Recently, I browsed through Drops of Wisdom, a collection of wonderful inspiring quotes (definitely worth a visit). Here is a few we liked among many others:

Its about You, Your Lord and the Grave – nothing else matters. [Shaykh Nuh Keller]
_____________________________
Sometimes in order to help He makes us cry
Happy the eye that sheds tears for His sake
Fortunate the heart that burns for His sake
Laughter always follow tears
Blessed are those who understand
Life blossoms wherever water flows
Where tears are shed divine mercy is shown
- Rumi

al-Imâm ash-Shâfi'î said to one of his students: "Do not speak about things that do not concern you, for indeed, every time that you speak a word, it takes control of you and you do not have control of it!"

"…It is unimaginably different, and unimaginable, eternal bliss. Worry about getting there: then, you'll have no worries…" [Shaykh Faraz Rabbani (may Allah increase him) giving a description of happiness in Jannah in a QnA on SunniPath]

Heres a beautiful story that Mawlana Ar-Rumi tells :
Once a man was making duaa and he was doing ill-hah, like begging Allah. A
cynic passed by and he said to him, "how long have you been asking?"
The man replied, "for many many years."
"have you recieved an answer yet?"
The man replied, "no."
"Then why are you still asking?"
Then Rumi said, the man fell into a confused sleep-because the cynic had put
shak (doubt) in his heart. Then the man said in his sleep he had seen
Al-Khidr, and Al-Khidr said, "why did you leave your supplication?"
he said, "because i realized i had been doing it all these years and i never
got the answer."
and Al-Khidr said, "dont you realize? the supplication was the answer."
