This is the intro to 'Till I Collapse by Eminem (feat Nate Dog):

'Cause sometimes you feel tired,
feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.
But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
and just pull that sh*t out of you and get that motivation to not give up
and not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.


It always get's me going when I'm working out.  I have it placed so it plays about 1/2 way through my workout.

People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

I can't believe this whole time, I forgot my favorite movie.  Scarface.  "I only got two things in this world, my word and my balls.  And I don't break them for nobody."

Another great quote.

Another favorite of mine comes from FDR: 

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today, so let us move forward with strong and active faith.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Speech prepared for a Jefferson Day Dinner.  He was writing this at the time of his death.  The speech was never delivered.
"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

More often than not, it is typically the quitter himself and those otherwise stultified by mediocrity who suggest you abandon your lofty endeavors to join their constituency of the status quo.

I can not recall a single instance where someone who has dared much and achieved much has then turned round and suggested that others are not capable of the same.

                 The daring may not live forever.....but the cautious don't really live at all.

How about this one from Grandpa Simpson when he was giving advice to a young Homer on the pursuit of the lay-days:

"Homer, always go for the dented can".

Classic.


Agonizing over what cannot be is an insult to what is.
