I posted these in this thread today, but thought I'd share them here too, just for the record. ^.^ Enjoy. And don't lose hope!

"The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."
- Winston Churchill

"I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be one with no thought to their separateness as Negroes, Jews, Italians or any other distinctions. This will be the day when we bring into full realization the American dream -- a dream yet unfulfilled. A dream of equality of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed; a dream of a land where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few; a dream of a land where men will not argue that the color of a man's skin determines the content of his character; a dream of a nation where all our gifts and resources are held not for ourselves alone, but as instruments of service for the rest of humanity; the dream of a country where every man will respect the dignity and worth of the human personality."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us."

once, when I was little, My dad treated me to playing chess with a "master" in a street. it was 2 dollars a game, and if you won agaisnt him you would get his day's salary. When I totally failed and said I was terrible at chess, he said to me:
"The man who calls himself bad at something is wasting time. The man who calls another bad is wasting Oxygen, and a man who trys hard to make himself better will save this world."
I never forgot it.

I've got another one from LOTR. They are creating a diversion and one of the main characters says:
"It'll kill us all, and has a small chance of success. What are we waiting for?"

by **Adam Shootyperson** Sat 05 Jun 2010, 8:03 pm

@ DoF :
"Reputation is what the world thinks a man is; character is what he really is."

This is the best quote in my opinion.
