Usually I like to mix up funny light hearted quotes with more meaty inspirational ones just to keep things from getting to monotonous...but I'll skip that today because these quotes really jumped out at me.

"With realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world."

"It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come."

and

"I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest."

-Dalai Lama
