   Here's a few of my favorites:
   
   If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves. - Thomas A. Edison
   
   If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise. - Robert Fritz
   
   The biggest mistake people make in life is not trying to make a living at doing what they most enjoy. - Malcolm S. Forbes

   We are constantly invited to be who we are. You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. -- Thoreau
   
   The secret of understanding is to get mentally inside whatever it is you are trying to understand - to gaze outward, so to speak, from its center rather than inward from its periphery. -- J. Donald Walters
   
   There can be no political revolution, no social revolution, no economic revolution. The only revolution is that of the spirit; it is individual. And if millions of individuals change, then the society will change as a consequence, not vice versa. You cannot change the society first and hope that individuals will change later on. -- Osho
   
   Dreaming, in its purest form, is witnessing life just as it is. We perceive from the moment of our birth. As infants, our minds are unformed and silent. There are no words describing our perception. There are no concepts narrating our emotions. Returning to that state of silent mind, through Dreaming, we intensify awareness. In the silence created by absence of thought, we open to perception. -- Don Miguel Ruiz

   Not sure if this would be considered inspirational, but I love it anyway

   "Globally, we need to learn from the custom and culture of our Indigenous people and tread lightly on the earth - in the belief that we don't own the land, we belong to it. It's up to us." - Ian Kiernan

   Desiderata (excerpt)
   
   Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
   and remember what peace there may be in silence.
   As far as possible without surrender
   be on good terms with all persons.
   Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
   and listen to others,
   even the dull and the ignorant;
   they too have their story.
   
   Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
   they are vexations to the spirit.
   If you compare yourself with others,
   you may become vain and bitter;
   for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
   Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans....

   "Shit happens"
   Weird as an inspirational quote I'm sure, but it works for me.
