TheOneAndOnly wrote:"Fearless is not the absence of fear. It is not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. Fearless is falling madly in love again even though you've been hurt before. Fearless is walking into your freshman year at fifteen. Fearless is getting back up and fighting for what you want, over and over again...even though every time you've tried before, you've lost. It's Fearless to have faith that someday things will change. Fearless is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you can't breathe without them. I think it's Fearless to fall in love with your best friend, even though he's in love with someone else. And when someone appologises to you enough times for things they'll never stop doing, I think it's Fearless to stop beleiving them. It's Fearless to say "you're not sorry", and walk away. I think loving someone despite what people think is Fearless. I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is Fearless. Letting go is Fearless. Then, moving on and being alright...that's Fearless too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charming and happily ever after. I think love is Fearless ." -Taylor Swift

I like this quote, along with:

"Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don't."
— Pete Seeger

"Snow and adolescence are the only problems that disappear if you ignore them long enough. "
— Earl Wilson

"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it. "
— Thomas Jefferson

"The flower that you hold in your hands was born today and already it is as old as you are."
— Antonio Porchia

"There is always a lot to be thankful for, if you take the time to look. For example, I'm sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt."
— Unattributed

"Sir, a man may be so much of everything, that he is nothing of anything. "
— Samuel Johnson

"When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it."

I do not know if I have a favorite per say, but I sure do have a lot that I like.

Camus:
“Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.”
“Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.”
“Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is.”
“There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for.”

Dr. Suess::
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
“And will you succeed? Yes you will indeed! (98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)”
“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”
“Oh, the thinks you can think!”

The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why. - Mark Twain

I saw The Equalizer with Denzel Washington recently, and this was inserted near the beginning of the film.

Also,

Dum spiramus, speramus. While we breathe, we hope. - Not sure who said it, if anybody said it.

Or something along those lines.
Like a stranger on a grate, or a skylark, or a taper, flying ever upward and knowing of love's satiety. Our dreams beyond the Sun and into the expanse of Night doth sound a quiet hymn.
