"Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind." - Bertrand Russell
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." - Martin Luther King, Jr.
"There is a strange fact about the human mind, a fact that differentiates the mind sharply from the body. The body is limited in ways that the mind is not. One sign of this is that the body does not continue indefinitely to grow in strength and develop in skill and grace. By the time most people are thirty years old, their bodies are as good as they will ever be; in fact, many persons’ bodies have begun to deteriorate by that time. But there is no limit to the amount of growth and development that the mind can sustain. The mind does not stop growing at any particular age." - Mortimer J. Adler

I'll give it a go....
Life is mostly froth and bubble; Two things stand like stone: - Kindness in another's trouble, Courage in your own.
'Adam Lindsay Gordon'
When you change the way you look at things,
the things you look at change.
'Dr Wayne W Dyer'
People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
'Elisabeth Kubler-Ross '
If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.
'George Bernard Shaw'
I hope you talk goes really well!

GROWTH
We cannot tell what may happen to us in the strange
medley of life. But we can decide what happens in
us--how we can take it, what we do with it--and that is
what really counts in the end. How to take the raw stuff of
life and make it a thing of worth and beauty--that is the
test of living.
(Joseph Fort Newton)

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of
truth and love has always won.
There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they
always fall - think of it,
ALWAYS.
--Mahatma Gandhi

OK, this probably won't be of any use for your speach, but I hope you like it 'cause it's one of my favourites:
"If you smile at me, I will understand, 'cause that is something everbody everywhere does in the same language".
Good luck for your big day!

Good things come to those who wait... But those are only the leftovers of those who hustled. (Not my quote, but a great one to start with)

Nope............Stop asking other people to do your homework. Search for it yourself and stop being lazy!
