    "It's the law of equivalent exchange". You have to give something up to get something back. You can't gain anything without first sacrificing something. (I've become quite the Fullmetal Alchemist nut lately. But this fits well.)

    "There's no such thing as a painless lesson. They just don't exist. Sacrifices are nesessary. You can't gain anything without losing something first. Although, of you can endure that pain, and walk away from it, you'll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle. Yeah. A heart made Fullmetal. "

    It comes down to a simple question: what do you want out of life, and what are you willing to do to get it?

    I don't know if this is in here, however it is the inspirational speech Rocky Balboa gave to his son in the final movie of the Rocky series, "Balboa." To preface, Rocky's son is mad at him for wanting to fight the current reigning heavy weight champion. He feels he will be mocked by Rocky choosing to fight .....

    "I'd hold you up to say to your mother, "This kid's gonna be the best kid in the world. This kid's gonna be somebody better than anybody I ever knew." And you grew up good and wonderful. It was great just watching you, every day was like a privilege.

    Then the time come for you to be your own man and take on the world, and you did. But somewhere along the line, you changed. You stopped being you. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you, "You're no good." And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow.

    Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.

    You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!

    Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and THAT AIN'T YOU! YOU'RE BETTER THAN THAT!

    I'm always gonna love you no matter what. No matter what happens, you're my son and you're my blood. You're the best thing in my life. BUT UNTIL YOU START BELIEVING IN YOURSELF, YOU AIN'T GONNA HAVE A LIFE."

    Rocky Balboa

    A few comments my father would say:

    "You are who people think you are. You are who YOU think you are more."

    "Aim for the stars, however keep your goals realistic. That way you will never know the pain of failing to reach the stars."

    Love the thread. Here are some that have stuck with me over the years:

    We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.
    - Aristotle

    What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.
    - Goethe

    The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.

    Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
    Mahatma Gandhi

    I hate them while she (my aerobics instructor) is saying them but they are my favorite. Mind over body. NOBODY is going to do it for you.

    Being day one of my new life, this has stuck with me and helped push me to start over once again.
