No surprise that this one is tied for 1st for inspiring me. It is tied with the Marianne Williamson quote of "Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but it is that we are powerful beyond measure" and the Hopi elders quote, "We are the ones we've been waiting for." These words give me the strength to forge ahead, especially in the most challenging circumstances.
