What a great thread, thanks for all the great quotes. I have tons etched in my head but these ones are from a book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens" when I was in high school. Finally read it a while back and I really liked these quotes:

"The real tragedy is the tragedy of the man who never in his life braces himself for his one supreme effort-he never stretches to his full capacity, never stands up to his full stature." ~ Arnold Bennett

"If you could envision the type of person God intended you to be, you would rise up and never be the same again" ~ Someone

and

"When I was young and free and my
imagination had no limits, I dreamed of
changing the world;

As I grew older and wiser I realized the
world would not change.

And I decided to shorten my sights
somewhat and change only my country.
But it too seemed immovable.

As I entered my twilight years, in one last
desperate attempt, I sought to change
only my family, those closest to me, but
alas they would have none of it.

And now here I lie on my death bed and
realize (perhaps for the first time) that if
only I'd changed myself first, then by
example I may have influenced my
family and with their encouragement
and support I may have bettered
my country, and who knows I may have
changed the world." ~ Anglican bishop

too each their own but It's quotes like those that motivate me. Again great thread, I hope to actually one day get through the entire thing.

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle: when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.

There will come times in your life when you feel that everything is going wrong. Everything you touch is turning to **** and you're failing.

If you believe that there is nothing you can do to turn this around...then you have failed even more so.

It is within all of us to change ourselves. You and you alone are the master of your destiny...unless you let someone else be said master.

Sometimes you'll hear people say you have to work smarter not harder.

Bull****...you have to work smarter AND harder. You have to study and act accordingly. And you have do things the right way...not the easy way.

Its time to realise that the bar is in your hands...not mine.
Its time to know that hard work will turn your failures into successes.
Its time to know that every single second you spend doing what others don't or won't so that you can have what others haven't...is the best investment you can make.
Its time to know that a success is not being knocked down...a success is picking yourself up.
Its time to know you will never truly succeed in life if you are not prepared to lay everything on the line.
Its time to know that defeat is a temporary condition, it's giving up that makes it permanent.

and lastly.

Its time for you to realise that I did not come here to compete with you. That there is only one person here that can defeat me...and it is none of you.

Idk if this was posted before, but if this doesn't motivate you, nothing can.

[cribec0]

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others
