“We are born into this time and must bravely follow the path to the destined end. There is no other way. Our duty is to hold on to the lost position, without hope, without rescue, like that Roman soldier whose bones were found in front of a door in Pompeii, who, during the eruption of Vesuvius, died at his post because they forgot to relieve him. That is greatness. That is what it means to be a thoroughbred. The honorable end is the one thing that can not be taken from a man.” - Oswald Spengler

Bit of a religious quote:

"Come out into the broad open light of day, come out from the little narrow paths, for how can the infinite soul rest content to live and die in small ruts?
Come out into the universe of Light. Everything in the universe is yours, stretch out your arms and embrace it with love. If you ever felt you wanted to do that, you have felt God."

Some random favourites that fall under the general theme of inspiration:

Anon

"If what you believe does not influence your behaviour, then do you truly believe in it?"

Plutarch

“Those who aim at great deeds must also suffer greatly.”

LOTR

Frodo: “I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.”

Gandalf: "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you.”

HIMYM

Ted: “But it's not his fault, okay? It's nobody's fault. You and Zoey have nothing in common. For God's sake, Captain, she hates boats! You're just not right for each other. Look, I know it's tough to face, but I'm sure a small part of you has always known that.”

The Captain: “Why couldn't she just like boats? Just to have one thing in common? Other girls like boats, don't they?”

Ted: “Of course they do. And you'll find one. And you'll be much happier with her than you ever were with Zoey.”

The Captain: “When you put it that way, I should almost thank the doorman.”

Thoreau

“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears the beat of a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.”

Bulleh Shah

Bulleh Shah, you can’t curdle milk without rennet
Even if you make it turn red through trying. (Sounds so much better in the original Punjabi)

Roger Staubach

“Confidence is the result of hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication.”

Buckminster Fuller

"None of the world's problems will have a solution until the world's individuals become thoroughly self-educated."
