Default Favorite Fitness or Inspirational quotes?

Sometimes reading the quotes on people's signatures really motivates me for the day. I wanted to know what everyone's favorite fitness or motivational quotes are that are helping them along the way. It can be from anything, books, tv, songs, someone else's signature, etc !

The pain of discipline is less than the pain of regret.

If you don't win, make the person ahead of you break the record.

I love that one, Midwife!

Can somebody remind me what's the correct version of the quote from 3FC? It as something like

Being fat is hard. Exercising is hard. Pick your hard.

Anyone remembers?

As a food addict, I find this quote sums up my relationship with food:

"Quod Me Nutrit Me Destruit."
What nourishes me also destroys me.
