Hey! I'm doing the same thing! Well, I am in my second year of my doctoral program, but I waited 6 years after my Masters degree to finish it. It's rough, but it is worth it. Good luck!

My quotes:

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
--Aristotle

The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson

There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as if everything is.
--Albert Einstein

I dwell in possibility...
--Emily Dickinson

Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.
--Steven Wright.

Gravity is a harsh mistress.
--The Tick

If you're flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit.
-- Mitch Hedburg

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.
--Galileo Galilei

How to make a million dollars: First, get a million dollars.
--Steve Martin

"Hope is nothing more than wishful thinking. It abrogates definitive focus and creates false friends whom are much worse than true enemies."--Sun Tzu

"Ambition is the last refuge of failure."--Oscar Wilde

"There is a saying about strategy, I dare not play the host but play the guest."--Lao Tzu

"He who boasts of himself will have no merit. He who brags of himself will not endure."--Lao Tzu

"Never play favorites. Anything you do that is not built on balance will eventually topple, causing you great grief."--Lao Tzu

Try not to take these for face value. All too often I encounter people that take these the wrong way when it's actually very helpful advice.

Get a copy of Bartlett's quotations or go to the library. I bet they even have a web site. By gum, they do. Look for "Bartlett's Familiar Qotations" . They categorize by subject....like "motivation" or "inspiration" etc.
(I don't yet know how to do links) sorry-newbie.
It's a great publication and I know you'll find something online. Good luck to you!!!!!
