Become the change you want to see - those are words I live by.
You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.
Everyone wants to ride with you in the limo, but what you need is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.
You can have it all. You just can't have it all at one time.
These are some of my favourites and they are all by Oprah Winfrey.
I find her very inspiring.

The quote I'm living on right now is:
"First an idea is ridiculed. Then it is violently opposed. Then it is accepted as self-evident fact."
-Napoleon Hill, "Think and Grow Rich"
Right now I'm climbing the steep slope of violent opposition, and though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I WILL LET EVIL FEAR ME ! ! !
-I just made that up

My two favorite quotes:
"Enthusiasm is contagious. It's difficult to remain neutral or indifferent in the presence of a positive thinker."

>Wow there are so many.. i can't say which is the Best... but I'll give you some of my faveorites:
"Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not."
"A man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth."
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek; and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
"And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same."
"Blessed are the pure in heart: For they shall see God."
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son to into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me."
"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live."
"He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."
"As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue in my love."
"Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible."
