"Wisdom is the knowledge of ignorance. Thus ignorance is the beginning of wisdom.
But stupidity is forever."

"Imagine it, accomplish it.
What you dream, you are."

"We are what we are. That means you will never be me. But if you have taste, nothing need stop you from trying."

"When endangered by treachery...
--Do not get mad.
--Do not get even.
--Get away.
THEN get even."

"No training, no skill, no energy or force can overcome the mind of a fool."

"To make beauty from a diamond is given to many men. Ahhh, but to make beauty from a pale piece of pig's ear is something else. That takes the skill of a Master."

To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.
--Buddha (B.C.E. 568-488)

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.
--Buddha
What we think, we become.

I have some more favourites ...here goes...

There is only one success--to be able to spend your life your own way.
-- Chris Morley

A dreamer lives for eternity.
--Anon

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.
--Soren Kierkegaard

I am intouch with myself and it feels wonderful, for the first time I dont have to prove why Im here; I can just be.
Being intouch gives you such great freedom and aliveness and love, and I want those things to get continually grow more real for me.
--Valerie Harper.

And here is one I found today, after I finished reading another book called 'the edge of reality' by Dawn Hill.
"There is black and there is white and there are countless shades of grey in between. Nobody's perfect and , in condemning he 'evil' in others, we can fail to recognise the darkness in ourselves. As human spirits, we are evolving but our destiny is not completely predetermained. We can evolve towards Light or Darkness: we choose the direction by the actions and attitudes we display towards others.

AND...
If a person is generally loving, kind and considerate, what right does anyone have to attack that person's philosophy??
