Do you have a favourite quote you tell yourself when things seem to get bad?

When I feel down or just older than I am I tell myself

You are not old until Regrets take the place of dreams. another one I like is

Take control of your health, before your health takes control of you.

I am still young enough and healthy enough to to take control of my health. I would hate to wake up one day and wonder why I didn't do this or that.

    The one quote that runs thru my mind alot here lately is "what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger". I really hope that's true, cause right now I'm trying harder then I ever have!!

    A bend in the road is not the end of the road unless you fail to make the turn.

    A quote I raised my children with, "The more you do of what you are doing, the more you get of what you've got."

    In fact, that is my user name with a bit of a twist. My kids named our houseboat "The Moor-ya-do".

    When things get bad, I try to figure out why and do something else--something different.

    The soccer team I coached put this on the back of their warm shirts last year:

    "I gave all I had today. What I held back I lost forever."

    Not really a quote but a poem...I love it!

    "Don't Quit"

    When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
    When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
    When the funds are low and the debts are high,
    And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
    When care is pressing you down a bit,
    Rest! if you must; but don't you quit.

    Life is queer with its twists and turns,
    As everyone of us sometimes learns,
    And many a failure turns about
    When he might have won had he stuck it out;
    Don't give up, though the pace seems slow;
    You might succeed with another blow.

    Often the goal is nearer than
    It seems to a faint and faltering man,
    Often the struggler has given up
    When he might have captured the victor's cup.
    And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
    How close he was to the golden crown.

    Success is failure turned inside out;
    The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
    And you never can tell how close you are,
    It may be near when it seems afar;
    So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit;
    It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

    One my husbands boss told him and I have always remembered is "sometimes you are the pigeon (sp) and sometime you are statue"
