I've kept coming back to this one over the past few years:

Sam Gamgee: "It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was before so much bad had happened? But in the end its only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding on to Sam?
Sam: That there's good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And its worth fighting for. "

Great group Dana! Here's my all time favorite..."Humility gains, pride loses." It's like a law of physics.

No one can deny you anything. Only you deny it through your vibrational contradiction. ~ Abraham Hicks

I have one favorite :

"For those who believe, no explanation is necessary; for those who do not believe, no explanation will suffice."

Joseph Dunninger

[Tataruga]

"the only deep sense of things
is them, not having any deep sense at all
i don't believe in God 'cause i've never seen him.
if he wanted me to believe him,
with no doubt he would come and speak to me
and he would enter my door
telling me, here I am!

(...)

but if God is the flowers and the trees
and the hills and sun and the moonlight,
then i believe him,
then i believe him all the time,
and my whole life is a prayer and a mass,
and a communion with the eyes and through the ears."



(from some poem by Alberto Caeiro - who, in fact, was Fernando Pessoa, the portuguese poet - translated by Mrs. Turtle.)
