Give me your favourite quotes

I have been using a great little Wordpress plug-in called ‘Quotes Collection‘ on this blog - it’s great for grabbing those quotes you see popping up over the web and adding them to your blog. It is my favourite aspect of my own blog actually - I like being inspired, challenged or reminded of important concepts and values by great thinkers.
You can get a sample of them by clicking on ‘Next Quote’ over there on the left- it doesn’t need to reload the page due to some javascript trickery (and you should see a non-javascript degraded version if you you don’t have js turned on).
Anyway - I want your quotes! What is your favourite quote? What makes a good quote?
If you have a favourite quote that covers anything in the category/tag cloud - please post them here and I will add them to my quotes collection… and others can grab them too.

Here’s one I saw today: “Whatever one man is capable of conceiving, other men will be able to achieve” - Jules Verne

Hey Bob! Thanks very much for that one!!
I have often thought about that (particularly with regards to science fiction) - never knew that Jules ‘immortalised’ the concept
I will add that one…
