"pain is weekness leaving the body. its not how much more you can take but how much more you can give. Just when you are ready to give up, your mind says push harder. you listen, sensing an inner strength that wasn't there before. Soon you discover you no longer feel the pain. now you are one of us"
US Marines

"All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you're not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly. AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES." - Nike0

I like this one. It kinda hits home for me. My dad is there and just loves to try to drag everyone down in the water with him. I just realized I quoted a quote of someone who quoted a quote.0 -
