I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship. ~Louisa May Alcott
Always act like you're wearing an invisible crown. ~ Author Unknown
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. ~Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles," 1992 (commonly misattributed to Nelson Mandela, 1994 inauguration speech)

"Leave the gun, take the cannoli".
Okay, just kidding - although it is one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite movies. :) Here is the real quote I want to leave here:
"It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be better than it was."
Another Pooh quote...

“If the person you are talking to doesn’t appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.”
And from American Beauty:
“It's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my life...”
For there is beauty in everything, and he is truly the wise man who endeavours to find this celestial light amidst the darkness of the mundane world.
"Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!"
—Professor Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by JK Rowling

"thou art God/dess" no idea but I hear it a fair ammount. and then this chant when I need to feel grounded yet empowered "earth my body, water my blood, air my breath, and fire my spirit." heard in a song by gaia's consort.
