This is the most inspirational quote I have ever read.

"Don't settle for second place when you think that's all there is. If someone is making you their second place, they're not worth your first place."
Written in 2010 by Taylor Lynn B., Age 16 --- Georgia
I wrote this because almost every girl has settled for second place at least once while liking a guy, and truth is, if they are just settling for you for the time being and making you their second place, then they sure aren't worth your first place.
"All we are is a result of what we have thought. If a man thinks or acts with a negative thought, pain follows him. If a man thinks or acts in a positive thought, happiness follows him like a shadow that never leaves."
Buddha --- Submitted by Zack C., Age 17 --- Utah
This is probably my favorite quote in the world. The love of my life told me it.
"Don't base your decisions on the advice of people who don't have to live with the consequences."
Written in 2010 by Coral C., Age 16 --- Nevada
I had a really tough decision and I had some people who were trying to tell me to do the opposite of what I felt was right. Eventually I went with the choice that was best for me and now I am very happy and grateful I made the choice I did.

"Even in the quiet of the days, someone is there with you. He is looking down with arms wide open saying you can always come back to me."
Author Unknown --- Submitted by Brooke R., Age 14 --- Pennsylvania
I wrote this because no matter what you go through in life, you can always run back to god with all things. He will always accept you the way you are because he can see through our faultsÂ… unlike other people you meet in your life. He will NEVER let you down ; run to him he is calling your name!

"Never give up unless your heart fails."

In life, we have a tendency to feel like giving up and I encourage you all to continue doing what you have been doing. Stay motivated all the way until your heart can't go any more.
"Every thing is easy... when you are busy. Nothing is easy... when you are lazy."
Swami Vivekananda --- Submitted by Vaishnavi J., Age 17 --- India
"When I can't speak, I write. I write to get my feelings on paper. I write hoping to encourage somebody, somewhere one day. I write when nobody will listen. I write to let my heart speak to me and possibly others. If nothing else, I write so I can grow. Grow into who I want to be. Grow into somebody worthwhile and worth listening to - when my words will be listened to rather than read."

"There's a difference between wanting boyfriend and needing one."
Author Unknown --- Submitted by Christy L., Age 14 --- Florida
Now I know what's better; most teens think they should have a boyfriend but they actually don't need one. I mean you got parents that feed you, dress you, give you everything. What else do you need? I think it's better that teens wait till they're old enough to know what real love is.
