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"

I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying that I approved of it.
Mark Twain
The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.
Douglas Adams

A couple of my favourites,

I always liked the one in my sig line:

If you seek peace, prepare for war.

If you find yourself in a hole; then stop digging.
Always drink up stream from the herd.
You can't fix stupid.
To fully appreciate your job; imagine yourself with out it.
Life is like baseball; It is the number times you reach home safely, that counts.

Mark Twain:
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did so. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
