Mine is this: "The state of your life is a reflection of your state of mine."

"I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor.

"Give your trust to the people you know BUT make sure you know the people you trust".

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creep in this petty pace to the last syllable of recorded time. And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle. Life's but a wandering shadow - a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot - full of sound and fury; signifying nothing.

Everything happens for a reason.
