I have a picture above my desk of Babe Ruth, with a quote of his that says: "Never let the fear of striking out get in your way."
I personally like Einstein quotes like:
"Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value."
"A person who never mad a mistake never tried anything new."
"The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it."
