Thread for inspiring sayings

  • I love reading the inspirational messages that people post as part of their signature and would love to see them collected in one thread. There are days when just reading a few of them give me the "boost" I need for the day.

    So...how about just posting your favorite inspirational sayings here? Serious, humorous, whatever!

    I'll start:

    We were born with two ends: one to sit on and one to think with.

    Success depends on which one you use:

    Heads, you win; tails, you lose.
  • You see things; and you say "Why?" But I dream things that never were; and I say "Why not?"

    I have this one on my daily plate.
  • I've always liked this very popular Eleanor Roosevelt quote:

    You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
  • Someone here has this one in their signature:

    "Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it's the courage to continue that counts" (Winston Churchill)
  • I like this one about using your gluteus muscles to push you back up while doing lunges at the gym:

    "If you don't squeeze it, no one else will!"
  • "It is never too late to be what might have been." George Eliot
  • I love inspirational quotes, too. Thanks for starting this.
