    "I may not be able to change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to reach my destination." Jimmy Dean

    I have this tattooed across the top of my back and it is also my quote on my MFP account, to me it describes my weight loss journey.

    I have a few on my "about me" page, but my altime favorite has always been:

    Be like a duck, calm on the surface, but paddling like the ****ens underneath. ~Michael Caine

    "If you're tired of starting over- stop giving up! "
    And...
    "Don't look back- you're not headed that way!"
    And...
    "I will persist until I succeed!"

    If it is important to YOU, YOU will find a way, if not, YOU will find an excuse

    We must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy.

    You're not hungry, you're bored. Drink some water and learn the difference.

    Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right.

    Six months from now you will have wish you would have started today.

    If you're sick of starting over stop quitting.

    Everyday may not be good, but there is something good in everyday.

    We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong, the amount of work is the same.

    from Henry Rollins...

    The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total *kitten*. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.

    Your desire to change must be greater than your desire to stay the same.

    Then out spake brave Horatius,
    The Captain of the Gate:
    ``To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh soon or late.
    And how can man die better
    Than facing fearful odds,
    For the ashes of his fathers,
    And the temples of his gods

    If we all threw our problems into a pile and saw everyone else's we'd grab ours back.

    Seen in an ad. Great posts by the way!

    As someone said earlier in the thread, this is from Hillel. It's always been one of my favorites.

    The full quote is "If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am only for myself, what am I? If not now, when? "
