What is your favourite quote and why?
I would like to begin here a compendium of those bits of wisdom humanity perceives to be most true or without exception.
It is not necessary to name who might be credited with saying your selection, as no such person can honestly claim to have been without some outside inspiration, which catalyzed their creativity and moved them to express their insight.
Much like what you are called here to do.
If you yourself have distilled some wisdom through reflection, please allow me to present you this moment to pass it on here for consideration or perhaps start your own string.
The purpose of all this is to provide a most efficient tool for correlating the most valid ideas about morality and what we perceive to be real or important across culture or socialization. I would then like to work with you to turn this soil and see what new things (ideas) might grow. Food for the soul.
You are encouraged to emulate the creative process here so: COPY, COMBINE and TRANSFORM! Help me correlate.
Please comment in a constructive way if you agree or not with anything posted here and explain why.

Paul Margiotis
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
— Lord Alfred Tennyson
I am big on quotes that echo the notion that we ought to always be looking to make progress, always looking to better ourselves and those around us. Even though we often encounter insurmountable obstacles, or what seem to be insurmountable when we are before them, we should approach life with forward intent. This idea is also captured here:
There is death in stagnation. There is life in movement.
— Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan
