Almost every famous person at least once in their life said something that was remembered by the society, and considered meaningful, important or just funny. Those quotations can be mentioned in various situations. Often they are used in speeches or in a humorous way. In order to find some of them grub around.

Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain ideas that every man is bound to be a critic for life.
Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, and to work, and to play and to look up at the stars.
Self is the only prison that can bind the soul.
Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, and to work, and to play, and to look up at the stars and sun.
Some succeed because they are destined to, but most succeed because they are determined to.
Time is: Too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear.
Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
