    Quotes are great and i even wrote a crude entry in my experimental blog on how they can motivate you and give you hope/perspective recently.

    Here are a few good ones that come to mind

    Aldous huxley
    Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him. -
    An intellectual is a person who has discovered something more interesting than sex.

    Bruce lee
    Balance your thoughts with action. — If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done.
    If you make an ass out of yourself, there will always be someone to ride you.

    The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat. - Lily tomlin
