"Til the roof comes off, til my legs give out from underneath me, I will not fall, I will stand tall." It's a line from Eminem, but it keeps me going. I can be strong enough to walk, no matter how much I want to just fall flat on my face.

"It's not about changing the world. It's about doing our best to leave the world the way it is. It's about respecting the will of others and believing in your own." - This is from Metal Gear Solid 4. I don't want to change the world. I just want to live according to my own will.

"Don't be an idiot."

If I want to do something, I think to myself, "Would an idiot do that?" and if they would, then I do not do that thing. *coughcoughREWARD-FOR-THE-REFERENCEcoughcough*

Also...At some point, you have to leave your comfort zone if you really want to live your life.

This too shall pass.
Before enlightenment; chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment; chop wood, carry water.
And all of Rudyard Kipling's "If".

My personal favourite is "A wise man speaks because he has something to say, a fool speaks because he has to say something.".

"Good things come in small packages"

I'm talking about my height.....

If you don't believe those words, just look at Krillin from Dragonball.....oh wait.....he sucks.

"Use only that which works, and take it from any place you can find it." - Bruce Lee

"The unexamined life is not worth living." - Socrates

"The need to shit after eating does not mean that eating is a waste of time." - Mao tse-tung

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe." - Albert Einstein

"Some people are just born human. The rest of us, we take a lifetime to get there." Rant(novel)

There are many more people and sources that inspire me, but I'd say those are my top five.

"Continue going, because stopping is worse".

I don't really use that to motivate myself, but it seems to be a decent line.

"imagination is more important than knowledge"
-Albert Einstein

and

"Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people in the whole world. I mean all everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands, maybe.
-Neil Gaiman -from- Sandman

Mark Twain quotes are the best. Great words to live by.

A combination of several, not particularly quotes from anyone:

"Be happy as you will; cry as you need; be angry when you have no other choice."

"Do no harm, if you can help it."

"Live your own life, and let others live theirs; share your life with those who would share theirs with you, though."

"Question everything, especially yourself, and especially your beliefs. The best mind admits its faults and wrongs, knows what it can prove, knows what is faith and what is understanding."

"Love is powerful, and love is rare; when you find it, don't let it go. But beware, for love that blinds and love that wounds, whomsoever it does, is to be abhorred and avoided."
