Inspirational quotes....post your favorite
ok so after a week or so of negativity I decided to give this thread a shot...let see if it goes anywhere  ....I have always strived to be as self motivated as possible and found having a book of quotes/sayings that are important to me to referance can really inspire me to push through those tough times....so I'll start it off and hopefully you guys and girls can add something along the way that brought you inspiration or gave you that final push to achieve your goals.
"If you always do what you've always done....you'll always get what you've always got"
"don't let your fear decide your fate"
"today is the first day of the rest of your life"
"carpe diem-sieze the day"

Always drink up stream from the herd.
You can't fix stupid.
To fully appreciate your job; imagine yourself with out it.

We don't hold open the door for a woman just because she is a woman -- we hold it open because we can and because it is the kind thing to do. We also hold the door open for men -- because we can and because it is the kind thing to do."
In America they call it survivor, in Canada we call it camping
Remember, happiness doesn't depend on who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think."

Seems quite a few here have missed your point ^ (main idea) ... a lot of the quotes posted here are about as 'inspirational' as a dead frog.

It's like wiping your arse with a hoola hoop!
Pain heals, chicks dig scares, glory lasts forever.
You miss 100% of the shots you never take.
Some do, some don't, some will, some won't. Which one are you?
Chit or get off of the pot!
I'm a realist, none of this, is the glass half full or half empty stuff, I want to know where the other half of the glasses contents went.

If a man does not keep pace with his
companions, perhaps it is because he
hears a different drummer.
Let him step to the music
which he hears, however
measured or far away.

Old Boss of mine used to tell all the whiners at work
" I dont want to hear about the labour pain, just give me the baby"
Used it many times myself at work.
Never brave enough to use it on the wife.
