Just some more quotes.

Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and of true progress.
-Nicholas Murray Butler

No matter how often defeated, you are born to victory. The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Don't go by gossip and rumor, nor by what's to you by others, not by what you hear said, no even by the authority of you traditional teachings. Don't go by reasoning, nor by inferring one thing from another, nor by argument about methods, not from liking an opinion, nor from awe of the teacher and thinking he bust be deferred to. Instead, when you know from within yourselves that sertain theachings are good, that when put into practice they lead to loss and suffering, you must then trust yourselves and reject them.
-  The Anguttara Nikaya

The way to love anything is to realize it might be lost.
-G. K. Chesterton

Who reaches with a clumsy hand for a rose must not complain if the thorns scratch.
-Heinrich Heine, "Rabbi of Bacharach"

What you don't see with you eyes, don't witness with your mouth.
-Jewish Proverb
