'Be the change you want to see in the world' - GandhiOne of my favourite quotes. I don't know if it fits the inspirational quota, but I love it.

" A definition not found in the dictionary. Not leaving: the act of trust and love, often deciphered by children"This is a quote from The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak. It may not sound like much on its own, but in the context of the story, it is overwhelming.
I also love: “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” - Dr. Seuss
Another one of my all time favourite quotes.
These are all so good! By the way, you can enter as many quotes as you wish. I'd rather there be heaps so that we can hold a poll later on.

Some of my faves:“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

“You can only come to the morning through the shadows.”

“I would rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not. ”

"In a story, there is an end and a beginning. In a book, every ending is the beginning of another chapter."
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.” ― Marilyn Monroe
Look around you and never forget, a stranger's just a friend you haven't yet met.
Here are a few of my favorites(I have to split it up into a few posts): 1)“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

2)“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one.”

3)“Logic will get you from A to Z; imagination will get you everywhere.”

4)“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...”
― Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll Go!
5) “Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”

2) You know a book is a good one when you finish reading it and you feel as if you've lost a good friend.
3) Because you're young, you're torn between a world of hate and a world of dreams. So much to lose, so much to gain. So much to fight for, so much to change.

I OWN NOTHING. ALL RIGHTS GO TO THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNERS.

I OWN NOTHING. ALL RIGHTS GO TO THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNERS.
"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity."

Try a little Harder to get a little Better
I have a ton but here are a few:You never know what you have until its gone
Big things have small beginnings
You reap what you sow
What goes around, comes around
Yesterday is a history, today is a gift, tomorrow is a mystery
The most beautiful things cannot be seen, but must be felt with the heart.
It doesn't necessarily have to be funny, but it does have to be inspirational.
