re: What's your favorite quote?

A poster, whom I cannot remember, has a quote from his father. I really enjoyed it, so much that I'm going to tell it to my children once the time is right.

"Literally millions of people have done what you're trying to do, and you're better than most of them."

I think his father said it to him before he left for boot camp. I love it because you can say it to your child before college, graduate school, anything.
