'My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse
or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference.
I, for one, believe the piano player job to be much more honorable than
current politicians.' --Harry Truman

My personal favorite from Professor Dumbledore in Harry Potter -
"It does not do, Harry, to dwell on dreams, and forget to live."
Or for my daughters, from Virginia Woolf in To the Lighthouse -
"Nature has but little clay, like that of which she moulded you."
My all time favourite quote is from the season 3 epsiode of Buffy, Lover's Walk.
"I may be love's bitch but at least I'm man enough to admit it." ~ Spike
The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.
Abraham Lincoln

A day later I bet the neighbors wouldn't back her story up...

Live your dream, dream not your life.

Not so much a quote but a prayer from the Book of Common Prayer (1662)
Oh most powerful and glorious Lord God, at whose command the winds blow, and the waves rise from the sea, and who stillest the rage thereof; we thy creatures, but miserable sinners, do in this our great distress cry unto thee for help; save lord or else we perish. We confess; when we have been safe and seen all things quiet about us, we have forgotten thee our God, and refused to harken to the still voice of thy word, and to obey thy commandments: But now we see how terrible thou art in all thy works of wonder; the great God to be feared above all: and therefore we adore thy divine Majesty, acknowledging thy power, and imploring thy goodness.
