" What is life if you don't challenge yourself to do the impossible?"

Although love dwells in gorgeous palaces, and sumptuous apartments, more willingly than in miserable and desolate cottages, it cannot be denied but that he sometimes causes his power to be felt in the gloomy recesses of forests, among the most bleak and rugged mountains, and in the dreary caves of a desert.
Giovanni Boccaccio
Excerpt From Maud By: Lord Alfred Tennyson
"Half the night I waste in sighs,
Half in dreams I sorrow after
The delight of early skies;
In a wakeful doze I sorrow
For the hand, the lips, the eyes,
For the meeting of the morrow
The delight of happy laughter,
The delight of low replies."

Dread remorse when you are tempted to err, Miss Eyre: remorse is the poison of life.

Hope is our one protest against the cruel dictators which forever govern this fair land. Hope is the only light shining in a room dark with the greed of a thousand tyrants. Hope is the gentle tug which guides us away from the deep chasm of fear. Hope, my child, is something no one can take away from you.
-Mother Maledi

There are only three things in this world that give you unquestioning loyalty: dogs, donuts, and money. - Homer Simpson :D
Just came across this quote which overwhelmed me. I may put it as my signature.
