Just starting this post to keep track of all my favorite quotes..

Quotes that have inspired me, made me laugh, made me ponder….

• Egoism the highest poverty of a created being- Freidrich von Schiller
• When you come to the end of all the light you know, and it’s time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: Either you will be given something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly.
• “Often we may be in doubt as to what to do. It is no easy matter to decide what is right and what is not. One little test I shall ask you to apply whenever you are in doubt. It may help you. Never do anything in secret or anything you wish to hide. For the desire to hide anything means that you are afraid, and fear is a bad thing and unworthy of you. Be brave, and all the rest follows. If you are brave, you will not fear and will not do anything of which you are ashamed.” – Jawaharlal Nehru, First Prime Minister, India
• In the words of Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, ‘Life’s a journey, not a destination’. The essential thing is not to have won, but to have fought well.
• In science, the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to the man to whom the idea first occurs.
• What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.
• Appreciate life itself, even if it is not a bed of roses. Contentment is fulfilment of not what you wish for, but appreciation of what you have.
• It is not in the stars to hold your destiny, but in ourselves. – William Shakespeare
