Great quotes!

Here's another Einstein one:

Ralph Waldo Emerson:
"A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer."

"Who honors those we love for the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us, and at the same time sings that will never die? Who teaches us whats real, and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live, and what we'll die to defend? Who trains us, and who holds the key to set us free? It's you. You have all the weapons you need. Now fight!" -ending monologue of Sucker Punch

There are many, but this is undoubtedly my favorite:
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the
privilege of owning yourself.

I really like this one.

It's my new favourite.

Young Indy was just caught for stealing an artifact, one of the bad guys says to him "You lost this time, kid, But it doesn't mean you have to like it"

“Oh soul,
you worry too much.
You have seen your own strength.
You have seen your own beauty.
You have seen your golden wings.
Of anything less,
why do you worry?
You are in truth
the soul, of the soul, of the soul.”
~ Rumi ~
