I just started writing quotes down and saving them in a notebook...Here are some of my favorites.

"What do we mean by patriotism in the context of our times? I venture to suggest that what we mean is a sense of national responsibility. . . a patriotism which is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion but the tranquil and steady dedication of a life time." -Adlai Stevenson

"Sometimes unprofessional things need to be said."-Anne Stephens (she isn't famous, but I do find her quote to be meaningful).

"The price of lawful public dissent must not be a dread of subjection to an unchecked surveillance power. Nor must the fear of unauthorized officials eaves dropping deter vigorous citizen dissent and discussion of Government action in private conversation. For private dissent, no less than open public discourse is essential to our free society."-Justice Lewis Powell (writing for the majority in United States v. United States District Court 407 U.S. 297 (1972)).

"If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed ; and in the next place oblige to control itself." -James Madison, Federalist Paper Number Fifty-One

"Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes." -Oscar Wilde

"Good judgment comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgment." -Rita Mae Brown

"Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming." -John Wooden

There is no emotion; there is peace.
There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.
There is no passion; there is serenity.
There is no death; there is the Force.

Jedi code

Peace is a lie
There is only passion
Through passion I gain strength
Through strength I gain power
Through power I gain victory
Through victory my chains are broken
The Force shall set me free
