Timeless quotes

For this post, Id like to share some quotes I found interesting and otherwise worthy to learn, keep and share. I think they make not only for great readings but are nuggets worth modeling life against. What do you think?

1. When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow--You may succeed with another blow, Success is failure turned inside out--The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. (Unknown)

2.Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
(Nelson Mandela)

3.Yesterday is history. Tommorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift that's why they call it the present.
(Unknown)

4. ...the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it. - The Lion King
(Rafikki)

5. Never be afraid to try, remember...Amateurs built the ark, Professionals built the Titanic.(Unknown) - one of my very favourites

6.One grain may tip the scale. One man may make the difference between victory and defeat.(Mulan)

I could go on and on, lets muse on these!
