Especially quotes that have helped you,
for me:
"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising up every time we fall."
There are variations of that quote, but mainly attributed to Confucius
Favorite movie quote:
"Blood has no nationality" from Gatttaca

I have only loved it for 24 hours but “ I have told you and now I want it”* is now my favorite quote I will try to live by  *Tom Cruise yelling at his crew after they were seen breaking the Covid protocol. |

"I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity."
Which is a line from a letter by Edgard Allen Poe to George W. Eveleth written in 1848.

If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you’re misinformed.
Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.
In Paris they just simply opened their eyes and stared when we spoke to them in French. We never did succeed in making those idiots understand their own language.
All by the incomparable Mark Twain

I received a plaque from a former boss of mine with the inspirational message:
"DO IT NOW
Sometimes there is no next time. No second chance, no time out. Sometimes....it's now or never."
The only reason he got it for me is because it pictured a hockey game. The photo was taken behind the goalie. And, the goalie is wearing the same style and colour jersey of the Montreal Canadiens. The boss knew I'm a BIG Montreal Canadiens fan.
But....truth be told, I didn't even notice the picture. I noticed the message first and foremost.
Another one I've been using a lot lately:
YOU'RE KILLING ME, SMALLS! (from "The Sandlot")
Joker's Wilde

"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn."
It has often been attributed to Benjamin Franklin, but it actually came from an ancient Chinese proverb. I love it.
