My favorite quote of all is Joseph Stalin's "Death solves all problems: no man, no problem." This is because it is probably the only quote ever said in history that is 100% true.

There's a few by Wayne Dyer:
"If you advance confidently in the direction of your dreams and endeavor to live the life which you have imagined you will meet with a success unexpected in common hours" - I've found this to be nothing less than 100% true in my own life experience.
"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change" - Apparently Proven scientifically through Quantum Physics, also found true by my own belief in the fact that "all things are a result of what we have thought" (a quote by the buddha). Our perspectives being our only window to reality.
"Follow your Bliss" - Abraham-Hicks Feels about right, what other purpose could there be to life other than happiness in one's own creating
"Life is meant to be Abundant" - James Arthur Ray - A good perspective to hold in life if the law of attraction is true, Which I find it to be absolute.
"Let go" - Multiple People have said this quote - A good idea since all things are temporary, including ourselves, and it allows things to flow naturally, from relationships to perceived stress itself.

My favorite quote is "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow". I like it because I think its a really good way to look at how you should live life. I try to learn from my mistakes, live for the moment, and hope to god I'll wake up tomorrow to do it all over again, because life is short, and I learned this when my good friend died not to long ago. Someone told me this quote. It just makes sense to me.

Can't remember who said it but I used this as my quote waaaaaaay back when I graduated high school:
"We crucify ourselves between two theives, regret for yesterday and fear of tomorrow."
If you dwell on the past or worry about tomorrow how in the heck can you get through today? This quote means so much to me especially since I accepted Christ and salvation. Everything past and everything future is completely out of my hands, so live only for today.
God Bless and I love this question!

From a song written in 1863:
The pure, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth;
The impulse to a worldless pray’r,
The dreams of love and truth;
The longings after something lost;
The spirits yearning cry;
Revivings of our better hopes;
These things can never die.
I've loved this since I was a child. It's so timeless and sums up the things that are worth living for, hoping for.

I do not know who said this, but they should be words to live by:
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!"
This is how I try and live life...

"Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect-- I don't live to be. But before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean."
It is supposed to have been said by Bob Marley and I like it because there are too many people around that are quick to judge others' faults but don't take the time to realize that they aren't perfect either.

"Quotes are for small minded people."
I don't know who said this, but it was the first quote in a book of quotes.
I liked the editors use of this quote, because he was poking fun at himself.
By the way I love quotes...and poking fun at myself.

My favorite quote of all is mine---Kenneth Wayne Howie. "No one is better than any one else, some people are just better off." No matter how you chalk it up, whether it be physically, mentally, intellectually, financially,etc.,you can not contest it.
