My goodness, there are many quotes that have made an impression on me. Here's three.
Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.” “If it is not right, do not do it, if it is not true, do not say it.
Marcus Aurelius from Meditations
Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.
Sun Tzu from The Art of War
Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night
Edgar Allan Poe from Eleonara

“Hers was not a story of darkness.” - Kingdom of Ash, Sarah J Maas

I love this quote because it truly encapsulates how we as people can choose our own journey and our own story. No matter what happens, we can look at the worst things and dwell on them or we can find the positives and overcome our challenges to get the life that we want.

My favorite quote for the last 30 years has been:
"A ship in port is safe; but that is not what ships are built for. Sail out to sea and do new things." --Grace Hopper

In making sure I had the wording right, I found a few others of hers I really like. She, I think, would have been a very interesting person to have a conversation with...

“Humans are allergic to change. They love to say, 'We've always done it this way.' I try to fight that. That's why I have a clock on my wall that runs counter-clockwise.” --Grace Hopper

“Don't try to manage people; you manage things; you lead people.” --Grace Hopper

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover." - Mark Twain.
I love how this quote encourages us to embrace adventure and take risks.
