Or just a quote you like for a certain situation or day.
This was on our intranet this morning. I hadn't seen it before, but it was particularly apt on a boring grey Monday with autumn rain coming down in buckets:
“Summer ends, and Autumn comes, and he who would have it otherwise would have high tide always and a full moon every night”

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall."
--Confucius"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
