Look into any source you want and find a quote from a smart person that you find very striking, profoundly true, or highly inspiring. Post the quote, spelled and punctuated exactly right, as a comment under today’s post.
"If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present." -Lao Tzu
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”-Albert Einstein
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." -Martin Luther King Jr
This quote isn't necessarily from a famous person, but from a movie I love called, "Phoebe in Wonderland". I do however consider it to be smart, striking, profoundly true, and all of those things you listed. "At a certain point in your life... probably when too much of it has gone by, you will see yourself for who you are, especially for everything that made you so different, from all the awful normals. And you will say to yourself, but i am this person. And in that statement, that correction, there will be a kind of love."
It's not exactly a traditional quote, but it still counts in my book. "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, an of a sound mind." II Timothy 1:7
We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies. -Martin Luther King, Jr.
