What's your favourite quote?

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
Winston Churchill

Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
Winston Churchill

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.
Winston Churchill

You cannot plough a field by turning it over in your mind.

    but that's not what ships are built for.

    For me:
    Not one climber on the way to the top of Everest ever stopped at the drive thru for breakfast.

    And for my kids:
    Before you were conceived I wanted you
    Before you were born I loved you
    Before you were here an hour I would die for you
    This is the miracle of love

    Another one:
    Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education.~Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

    What I tell myself every time I hit the gym...

    Dedicated, motivated, highspeed, hardcore!

    My prayer - God grant me the strength and wisdom I need to accomplish this task that I have set up before myself, so that I may be a better person for myself, for my family and for you.

    When I'm feeling like I'm about to quit... muscle failure is setting in or I cramp up... "You are weak! You will not amount to anything if you cannot press on past this! Push harder! Push harder! Don't quit, don't fail! You're stronger and better than this!" - It works every time too.

    When life knocks you down - do a BURPEE!

    Begin - the rest is easy.

    I am just striving to be more more than I have ever been.

    You can feel sore tomorrow or you can feel sorry tomorrow. You Choose.

    We are what we repeatedly do. Exellence than is not an act but a habit.

    Far from what I once was but not yet what I am going to be.

    Some people dream of success - while others wake up and work hard for it.

    Take pride in how far you have come & have faith in how far you can go.

    Hard work is a 2 way street. You get back exactly what you put in.

    At any given moment you have the power to say: This is not how the story is going to end.

    Nothing is impossible. The word itself says " i'm possible" - audrey hepburn

    Yestday you said tomorrow.

    First comes Wants,
    Then comes goals,
    followed by inspiration,
    Then comes setbacks,
    one step forward - half a step back.
    But with preserverance, blood, sweat & tears -
    WE CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING!

    I may not be the strongest,
    I may not be the fastest,
    But il be darned if I am not trying my hardest.

    Do something today that future you will thank you for.

    It doesn't matter what you did yesterday or what you could do tomorrow. It is all about the choices you make today. - Bob Harper

    Persistance: There is no giant step that does it. It's a lot of little steps.

    “I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.”
