I like that one too, Mel!
I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do. Helen Keller
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart. Helen Keller
I also like this one and don't know who said it:
Life's rough. Wear a helmet.

Life's rough. Wear a helmet. Haha! ;D ;D ;D That's great, I really like that one. Also like the one about doing at least something if not everything. We have quite a collection here now. “I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.”Hermann Hesse

Good one, Nadin!
I have a lot today.. I couldn't choose!
Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple. Dr. Seuss
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter won't mind. Dr. Seuss
The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible. Arthur C. Clarke
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit. Aristotle
Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall. Confucius

Life's rough. Wear a helmet. “I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.”Hermann Hesse Very nice quotations! Thank you! Here are a couple of my favourite ones I'd like to share: Everyone hears only those things he comprehends./Horace/ There are two points of view: my own and the wrong one. /Twain/

I like that first quote. I like it when I can try new things so that I can expand my "horizons."
Haha to the second!

;D This quote looks as an absolute leader: this thread was started with it by digitus quintus, and then it was cited at least twice! Three cheers to Dr. Seuss

lamur muse , the Horace one is great! Funnily enough, Goethe said the same thing:
"A person hears only what they understand." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Quite like these lyrics from Coldplay's Lost, especially the first couple of lines. I was just going to post them, but then I thought probably best not to take them out of context, so here's the lot:
Just because I'm losing Doesn't mean I'm lost Doesn't mean I'll stop Doesn't mean I will cross
Just because I'm hurting Doesn't mean I'm hurt Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserve No better and no worse
I just got lost Every river that I've tried to cross And every door I ever tried was locked Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off...
You might be a big fish In a little pond Doesn't mean you've won 'Cause along may come A bigger one And you'll be lost
Every river that you tried to cross Every gun you ever held went off Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the firing starts Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off

This is a great thread! Thank you digitus quintus for starting this. For today I can add those two: The first step towards truth is doubt. - Denis Diderot Enttäuscht vom Affen schuf Gott den Menschen. Danach verzichtette er auf weitere Experimente. - Mark Twain

Do not give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying...
