    My favourite:

    If You Think You Are Beaten

    If you think you are beaten, you are.
    If you think you dare not, you don't.
    If you'd like to win but think you can't,
    It's almost certain you won't.
    Life's battles don't always go
    To the stronger or faster man,
    But sooner or later, the man who wins
    Is the man who thinks he can.

    Life should not be measured by the amount of breaths you take, but rather by the moments that take your breath away.

    I wanted to die in my sleep like my granddad, not kicking and screaming like the passanger in his car. :D

    "Learn the ways to preserve rather than destroy. Avoid rather than check; check rather than hurt; hurt rather than maim, maim rather than kill; for all life is precious, nor can any be replaced."
