A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.
Francis Bacon
Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is.
Vince Lombardi
Failures do what is tension relieving,
while winners do what is goal achieving.
Dennis Waitley
(as quoted in Brian Tracy's book, Eat That Frog)
A man should have any number of little aims about which he should be conscious and for which he should have names, but he should have neither name for, nor consciousness concerning, the main aim of his life.
Samuel Butler
Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement.
Brian Tracy, Eat that Frog

Man, I missed this thread back when H.C. started it...
A belated thanks to H.C.!
I love inspirational quotes, man.
My favorite is still in WPruitt's profile:
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt
And then a simple, yet profound one is at the bottom of my profile:
"Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever......ever give up" - Winston Churchill
-
Both damn good quotes. My favorite from Churchill was when he addressed a joint session of congress .... "Has my father been American and my mother British, instead of the other way around, I would be here of my own accords".

i got one for pig pen:
"COWBOY UP, YA PUSSY"

To fall is not sin, the sin is to not get back up.
