Heres a couple more:
2 Timothy 1:7...For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Both of these I have on my desk as well.

One I heard many years ago, before I was a jw, from a friend at university who had become a born again christian:
If you meet me and forget me, you have lost nothing. If you meet Jesus and forget him, you have lost everything.
I like this one by Oscar Wilde as well:
One can survive everything, nowadays, except death, and live down everything except a good reputation.
From Maya Angelou:
"The honorary duty of a human being is to love"
"History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again"
"Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with shades of deeper meaning"
Signature on my e-mail says " Some people spend there entire lives running from something that isn't even chasing them"
Some days you are the pigion, some days you are the statue.

The one that meant most to me for the last year or so:
Suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problems. (I don't know who said it).
Another couple for more optimistic times!:
"A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else." John Burroughs.
"Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can." - John Wesley.
No matter what you do, no matter how great, no matter how stupid, no matter how loving, no matter how cruel, wonderful, shortsighted or wise, you always do with a positive intention for yourself in the moment when you do it.
"The truth may set you free, but first it will shatter the safe, sweet you live."
