    You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do. ― Eleanor Roosevelt

    It's just me against the world.

    It wouldn't be fair otherwise.

    One that I grew up with.

    One that's been on my MFP Profile for, IDK, 2-4 years >.<

    "Change hurts. It makes people insecure, confused, and angry. People want things to be the same as they've always been, because that makes life easier. But, if you're a leader, you can't let your people hang on to the past. " Richard Marcinko

    "A river cuts through a rock not because of its power but because of its persistence"

    I don't know who said it first, but I like it.

    You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great

    You cannot climb the ladder of success dressed in the costume of failure.

    The first step in solving a problem is to recognize that it does exist.

    The right quote can inspire people to change their ways.

    Remember that failure is an event, not a person.

    ~ All from Zig Ziglar

    "Your body isn't giving up, your head is." Repeat that to myself frequently at the gym.

    "I will not starve for this, but I will work hard for this. It may take longer doing it the healthy and right way, but it will last longer this way. It will be better. And I will be happy. Happy and beautiful."

    And just for fun, "Let them eat cake, as long as it fits their macros!" :laugh:

    A few of my faves:

    "Why do you need to be strong? So I can protect those who are weak." ~ I don't the origin but I remember Neil Kinnock saying it eons ago and it has stuck with me.

    "Tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today" ~ Malcolm X

    "It's out there...get up and take it!" ~ My Mum :smile:

    As seen elsewhere...


    The only worthwhile religion is fitness.

    If I worship at the temple of swift feet for thirty minutes a day, then I invariably become faster and more robust.
    If I worship at the temple of heavy movements for an hour a day, then I invariably become stronger and more powerful.
    If I worship at the temple of moderate consumption all day, then I invariably become leaner and healthier.
    If I worship at all three of these temples on a regular basis, my form becomes as beautiful as that of the gods.

    The gods that occupy these temples confer tangible and demonstrable benefits to those who pursue them.

    No other religion can claim this.
