    This one for me

    Stay away from people who belittle your ambitions, small people always do that, but the truly great make you feel that you too can achieve greatness.

    Says to me to follow your dreams, don't listen to the nay sayers & surround yourself with people who can help when you falter.

    here's a few....

    "When in doubt, don't." - Benjamin Franklin

    "To follow by faith alone is to follow blindly." - Benjamin Franklin. Again.

    "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin. Again. Again.

    "In war, truth is the first casualty." - Aeschylus

    "In times of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a revolutionary act." - George Orwell

    "All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting." - George Orwell

    and who could forget...

    "I wanted to watch Roger Moore necking with Fiona Fullerton, but instead I have to watch a giant Michael Bolton look-a-like in a tight vest throwing an oven over bails of hay!' "

    The one in my signature

    It's from Marcus Aurelius - Meditations. Although it's more aspirational than inspirational.

    " Is he any good as a doctor?"

    The late King Hussein of Jordan to the British Ambassador in Amman at a reception for the then British Foreign Secretary, Dr. David Owen.
    It means to me that Government Ministries (and now Banks) are run by people best qualified in doing something else.

    That second quote from George Orwell

    Could that not be linked to people complaining about the BNP getting seats when they themselves never actually voted?
