Red face 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!"

I love inspirational quotes, too. Thanks for starting this.

"A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety." --- Aesop, from The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse

"I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have." --- Thomas Jefferson

"Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right." --- Henry Ford

"Do, or do not. There is no 'try'." --- Yoda ('The Empire Strikes Back')

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." --- Thomas Alva Edison

"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." --- Albert Einstein
