My favorite one is "Don't be a dreamstealer." I have no idea who said it first. Maybe it was me.

Also, "Set powerful goals, realistic or unrealistic. If you set no goals, you stagnate and stay the same."

"The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good." Ann Landers

"Everything you see I owe to spaghetti. Spaghetti can be eaten most successfully if you inhale it like a vacuum cleaner." Sophia Loren

And my personal motto "If you don't ask, you get nothing. The answer may be no, but it might be yes"
