A couple of mine:

"Whether you think you can or think you can't - you are right." - Henry Ford

"Today I will do what others won't, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can't." - Jerry Rice

"Someone once told me the definition of Hell: The last day you have on earth, the person you became will meet the person you could have become.” - Anonymous

“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.” - Marianne Williamson

"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick *kitten*...and I'm all out of bubblegum." - Roddy Piper, They Live

    Probably my all time favorite!!

    My personal trainer (when I could afford him always asked "How bad do you want ti?" It's now my motto.

    "Objects in shirt are stronger than they appear." - T-shirt

    "Live so that what comes to you as seed goes on as blossom, and that which comes to you as blossom goes on as fruit."

    "I am someone who is looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love." --- Carrie Bradshaw

    “It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for something you are not.” --- Andre Gide

    "I must not fear.
    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
    Only I will remain."
    --- Dune

    Love all of these !

    If you want to succeed in the world must make your own opportunities as you go on. The man who waits for some seventh wave to toss him on dry land will find that the seventh wave is a long time a coming. You can commit no greater folly than to sit by the roadside until some one comes along and invites you to ride with him to wealth or influence.
    John B. Gough

    and

    It's time to fight back

    Half of the failures in life come from pulling one's horse when he is leaping.
    Thomas Hood

    The fact is, that to do anything in the world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can.
    Robert Cushing

    Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still.
    Chinese Proverb

    If we all did the things we are capable of,
    we would astound ourselves.
    Thomas Edison

    "The Iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found. There is
    no better way to fight weakness than with strength. Once the mind and
    body have been awakened to their true potential, it’s impossible to turn
    back." - Henry Rollins

    "Nothing tastes as good as fit feels" - Unknown

    "Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever. That surrender, even the smallest act of giving up, stays with me. So when I feel like quitting, I ask myself, which would I rather live with?" - Lance Armstrong

    "Do or do not. There is no try." - Yoda

    "Trying is the first step to failure." - Homer Simpson

    “It would be good if some of you people learned that comfort and ease are not often associated with progress and accomplishment in any endeavor.” - Mark Rippetoe

    "You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.' - 
Eleanor Roosevelt

    "The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you’re a god or a total *kitten*. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds." - Henry Rollins
