Quotables- Period 1

Write down a quote that inspires you.  Write down the quote and who said it.  Then, explain why this quote inspires you.  What in your past, present or future makes this quote have such an impact.  

You may include more than one quote, but you must explain each separately.  If you cannot think of any quotes, you can go to http://www.quoteland.com/.  They have tons of great quotes.

Remember: FOUR or more sentences.  Use correct grammar!  PUT QUOTE MARKS AROUND THE QUOTE!

THE QUOTE IS NOT PART OF THE FOUR SENTENCES!!!!!!

My example: "That which does not kill us makes us stronger."- Friedrich Nietzsche

I love this quote because it reflects strength and resilience.  In my past I have been through abuse, violence, poverty and loneliness, but I have emerged strong, healthy and well-adjusted.  This quote reminds me that hardship is meant to strengthen the will of people and not break them.  When I feel like life is getting to be too hard, I reflect back on this quote and I feel more empowered.
