Answer 1

When I give a lecture, I accept that people look at their watches, but what I do not tolerate is when they look at it and raise it to their ear to find out if it stopped."

- Marcel Achard

Answer 2

"A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the d**n poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the h**l out of never trying."

Answer 7

There is a strength of quiet endurance as significant of courage as the most daring feats of prowess.

~Henry Theodore Tuckerman

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness and a deep loving concern.  Beautiful people do not just happen.

~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

This is the art of courage: To see things as they are and still believe that the victory lies not with those who avoid the bad, but those who taste, in living awareness, every drop of the good.

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

Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolutions.

~Kahlil Gibran

And my personal favorite:

Our biggest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our biggest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?

You are a Child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't be insecure around you.

We were born to make magnificent the glory of God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us, it is in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others.

~Nelson Mandela

Naked not only for clothing -- but naked for human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a room of bricks -- but homeless because of rejection.” – Mother Teresa
