What are some that you have?

I don't know if this counts but my favourite quote of all time is 'Put your heart, mind, intellect, and soul even to your smallest acts. This is the secret of success' -Swami Sivananda

Personal favorite MLK Jr. quote is "Only in darkness can you see the stars."

Reminds me of a quote in a Terry Pratchett book "Sometimes it's better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness."

Which is itself a play on a similar quote about a candle rather than a flamethrower.

Reason: Co-opting words by an influential black activist to suit your white worldview.

Behave yourself

Anon from above who commented a few seconds ago about how I love that you're giving reasons now.

Please keep only use good reasons. Thanks.

Being a smug prick is a good reason.
Being someone who quotes MLK isn't really.

This Ralph Waldo Emerson one is good for me: "Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."

That is a good one.

"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

Cheesy, but: "The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain" - Dolly Parton

Might be a bit cheesy, but also kind of insightful. I like it.

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

And "fake it till you make it"

And good old "shit happens" which has a very interesting wiki article btw.

It does have a very interesting wiki article lol.

Nothing matters very much, and few things matter at all.

"As soon as you're born you start dying, so you might as well have a good time." - CAKE

When I need inspiration, I look to Courage Wolf. Courage Wolf never fails me in my hours of need.

"A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for." - Grace Murray Hopper

"Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it." - Ziad K. Abdelnour

"Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken."

Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world — "No, YOU move."

Yeah. That one.

Non-american here. Love this quote.

Nothing is hard to do unless you get excited or upset about it.
