What quotes have inspired you to lead a better life or improve your outlook on life and work?

Whilst watching the movie "American Beauty" last night, I heard a quotation that I thought made a lot of sense when working in sales: "In order to be successful - one must project an image of success at all times" I thought it was a really valid point, as when I am dealt with having to make a decision in a sales transaction, it always makes me feel more confident in a purchase when the salesperson is confident, well dressed and appears successful. It is something that I want to project more in my day to day interactions. I'd love to hear any other inspirational quotations/movie references etc. that have made you lead a better life. Thanks!

"It's not enough to love someone when it's easy.
You gotta love them when it's hard, when they don't deserve it, when they're in trouble.
That's what family does."

“Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep.
Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell.
And when you get angry, get good and angry.
Try to be alive.
You will be dead soon enough.” — Ernest Hemingway

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it.
Impossible is not a fact.
It's an opinion.
Impossible is not a declaration.
It's a dare.
Impossible is potential.
Impossible is temporary.
Impossible is nothing.
