Mine is from Shawshank, my favorite movie.

Hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.

That's the gist of it, anyway. Andy says it to Red. Damn, I love that movie. Share yours.

Ps, I love pet quotes!!!!

Songs are a great source too. If I wasn't on An iPad, I would say watch out. I can't copy and past with this thing. But I want to give props to Ben Folds for some lyrics that inspire me. When I look at my son, and I know that I am the Luckiest. Best song ever. And in a white sea of eyes I see one pair that I recognize, and I know that I am, I am, I'm the luckiest....

I love quotes too. I've always had a few written down in various places to inspire me, and now that I'm in recovery I'm writing down lots of them, as I read them on SR and other places, in my "recovery journal."
Here's a quick one.

Big fan of quotes here!

I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.
