This thread is going to get crowded fast so I'll put my 2 cents in...

I must not fear. Fear is the mindkiller. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. And when it is gone I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
- The Bene Gesserit Litany against fear, Dune, Frank Herbert

Good... Bad... I'm the guy with the gun.
-Ash, Army of Darkness (Evil Dead III)

Quick to judge, quick to anger. Slow to understand.
Ignorance and prejudice, they go hand in hand.
-Rush, Moving Pictures, "Witch hunt"

I want a ball, I want a party, Pink macaroons and a million balloons and performing baboons, and..give it to me..now.
-Veruca Salt, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

OK that's enough for now.

"Be the change you want to see in the world." -Gandhi

"I am absolutely convinced that no wealth in the world can help humanity forward, even in the hands of the most devoted worker in this cause. The example of great and pure personages is the only thing that can lead us to find ideas and noble deeds. Money only appeals to selfishness and always irresistibly tempts its owner to abuse it. Can anyone imagine Moses, Jesus or Gandhi with the moneybags of Carnegie?" -Albert Einstein

"He is alone. He is not helpless. It's not the same thing.
...
Pain didn't mean that much to him anymore.
...
Does truth come in breeds like nerfs?
...
The truth always falls short of the words we use to describe it.
...
Choose, and act.
...
One can choose to meet the universe and all its irrational pain, which means meeting oneself, with fear, anger, or despair. Or one can choose to meet it with love.
...
Love is nothing more than the acknowledgement that two are one."

-all from MWS' Traitor

"One kind, affectionate, loving action infinitely outstrips any physical beauty whatsoever."

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.
