-Buddha

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.
-Buddha

If you like this one, you might like Lao Tzu's quote, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with just a single step."





As for me, I really follow Siddhartha Gautama's saying, "A thousand candles can be lit from a single candle and the first's flame will not be diminished. Kindness, like a candle, can never be extinguished by being shared."

I think of any quote that defines my life, this would be the best fitting.

The next one I live by is a quote from the magician, Merlyn, in the Sword in the Stone:
"The best thing for being sad," replied Merlyn... "is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world around you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honor trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then - to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the thing for you."


And finally, The reincarnation of Chenrezig, the being of infinite compassion,
"If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever."
-His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.

Silence is the ultimate weapon of power.
-Charles de Gaulle

Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error

I had not really looked into his quotes, but just looked at a list and this one is GREAT:

"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. "

Lovely.

this one

"an eye for an eye, and soon the whole world is blind" - Ghandi

It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, rather it is because we don't dare that things are difficult"

"It is not the thought of failure and powerlessness but rather the prospect of our own potential that scares us most"

I have a feeling i messed those two up a bit but they're pretty much the same and i like them both.
