"true happiness is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose."

"you gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. you are able to say to yourself, 'i have lived through this horror. i can take the next thing that comes along.' you must do the thing you think you cannot do."

I have always loved a quote from the movie "The Edge" with Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin. They need to kill this huge grizzly bear that keeps chasing them, Alec is whining that there's no way they can do it. So Anthony says, "What one man can do, another can do". That comes to me whenever I read the awesomely inspiring success stories here!

Thanks so much for posting this! You have no idea it means on a day like today. Thanks.

This quote is very important to me, but probably won't resonate to most others. Thought I'd post it anyway:

"We treat running in the modern world the same way we treat childbirth—it’s going to hurt, and requires special exercises and equipment, and the best you can hope for is to get it over with quickly with minimal damage."

-Christopher McDougall (barefoot running advocate)
