It is a far, far better thing that I do now than I've ever done before.
I like the self sacrifice for love from Tale of Two Cities.

I am human, so nothing human is alien to me
Homo sum: humani nil a me alienum puto
Terentius
Terentius, Publius (190 - 159 B.C.), Roman poet, came as slave from Carthage to Rome, was later released. Six comedies he wrote are known, compiled from Greek examples: Andria, Heautontimoroumenos, Eunuchus, Phormio, Hecyra, Adelphi.
The quote is from Heautontimoroumenos (The Self-Tormentor) and I think it's the most inspiring, most frightening and wisest line I've ever read.

oh, so many! But I have to say it would be from "Tuesdays With Morrie" by Mitch Albom. If you haven't already read it, it is wonderful. Anyway, here's the quote:
"When you learn how to die, you learn how to live."
good luck and god bless.
