Inspiring quotes thread...

Are there any quotes out there that have made you think real deep about things and have helped you make a positive step in life?

Do share your favourite quotes people.

Know this thread might seem a little random but I love a good quote.

I will start us off with 3 of my favourites.

"First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me." - Martin Niemoeller

"Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, It seems to me most strange that men should fear; Seeing that death, a necessary end, Will come when it will come.” - William Shakespeare, "Julius Caesar", Act 2 scene 2

I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway ... and you see it through no matter what. - To Kill a Mockingbird, Attitus Finch, Chapter 11.

You know a friend of mine asked me before I got here; it's when we were all shipping out. He asked me "Why are you going to fight somebody else's war? What, do you think you're heroes?" I didn't know what to say at the time, but if he'd ask me again I'd say no. I'd say there's not way in hell. Nobody asks to be a hero. It just sometimes turns out that way.

when u laugh, the world laughs with u

when u weep, u weep alone

u kno what, somebody gave me a CD with all of these poems written by Marcus Mosiah Garvey

i will share:

Be King Of Circumstances

The rise of nations and of men

Record tire struggles passed and won,

But none may tell just where and when

The urge did come and thus begun.

It might have been through glorious deeds

Performed by earlier men of fame,

Whose inspiration often leads

To visions that remake a name.

A Constantine, Alexander, too,

A Hannibal and Caesar great

May change the thought of even you

And give a hero to the State.

To read the deeds of men renowned

Will make you choose a given course

That often strikes tire note profound,

Revealing thus the man of force.

The deeds we do must make the race

And force the nation to the top,

And when we gain the honour place

We forge ahead and never Stop.

Keep winning more and still some more,

And set a pace for fainter heart;

Your deeds shall spread from shore to shore,

And worlds shall know you played your part.

Though black of race you are, my friend,

Your part in life is ever here:

There's work for you; the human trend

Calls for each one to have his share.

Go then and play your part to-day,

And think that you are king of all

Circumstances that come your way.

Before which you must never fall.

-1935

Have Faith In Self

Today I made myself in life anew,

By going to that royal fount of truth,

And searching for the secret of the few

Whose goal in life and aim is joy forsooth.

I found at last the friend and counselor

That taught me all that I in life should know;

It is the soul, the sovereign chancellor,

The guide and keeper of the good you sow.

I am advised-"Go ye, have faith in self,

And seek once more the guide that lives in you"

Much better than the world of sordid pelf,

Alas! I found the counsel to be true.

Aha! I know right now that I shall see

The good in life, and be a better man;

I will by thought and deed pull all to me,

In saving others, yea, every one.

Go down and search yourself awhile in part,

And tell me all of what you see and hear;

Isn't there something pulling at your heart?

Tell me the truth and have ye then no fear!

There is a voice that speaks to man, within,

It is the Soul that longs for you to know

There is no need for you to grope in sin,

For you in truth and light may ever grow.

October 27, 1927

Winston Churchill:

"We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France,

we shall fight on the seas and oceans,

we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,

we shall fight on the beaches,

we shall fight on the landing grounds,

we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,

we shall fight in the hills;

we shall never surrender".
