"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." ~Jesus Christ

"The Iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found. There is no better way to fight weakness than with strength. Once the mind and body have been awakened to their true potential, it's impossible to turn back." ~Henry Rollins

"Do, or do not. There is no try." ~Yoda

"I have never met a truly strong person who didn't have self-respect. I think a lot of inwardly and outwardly directed contempt passes itself off as self-respect: the idea of raising yourself by stepping on someone's shoulders instead of doing it yourself. When I see guys working out for cosmetic reasons, I see vanity exposing them in the worst way, as cartoon characters, billboards for imbalance and insecurity. Strength reveals itself through character." ~Henry Rollins

"Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it don't make any sense, and just because you don't like it doesn't mean it ain't no good!" ~Mike Muir of Suicidal Tendencies

"Success breeds success." ~Pavel Tsatsouline

"As you think you shall become" ~Pook

"And if I offended you, Oh I'm sorry
But maybe you needed to be offended!" ~Mike Muir

"ALWAYS be willing to walk away." ~Pook

"I'm gonna breathe I'm gonna live-that's right-nothing's gonna stop me
I'm gonna shout I'm gonna scream-that's right-nothing's gonna stop me
I'm gonna run I'm gonna fly-that's right-nothing's gonna stop me
I'm gonna fight I'm gonna win-that's right-nothing's gonna stop me
Nothing's gonna stop me, nothing's gonna stop me now...
Cause the feeling's back and you gotta love the feeling" ~Mike Muir

"Everything of success is in how you think. Control your mind and you control your destiny." ~Pook

"I dug my hole too deep-I couldn't admit, I didn't know when to stop
But you can only dig your hole six feet until the dirt comes back on top
I've got a long way left to climb but I'll still look you straight in the eye
And I can honestly say I'll never quit-not even on the day I die" ~Mike Muir

"Face that what bothers you." ~Stockholder

"When you go into things in life knowing you will win, you radiate confidence." ~Drew

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." ~Michael Jordon

"Patience comes from confidence and is one of the five most important things in life, the rest of them I will let you know when I find out, have patience." ~Don Phenom

"What the hell's going on around here?
First off-let's take it from the start
Straight out-can't change what's in my heart
No one-can tear my beliefs apart, you can't bring me
You aint-never seen no one like me
Prevail-regardless what the cost might be
Power-flows inside of me, you can't bring me
Never-fall as long as I try
Refuse-to be part of your lie
Even-if it means I die, you can't bring me" ~Mike Muir

"You can't bring me down!
Who the hell you calling crazy?
You wouldn't know what crazy was if Charles Manson was eating Fruit Loops on your front porch!" ~Mike Muir

You'd better get ready to come in contact with the dominant ideology of the non-producer. At least 75% of the people you come in contact with would like to tax you, criticize you, assault you, and envy you because you are, or want to be, a success.

Great quote I live by, anyone know where it comes from?

"Dont think you are, know you are"
Morpheus to Neo - The Matrix

"Sometimes you feel tired, you feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you just wanna give up.

"F*ck It"
a quote to just make you forget about things and not linger on with problems. A quote that is used highly whenever you dont care and just cant take sh*t no more, and are ready to change things. I remember really being motivated by this quote when I was progressing from AFC to DJ.

People often fear what they don't understand.

Every minute is another chance to turn it all around. -Vanilla Sky

An amature practices untill he can do it right. A professional practices untill he CAN'T do it wrong.

If you are afraid to do it, just pretend you can. Make it look like you are confident. Imagine in your mind that you can do it. Fake it untill you make it. The human mind works that way. If you make yourself think you can do it, eventually you can. -Everwood (This isn't the exact quote but i think it still gives a good message)

One of the most important things in life is showing up. I'm amazed at your ability to show up. -Hardball

Even the smallest person can change the course of history. -Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

This next one is about finding love:
"I feel stronger and weaker at the same time, excited yet terrified, the thing is you don't know what you feel, all you know is what kind of man you want to be. -Spiderman

Here's another one of those quotes that make you want to jump up and go do something with your life. It's taken from one of my favourite TV shows, Babylon 5:

"So much has been lost, so much forgotten. So much pain, so much blood. And for what, I wonder. The past tempts us, the present confuses us, and the future frightens us. And our lives slip away, moment by moment, lost in that vast terrible inbetween. But there is still time to seize that one last fragile moment. To choose something better, to make a difference"

Quotes....

First off....some very good ones you all are throwing up here. I keep a list of quotes in a text file and have added alot today. THANKS !! My personal favorite book of quotes right now is "Striking Thoughts" by Bruce Lee. I highly recommend it to everyone.

And some other favorites of mine...excluding Shakespeares "doubts are traitors..." I see it's been mentioned.

"In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;......" (Henry V, III:1) -William Shakespeare

"Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em." (Twelfth Night, II:5) -William Shakespeare

"Whoever originated the cliche that money is the root of all evil knew hardly anything about the nature of evil and very little about human beings" - Eric Hoffer

"A 'No' uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble." - Mahatma Gandhi

"I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it."-Voltaire

"People with Fires in Their Bellies Tend to Make Their Own Luck."-Lee Iacocca

"Today is yesterday's Tomorrow" -unknown


"Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you." -William Arthur Ward

"It is not the critic who counts,
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled,
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 and comes short again and again;
who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions,
and spends himself in a worthy cause;
who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement;
and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly,
so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls
who know neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

"Never give in -- never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy." - Winston Churchill

" The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion
is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt
in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. "-Albert Einstein

"Knowing is half the battle..." _from G.I.Joe

"Just Do It!"

And being contented has none of the glamour of a fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.” -Mustafa Mond, Brave New World
