Inspirational Quotes

[cbh]

I thought it might be nice to have a thread for inspirational quotes. Maybe, if it's popular, we could make it a sticky thread.

First post I saw on a social networking site today:

Don't Take Anything Personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering...
~don Miguel Ruiz~

To relate oneself expectantly to the possibility of the good is to hope, . . . to relate oneself expectantly to the possibility of evil is to fear.

-Soren Kierkegaard

[Hopeful]

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

~Margaret Meade

Ok when I saw this thread it made me so happy because I love quotes! The first one is a little depressing, but it is still one of my favorites:

"It has been said 'time heals all wounds'. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never truly gone." -Rose Kennedy

This second one might be my favorite quote for getting through tough situations realted to being an SO of a PA:

"I have learned that love, not time, heals all wounds." -Andy Rooney

[Hopeful]

"Each time someone stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope."

- Robert F. Kennedy
