Snagged from sorchasilver, because I was looking up quotations anyway - Go here. Keep refreshing until you've collected five quotes that really resonate with you, then post 'em to your journal.

"My theory is that if you look confident you can pull off anything - even if you have no clue what you're doing."
(Jessica Alba)

"Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others."
(Robert Louis Stevenson)

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
(Anaïs Nin)

"Trust yourself. Think for yourself. Act for yourself. Speak for yourself. Be yourself. Imitation is suicide."
(Marva Collins)

"When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion."
(Abraham Lincoln)
