Know any?

I'll start -

“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.”– Hellen Keller

I love this quote, and live by learning from it time and time again.

:flowerforyou: If you know any quotes, sayings or even just something inspirational you would like to share... please do :heart:

    ‎"Don't blame anyone or anything for your situation or problems. When you do that you are saying that you are powerless over your own life - which is utter crap. An empowering step to reclaiming your life is taking responsibility. Although life may deal you some bad hands, evaluating the choices you make in response to those hardships is critical in affecting an outcome that is more favorable to you." ~ Jillian Michaels

    It's been posted on my computer for 20 years to remind me I'm not perfect but mostly what I accomplish is probably good. :happy:

    This is your world. Shape it or someone else will.(Gary Lew)

    Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. (Mark Twain)

    Be not just good. Be good for something (HD Thoreau)

    A positive attitude may not solve all of your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort (anonymous.)

    There is a reason that we have two ears, two eyes, but only one mouth (Hopi proverb)

    Every day, try to have compassion for five kinds of people:
    * someone to whom you are grateful
    * a loved one or friend
    * a neutral person
    * someone who is difficult for you; and
    * yourself (Rick Hanson in "Buddha's Brain")

    The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!-Rocky Balboa

    When you're down to nothing God is up to something....

    If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it!

    and something less theological....

    Never argue with idiots, they drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience!

    The weight on your body is nothing compared to the weight on your heart.....Let it go...Be free to be the thin, healthy, happy you.- Marianne Williamson

    "The reward for a thing well done is to have done it!" ~Unknown

    I love this one, as a teacher. I get tired of students doing half-assed work. To me, what's the use of trying if you aren't going to do your best? There's no reward for mediocracy!
