So I was perusing the internet at work when I should have been working for motivational quotes to place around my office to keep me inspired, but I didn't have time to find any really good ones, so I was wondering... What is your favorite motivational quote?

Dare to Dream
(I have it tattooed) every time when I think "I would love to do that.. have this.. go there.. make this" and then I think something insecure like "Oh..It's me.. I cant" I look at my feet in despair or self-consciously and there it is on my foot staring back at me and I think... Of course I can do it, I deserve it, I should have my dreams.. because I AM ME!
I also have Fuerza (getting it done this week) It means strength.. because everybody is strong in their own way.0 -
Embrace whatever may come! ( and no I don't run around hugging dessert carts. haha)

When life gives you a dilemma, make dilemma-nade!0

It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees.
Emiliano Zapata
Mexican reformer & revolutionary (1877 - 1919)
So I was a small boy of 10 or 11 when I read this the first time. It bounced around in my head without meaning for a bit. That was about the time I started getting bullied unmercifully. So one day I was getting the crap beat out of me, but this time I fought back. I got the crap beat out of me anyway, but I understood. Even though I lost, I found my self-respect. And I wasn't the only one hurt that day. I have never taken a whipping without fighting back again. I do not bend to pressure. My mind and my will is my own.0 -

Spit or get out the pot?
No, don't really have a favorite.
I'm motivated by my awesome friends here...for real.
And I can always use more friends on MFP...and I'm usually a big encourager. Just one of those days today.

"Hey. If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here...with a big ribbon on his head! And I want to look him straight in the eye, and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, ****less, hopeless, heartless, fat-*kitten*, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey **** he is!
Hallelujah!
Holy ****!

Haha the version I know is a lot more vulgar than that! I agree with MFP friends. I'm constantly adding new friends to encourage and get motivation from. Some of the stories here are amazing and inspiring! I love my MFP friends!0 -
