Question

it can be inspirational, motivational, happy, anything thats deep.

Answer 1

"We have nothing to fear, but fear itself"

"Aim at Heaven, and you get the earth thrown in. Aim at the earth, and you get neither." - C. S. Lewis

My favorite:
"We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender." - Winston Churchill
(I love it, because when you think of yourself as an island, [although no man is an island unto himself] and all the things in life trying to pull you down, crush you, defeat you, or try to change who you are because you're different, you can remember you can do it, because others have, even on the grand scale/real life.)

Answer 2

a few " Be the change you wish to be in the world " because it means stop complaining about what should happen and do it yourself. " Do your best and forget the rest " because when we did track and field i wasnt the best at it and one the the teachers told me this which really inspired me to stop thinking about winning and just do my best and have fun. " Live as youll die today, dream as youll live forever " because it is true, you never know when your life will come to an end so live out everyday, every 60 seconds of sadness you have is another minute of happiness wasted, and dream as you CAN do it, and have fun in succeeding. sorry there was so much to read, but i love inspirational quotes, there are lots more where that i have, but i didnt want to take up more time then this, so thanks for posting this :)

Answer 3

Teddy Roosevelt:

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."


"Citizenship in a Republic,"
Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910

this is good to:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

by Marianne Williamson
