If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do help them. Help people anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway."

I'm not sure if this counts as a quote but I really enjoyed this part of Shane Koyczan's 'To This Day'. I must warn the full poem has quite a bit of talk on self-harm and depression, so listen to it at your own risk - its really beautiful; all of his work is!

"She was eight years old - our first day of grade three - when she got called ugly. We both got moved to the back of the class so we would stop get bombarded by spit balls, but the school halls were a battleground where we found ourselves outnumbered day after wretched day. We used to stay inside for recess because outside was worse; Outside we’d have to rehearse running away or learn to stay still like statues giving no clues that we were there. In grade five they taped a sign to her desk that read 'beware of dog'.

To this day, despite a loving husband, she doesn’t think she’s beautiful, because of a birthmark that takes up a little less than half of her face. Kids used to say 'She looks like a wrong answer that someone tried to erase but couldn’t quite get the job done' - and they’ll never understand that she’s raising two kids whose definition of beauty begins with the word 'mom' because they see her heart before they see her skin because she’s only ever always been amazing."
