I'm here for the story.—Richard Castle from TV show, Castle.Life is a journey, and there is no predicting the outcome. The only thing you can control are your choices, and they'll define who you are.
—Steve Jobs at his Stanford Commencement Address.Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don’t be trapped by dogma—which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
“Life is but a memory Happened long ago. Theatre full of sadness For a long forgotten show.”

Nothing will work unless you do.
History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.

“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it's true I'm here, and I'm just as strange as you.”
― Frida Kahlo
to know yourself, you have to think for yourself, Socrates
Something that inspired me wasn't really a pithy quote it was a something the dwarf actress Linda Hunt said, she said that it wasn't until 3 years after she decided to be an actress that she got up the courage to go to her first audition. Knowing that someone that shy could eventually make it was very moving to me.
People may forget what you said, People may forget what you did, but People will never forget how you made them feel! (unknown author)
Here's a few.
"Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives." — Alan Sachs"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed. It was the experience of mystery -- even if mixed with fear -- that engendered religion. A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, our perceptions of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which only in their most primitive forms are accessible to our minds: it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute true religiosity. In this sense, and only this sense, I am a deeply religious man... I am satisfied with the mystery of life's eternity and with a knowledge, a sense, of the marvelous structure of existence -- as well as the humble attempt to understand even a tiny portion of the Reason that manifests itself in nature." — Albert Einstein"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age." — H.P. Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
“Scratch any cynic and you will find a disappointed idealist.” — George Carlin
"If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little." — George Carlin
Anybody that can quote Lovecraft is cool in my book. :} +1
