I love quotes, sayings and proverbs, and here is a selection of my favourite:

It is good to have an end to journey towards but in the end it is the journey that matters

Make the most of yourself for that is all there is of you
 
If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it; if you don’t ask the answer is always no; if you don’t step forward you’ll always be in the same place
 
Sometimes life’s shadows are caused by our standing in our own sunshine 

Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new landscapes but in having new eyes 

Beyond the mountains there are mountains again 

What we see depends mainly on what we look for 

Don’t be afraid to go out on a limb for that is where the fruit is

No garden is without its weeds 

Pick battles big enough to matter but small enough to win 

It doesn’t work to leap a twenty-foot chasm in two ten-foot jumps 

Don’t limit a challenge, challenge a limit 

Without the stones of life being thrown at you, you would have nothing to step on to get to the next level 

Happiness is not by chance but by choice 

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow

Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out 

You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building a nest in your hair 

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned 

For every minute you are angry or upset, you lose 60 seconds of happiness 

Some pursue happiness – others create it 

Teachers open doors but you must enter by yourself 

Everyone has his burden. What counts is how you carry it 

Be who you are and say what you mean, for those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind
