“If you live cautiously, all your friends will call you wise, but you won’t move mountains.”

“Most people never get there. They're afraid or unwilling to demand enough of themselves and take the easy road, the path of least resistance. But struggling and suffering, as I now saw it, were the essence of a life worth living. If you're not pushing yourself beyond the comfort zone, if you're not constantly demanding more from yourself—expanding and learning as you go—you're choosing a numb existence. You're denying yourself an extraordinary trip.”

- Dean Karnazes

    My favorite right now, especially the last line:

    “Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. I am not remotely interested in just being good.” ~ Vince Lombardi

    When I read Vince Lombardi quotes I get goose bumps. thanks for posting...

    I love the Jimmy V quote from the Espy awards show before he died. "Don't give up. Don't ever give up." If you haven't seen his speech, by all means go to youtube right now and watch it.
