Experience is not what happens to you; its what you do with what happens to you.
An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.
All men who achieved great things have been great dreamers.
If yoou can imagine, you cab achieve.
If you can dream, you can become.
Ability hits the mark where presumption overshoots and diffidence falls short.
Few people travel the road to success without a puncture or two.
When you have done your best and yet not achieved results, then the best you can do is NEVER MIND!
Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance.

"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.)

his own expectations."

It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. (Personally I don't think I agree with this but it was the first thing that came to mind).

"Never give up. Never give up. Never give up." - Churchill
And if you're the churchgoing type:
"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power." Can't remember the verse.
