My favorite quote is from Eleanor Roosevelt:
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
It reminds us that our emotions and feelings are our own. That only we have control over how we feel. If we LET others make us feel inferior, it's because we've let them.
Another favorite, as corny as it sounds:
"You've got to live, Live, LIVE!!! Ms. Gouch, life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!!"
(Rosalynd Russell in "Auntie Mame")
