What are some of your favorite quotes, be they inspirational, religious, comical, or otherwise meaningful to you.

I have noted several below: 

 

Those who sow in tears, shall reap with shouts of joy.

Never give up ... for that's just the place and time that the tide will turn.

Sometimes you need a little crisis to get your adrenaline flowing and help you realize your potential.

In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

It's not what you achieve, it's what you overcome. That's what defines your career.

Do not surrender to fate after a single failure. Failure, at most, precedes success.

Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you -- they're supposed to help you discover who you are.

"The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant".

"If I have not seen as far as others, it is because giants were standing on my shoulders." 

"Not the triumph, but the struggle."

"Whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are beautiful, whatever things have a good reputation; if there is any integrity and glory about them, think on these things."

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they’d never expect it.

“The Democrats are the party that says government 
will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove crabgrass 
on your lawn.  The Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work, and then they get elected and prove it.” 

"What other people think of me is none of my business."

"Well done is better than well said."

"Brevity is the soul of wit."

I ignore the friggin’ ultra negative bore that sits down the hall from me and I certainly don’t condone his crap though.

When someone is doing a half ass job:

There are two ways to do things: the right way and the bullshit way. Guess which one you are doing?

When you and a friend are being chased by a bear, it's not necessary for you to outrun the bear.  It's necessary for you to outrun your friend.
