Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.
A person will worship something, have no doubt about that. We may think our tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of our hearts, but it will out. That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming.

Here are some of my favorites; I haven't had time to read all the pages so forgive me if some of these are repeats:
"If you are falling--Dive!" --Joseph Campbell
'You get more of what you focus on.' --Marsha Sinetar
"Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength." --Sigmund Freud
"We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us."--Joseph Campbell
"I have never believed one chance is all I get." --Anne Tyler.
And my all time fav:

Good ones, particle. No need to worry about repeating. Good words deserve repeating.

Anger Is One Letter Short Of Danger
Bring The Mind, The Body Will Follow
Inch By Inch, It?s A Cinch; Yard By Yard, It?s Hard
No Matter Where You Go, There You Are
Try It Before You Deny It
