I have noticed that a lot of people have an inspirational quote in their signature.

I read a great one today. I have always thought that the difference between success and failure is action and this sums it up!

"We are what we repeatedly do" - Aristotle

What inspirational quotes does everyone else have?

    Mine is in my ticker. Yes, it's a long one but it sure keeps me motivated and reminds me that the payoff is worth the struggle.

    Edit: Yep...it's long. While this isn't a quote it's this song that gets me through my workouts and long runs.

    "If Today Was Your Last Day" By: Nickelback

    My best friend gave me the best advice
    He said each day's a gift and not a given right
    Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
    And try to take the path less traveled by
    That first step you take is the longest stride

    If today was your last day
    And tomorrow was too late
    Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
    Would you live each moment like your last?
    Leave old pictures in the past
    Donate every dime you have?
    If today was your last day

    Against the grain should be a way of life
    What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
    Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
    So live like you'll never live it twice
    Don't take the free ride in your own life

    If today was your last day
    And tomorrow was too late
    Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
    Would you live each moment like your last?
    Leave old pictures in the past
    Donate every dime you have?
    Would you call old friends you never see?
    Reminisce old memories
    Would you forgive your enemies?
    Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
    Swear up and down to God above
    That you finally fall in love
    If today was your last day

    If today was your last day
    Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
    You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
    Regardless of who you are
    So do whatever it takes
    'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
    Let nothin' stand in your way
    Cause the hands of time are never on your side

    If today was your last day
    And tomorrow was too late
    Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

    Would you live each moment like your last?
    Leave old pictures in the past
    Donate every dime you have?
    Would you call old friends you never see?
    Reminisce old memories
    Would you forgive your enemies?
    Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
    Swear up and down to God above
    That you finally fall in love
    If today was your last day

    Not silly really. Some days I try to eat right and usually fail, some days I just get on with it!
