there are a heap of quotes in Fight Club that are good:
"I found freedom. Losing all hope was freedom."
"If you wake up at a different time and in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?"
"On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero."
"We are defined by the choices we make"
"No fear. No distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide."
"First, you have to know that someday,you are going to die. Until you know that, you will be useless"
"its only after we have lost everything, that we are free to do anything"
and again. the one in my sig by the butterfly effect.
but like you said, "Pin it ya fairy!" ... great motivator that one!

Possibly the most frequently mis-used and taken out of context quote ever.
It relates in NO WAY to pride or self worth.
It actually relates to revolution, and was used, perhaps most famously by Dolores Ibarruri, also known as La Pasionaria during the Spanish civil war. Her name is where the Midnight Oil song gets the "passion" part. Or so I'm led to believe.
The origin of the quote is attributed to Emiliano Zapata, the Mexican revolutionary sometime prior to his death in 1919, or a lesser known Mexican Revolutionary, Práxedis G. Guerrero, who was also killed in 1910.
In any case, it is better to live on your feet.

"If you can dream it, you can do it" ~ Walt Disney
"Your goals can never be to high, aim for the moon, even if you miss you land among the stars" ~ W Clement Stone (ye I know it's corny)
"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning." ~ Albert Einstein
"He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed." ~ Albert Einstein

My year 12 physics teacher told me heaps of Einstein quotes, he loved his work and is following in his footsteps (literally, he has mathematically proven the theory of relativity in two different ways)
A good light hearted quote, maybe not inspirational

And a combination of quotes I used: "The past is gone. Learn from it but don't try to change it. The future's unknown, make the most of it and more. The present never actually happens, its just a stream of right nows. So don't waste them.__________(feel free to add humourous statement along the lines of - so let's get outta here - if the situation is appropriate)".
