

And although I did not read this in a quote, it is an interesting fact that I have reminded myself of many, many times. Everyone remembers Babe Ruth hit 714 home runs. What we tend to forget is that he struck out 1,330 times.

People who judge don't matter; and people who matter don't judge
The grass isn't always greener on the other side; it could be artifical turf(fake grass)
Your EGO stands for Edging God Out
Learn from yesterday, hope for tomorrow and Live for TODAY

Never say never
Don't say Forever ~ just say You'll try
Ex-es are ex-es for a reason ~ it didn't work out
God works in His time ~ not ours
Every morning you wake-up is a blessing
When one door closes, another one opens...if that one is closed, TRY THE WINDOW
There are many paths to achieve one's dreams
If you say you never lie ~ there's a lie right there
It doesn't matter if you don't win the battles; it's who wins the WAR
There are no problems in life; only situations yet to be resolved
When all else fails, PRAY

4 of my favorite quotes
"Life isnt about keeping score. Its not about how many people call you and it's not about who you dated, are dating or havent dated at all. It isnt about who you kissed, what sport you play, or which guy/girl likes you. Life isnt about if you have a lot of friends, or if you are alone, and it's not about how accepted/unaccepted you are. Life just isn't about that. But life is about who you love and who you hurt. It's about how you feel about yourself. Its about trust, happiness, compassion, and faith. It's about replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance, and building confidence in yourself and God. Its about what you say, and what you mean. Its about seeing people for who they are, and not what they have. Most of all, its about choosing to use your life to touch someone elses in a way that could never been achieved otherwise. That is what Life is about."~Gunslinger
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did so. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."~Mark Twain
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." ~Henry David Thoreau
"Carpe Diem-seize the day!" ~Henry David Thoreau

Humorous quotes work for me when i'm in that situation here.
"Women with forked tongue should not kiss balloon... Man with forked tongue have no front teeth!"..
When you want to lift someone's spirits, one of my favorite quotes is this:
" I've always valued your sense of Trust and your sense of People and respect that about you very much".
