Hi MP, So I am a big quote reader and love to get daily inspiration and motivation from reading quotes in the morning or thought the day. What are some of your favorite quotes?

Here are a couple of mine:

"Be the kind of women that makes other women want to be you"
"Do something today that your future will thank you for tomorrow"
"Fake it till you make it"

    There are No Excuses.
    Our priorities are shown by our actions.
    Try your best, always.
    Go all in or get all out.
    Dead last is better than did not finish, which always trumps did not start.
    Mind over matter.

    “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt
