There are SO many. Just a few I've seen recently:
"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.â€
Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.â€
"In order to be big, you have to think big. If you think small, you're going to be small."
And I like this, from a Genesis song:
"Better start doing it right..."
Sometimes I forget why I'm a Nurse and what's really in my heart. Sometimes I'm just too busy I don't know where to start. Then someone holds my hand and greets me with a smile. They ask if I could stay awhile. If I can calm a sorrows heart just because I'm there. Then I'm reminded why I'm a Nurse. It's all because I care. -unknown

A Bible verse, but still my favorite, I have it on the wall in my health office.
"A cheerful heart is good medicine..." (Proverbs 17:22)
