This is not exactly a quote but more an inspiring poem that I have had framed and hangs on my wall now for over 15 years.

[FONT=&quot]Promise Yourself[/FONT]
:heart:
Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only the best, to work only for the best and expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheery countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvements of yourself that you have to time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

Christian D. Larson

["Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are."]
-Kurt Cobain
Remember that for forever and for always. :] No matter how much you might not feel like it at the moment. No matter who tries to make you feel lowly for the person that you are. Because if you can't hold yourself up with a firm head on your shoulders, the essence of who you are starts to crumble.

To ACHIEVE your dreams
and be all you can be
set goals, work hard.
and SUCCEED drug free!............................

This is the motto that is used in our elementary school for the children to stay off drugs.
