Favorite Quotes

I like quotes that make me think and that remind me what I should be doing on a daily basis. I'd love to hear what favorite quotes all of you like.

One of mine:

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and affection of children; to learn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a little bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." Ralph Waldo Emerson

"No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves."
-Amelia Earhart

"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness."
-Dalai Lama

I think these go well together...

It keeps me humble, and it keeps me striving to make a difference, because no matter what, I can always reach for more.

A quote I really like that has helped me out is "This too will pass." from King Solomon. I really like this quote because if you're down or going through tough times it gives you hope and helps you realized that "This too will pass." And if you're on top of the world, it keeps you humble, because you don't stay on top of the world forever and being on top of the world passes by too.
