Inspriational Quotes

Ok, I'll bite!

How about a bit of Churchill? He's always good for a quote or two:

"If you are going to go through hell, keep going."

and

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."

- W. Churchill

Be wrong not to chuck a bit of Gandhi in there too:

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

- M. Gandhi

"You may shoot me with your words. You may cut me with your eyes. You may kill me with your hatefullness but like the air I will always rise".

I like the one from my profile: Bessie Braddock: “Sir, you are drunk.” Churchill: “Madam, you are ugly. In the morning, I shall be sober.”

I have a few but the first one I have no idea who said it (i pinched it from the forums a few days ago)

"The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullsh** story you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it "

and

“Sometimes people will hear you and be able to change their behavior, but often their behavior has more to do with their own need for approval than with your need for support. No matter what their response, you need to be firm and hold your ground. At the end of the day, your health is your responsibility.”

“Part of abandoning the all-or-nothing mentality is allowing yourself room for setbacks. We are bound to have lapses on the road to health and wellness, but it is critical that we learn how to handle small failures positively so that we can minimize their long-term destructive effects. One setback is one setback—it is not the end of the world, nor is it the end of your journey toward a better you.”

"when your friends tell you that you look awesome, drop the "I still have a few lbs to loose" cr*p. You've worked hard for what you have right now and deserve the compliment."

QFT

Also, to stay on topic:

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

- WE Henley

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin"

OMG I love this! I had never heard it before.

"When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food and the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks the fault lies in yourself." -Tecumseh

"While I don't believe that maps show you where you will go in your life, they do show you where you might go." -John Green

oH i LIKE THIS... AIN'T IT THE TRUTH.. ADD FRESHLY BAKED BREAD AND BUTTER TO THAT LIST... but skinny (well skinnier) puts a constant smile on my face. my new, improved energy level puts a smile on my face. although it's not 'inspirational' Martha Graham once said something to the effect of
"Center Stage is where I am." well, YEAH!
