 The three most important to me are:
  1.  "Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm" - Winston Churchill
    This is one of my favorite quotes because it shows the reader that you should try not to be negative about the things that have happened to you. This is beneficial to life because there are multiple events one will go through in life and all of them can knock people off the way to their dreams. This quote gives advice to the reader that even if you fail at what you are trying to, you should ignore it and keeping trying to reach your goal. It tells me that I need to keep the end goal in mind and use that to fuel my excitement so I can achieve what I want. It's helpful because when you fail at something many times you get into this mind set that even if you try as hard as you can it won't work. This quote helps defeat that mind set by saying get out of that mind set and you will get what you want.
  2.  "Venture outside your comfort zone. The rewards are worth it." - Rapunzel, Tangled
    I particularly like this quote because it's very important for people to learn in order to achieve their ultimate goal. Your comfort zone is hard to get out of. It's safe and you recognizable but as soon as you get outside of it the world becomes scary. This quote sheds light on why you should get out of your safe place. You can succeed when you're not hiding. When I'm in a classroom and I have to present something, my seat becomes my safety zone. It's hiding me from going up in front of the class and maybe making an utter fool of myself. If I go up and ignore my safety zone instead of being called up by the teacher and having every eye turn to your face, then I immediately will have  earned my reward by gaining the self confidence I need.
  3.  "Short cuts make long delays." - J. R. R. Tolkien
    This quote I believe is very important in order to succeed in life because it is saying to not take the easy route. For example, if someone decided to cheat off someone elses test, that would be considered a short cut. Now that person would have to deal with the long route because when the teacher finds out, they have to deal with the consequences and make their journey even longer to getting a good grade. This quote sums up a secret to success by warning the reader to not take a short cut in order to have to deal with the consequences later.
