What is your favorite quote?

Recently my Grandmother died. I was told by my a cousin that she was buried a few plots away from famous playwright August Wilson. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Wils... On his grave stone it said "You are wherever you are, I'm here."

I thought it was a nice bit of graveyard humor and it instantly became one of my favorite quotes.

So now I ask you what are your favorite quotes. They can be from anywhere. Just tell us why you like it and what it means to you.

Oh I have another from my young cousin. After eating a good helping of spaggetti she said "My tummy is all squigly from all da esgetti."

    "Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone, and do not be troubled about the future, for it has yet to come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering."

    4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

    8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away

    -1 Corinthians 13:4-8

    -- some people may find it mushy. but it does not actually talk about romantic love only. it talks about love in all forms, which i really find inspiring especially at times i really feel down. :)

    Maybe it's the only way that we can finally stand on our own.

    Ya know, to hurt each other so much that we have no choice but to let go.

    Maybe otherwise we never would.

    this quote has always helped me:

    "when there's something you want fight for it. Don't give up no matter what how hopeless it seems, even when you've lost hope, cause years from now you're gonna look back and wished you gave it one more shot cause the best things in life don't come easy. "

    "The work you do today will be your reputation tomorrow".

    I don't know who said it, but it kind of gives me a reason to take pride in my work everyday.
