Paul Walker is one of those actors whose tragic death in 2013 left a dent in our hearts. The Fast and the Furious actor starred in the first seven editions of the film series and was loved by the audiences and even referred by his popular character Brian's name by fans. September 12 marks the 46th birth anniversary of Walker and fans make sure to celebrate this day by paying a special tribute to the star. Fast and Furious Star Vin Diesel Posts a Picture with Late Paul Walker, Says He Is ‘Grateful for the Priceless Memories’.

Tragically the actor died in a car crash. Ironically, one of his famous quotes also describes his last ride as he says, "If one day speed kills me, don't cry. Because I was smiling." Walker has been one celebrity who has always spoken from the heart and hence we honour him on this special day by looking at some of his best quotes that will inspire everyone.
