"A child has no trouble believing the unbelievable, nor does the genius or the madman. It's only you and I, with our big brains and our tiny hearts, who doubt and overthink and hesitate."
"Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different."
"I feel strangely free at such times. To behave properly is to be always courteous, always clever, and subtle and elegant. But now, when I am so alone, I do not have to be any of these things.
For this moment, I am wholly myself, unshaped by the needs of others, by their dreams or expectations or sensibilities.
But I am also lonely. With no one to shape me, who stands here, watching the moon, or the stars, or the clouds?"

Battle not with monsters lest ye become a monster; and if you gaze into the abyss the abyss gazes at you

I'll never forget a quote that was in a 7th grade teacher's room. I always try to live by it, although it's very difficult given the seemingly disgusting nature of some people:
"Never criticize your neighbor until you've walked a mile in his moccasins."
I also like:
The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."
"Holding onto anger is like holding a piece of hot charcoal with the intent of throwing it at some one else,you are the one who ends up getting burnt"-Buddha
"Peace comes from within,do not seek it without"-Buddha
"Nothing in this world is difficult. Only the mind makes it so."
