my favorite quotes are:
it doesn't matter the number of breaths you take
its the moments that take your breath away. ~Soren Aabye Kierkegaard
We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best. ~fredrich o'r. hayes
But at my back I always hear
Time's winged chariot hurrying near
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity ~Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. Albert Einstein Joy in looking and comprehending is nature's most beautiful gift. Albert Einstein For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone. Audrey Hepburn However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results. Winston Churchill It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But... it is better to be good than to be ugly. Oscar Wilde No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly. Oscar Wilde I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else. Marilyn Monroe My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her. George Washington When you're a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you're not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You'll know it's there, so you're going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back. Steve Jobs Nothing is beautiful, only man: on this piece of naivete rests all aesthetics, it is the first truth of aesthetics. Let us immediately add its second: nothing is ugly but degenerate man - the domain of aesthetic judgment is therewith defined. Friedrich Nietzsche The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude. Friedrich Nietzsche Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too? Douglas Adams

my personal favorite:
"The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours. But to win it requires total dedication and a total break with the world of your past, with the doctrine that man is sacrificial animal who exists for the pleasure of others. Fight for the value of your person. Fight for the virtue of your pride. Fight for the essence, which is man, for his sovereign rational mind. Fight with the radiant certainty and the absolute rectitude of knowing that yours is the morality of life and yours is the battle for any achievement, any value, any grandeur, any goodness, any joy that has ever existed on this earth." ~Ayn Rand
Some great Victor Hugo quotes
"Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings."
"Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?"
"He who opens a school door, closes a prison."
Aristotle has some gems, too
"At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst."
A nice one from Socrates:
"I am not an Athenian or a Greek, I am a citizen of the world."

My favorite quote of all time is from Hamlet by Shakespeare, spoken by Polonius when he is giving advice to his son Laertes.
"This above all: to thine own self be true."
Not only just a pretty quote, but it's kind of been my mantra going through life.
