"I began collecting quotes when I was a college student. Now that I work at a university, I share my quotes with everyone, not just my students. I print out my favorites and put them on my office door, my bulletin board, attach quotes to my email signature and use them in class projects. I love inspirational quotes and find that sharing them truly makes me feel good. My favorite for my student leaders: 'Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.' --Emerson." --creativespirit_69
"My aunt taught me this when I was a little bitty girl because I was very introverted and hated going to parties and other social gatherings. I'd always say, 'But, it's no fun! It's just a bunch of standing around!' Then she'd say, "You take your party with you. You go expecting to have a good time and you make it a good time by what you do. Don't wait for other people to make your life fun.'" --thelighthouse
"Here's one I live by: 'The difference between what we are doing and what we are capable of doing would solve most of the world's problems.' --Mahatma Gandhi." --lisa.keith
"A bend in the road is not the end of the road -- unless you fail to make the turn." --2talljones
"Being able to manage uncertainty is what separates those who prosper in business and spirit." --calm14
"I am very guilty of allowing fear to get in the way of my personal success. Now that I am committed to making a career change in the near future, I find myself repeating the words from the Holy Bible, 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.' Just repeating that biblical verse reminds me that there is a powerful force that is capable of doing the impossible. I can rely on his strength and I am powerful. I am strong." --unclaimed_treasure
"I have a small, framed picture on my desk that reminds me: 'Lord, help me remember that nothing will happen today that we can't handle together.' A simple yet powerful thought!" --bwax99
"Treat yourself well." --psbrenda
"My mantra is, 'Om nama shivaya,' which means, 'I bow to my inner self.' A friend of mine's mother, a woman whose strength and positive outlook I greatly admire, gave it to me. This mantra reminds me that in all my daily dealings, in everything I do in my life, I must always remain true to myself." --kwallace
"'Breathe in ... breathe out ...' It started with a day when I found myself literally holding my breath I was so stressed over a situation I could only watch. So, when I can do nothing else, I remind myself to breathe because all the rest will take care of itself." --mammabird
"'There are two ways of spreading light: To be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.' This quote always comes into my mind. It's comforting because although I may not always actively promote change or goodness, and although I may not always take wise or creative steps, I can still internalize these values and quietly but consistently influence those around me. This line is from a poem by Edith Wharton, 'Vesalius in Zante' (1902)." --nep2une
