Here are some quotes that continue to inspire me years after their discovery:
Make no little plans: They have no magic to stir men's blood. --- Daniel H. Burnham
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. --- Albert Einstein
Better to dare Mighty Things and fail, than to live in a grey twilight where there is neither victory nor defeat. --- Theodore Roosevelt
"A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small package"
"Call on God, but row away from the rocks"
I felt a cleaving in my Mind -
As if my Brain had split -
I tried to match it - Seam by Seam -
But could not make them fit.
The thought behind, I strove to join
Unto the thought before -
But Sequence ravelled out of Sound -
Like Balls - upon a Floor.
--- Emily Dickinson
This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by ourself as a mighty one ... the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. --- George Bernard Shaw
