God has not promised skies always blue, flower strewn pathways all our lives through. God has not promised sun without rain, joy without sorrow, peace without pain... But God has promised strength for today, rest for the labour and light for the way. Grace for the trials, help from above; unfailing sympathy, undying love. I love that and it always spurs me on!

I don't consider myself a religious person, but I find the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi(The Prayer of Peace) very inspiring and grounding: Lord, make me an instrument of thy Peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injustice, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O, Divine Master, let me not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Most of my favorite quotes come from here: http://despair.com It's always darkest just before it goes pitch black. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups. If you can't learn to do something well, learn to enjoy doing it poorly. Until you spread your wings, you'll have no idea how far you can walk. The downside of being better than everyone else is that people tend to assume you're pretentious. Your role may be thankless, but if you're willing to give it your all, you just might bring success to those who outlast you. Just because you've always done it that way doesn't mean it's not incredibly stupid. Just because you're necessary doesn't mean you're important. And one of my personal favorites: No brain, no pain. And yeah, they inspire and motivate me.

I don't know if it motivates..but this is my favourite quote:Macbeth: To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. Macbeth Act 5, scene 5, 19–28
