Lately, I have this renewed love for quotes from famous people. I like the way someone can sum up a thought process up in just a few words. Here are some new (to me) ones that I found recently that I thought were great.
"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on." - Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
"The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work." - Emile Zola (1840-1902)
- "I'm living so far beyond my income that we may almost be said to be living apart."
- - e e cummings (1894-1962)
- "I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have."
- - Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
- "In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
- - Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968)
- "Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right."
- - Henry Ford (1863-1947)
- "Whenever I climb I am followed by a dog called 'Ego'."
- - Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)
- "If you are going through hell, keep going."
- - Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
- "When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world."
- - George Washington Carver (1864-1943)
- Nancy Beach
My all time favorite is...
"There is nothing neither good nor bad. Thinking makes it so. "
-Wm. Shakespeare

I love Shakespeare, I have that quote written down in one of my journals, it is so very true.
These are great! I don't have any profound ones.... but I stick to "It is what it is." Basically, I can't change what has happened, I can only move forward. Great post!
From your list this is my favorite
Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right."
- Henry Ford (1863-1947)
but my absolute favorite "words" come from leann Womak - in her song I hope you dance...
from my Esther bible study:
I believe in the sun,even when it is not shining.
I believe in love,even when I do not feel it.
I believe in God,even when He is silent.
"and who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?" Esther 4:14
