What's Your Favorite Inspirational Quote?

[Daryn Kagan]

My friend, Jeni, gave me the loveliest gift last year for my birthday. She bought a journal, passed it around to all my friends. Each one wrote their favorite inspirational quote. It was a starter kit for collecting quotes on my journey through life.

One of my favorites that I keep on my desk, "When you come to the edge of all that you know,
you must believe in one of two things:
There will be earth upon which to stand
or
you will be given wings."

What about you? I'd love to get a string of quotes going here.
Thanks@

Daryn -

Your site, in itself, is so inspirational!

Here's a quote: "Life is what happens when you're busy making plans". - John Lennon
To this, I say, live every day like it was your last, dance, laugh and enjoy the wonders of the universe. They are there for all of us. The past cannot be returned to so you can fix something. The future will be here soon enough, but you can't pull it toward you any faster. Live in the moment. Live in the now. Each moment in your life is a miracle.
