Inspirational Quotes
 
So today I came across a few really inspirational quotes. So I thought I'd share them with everyone and see if anyone has any more good ones!

The quote I saw was "A year from now you'll have wished you started today."

Another one I saw once was "The number 1 reason why people give up so fast is because they tend to look at how far they still have to go instead of how far they have gotten."

Feel free to share what quotes have been helping you!!

I have one on my computer that says "dripping water eats through stone" and it's a reference to patience and perseverance

Love the quotes!! Esp. "The number 1 reason why people give up so fast is because they tend to look at how far they still have to go instead of how far they have gotten." Great thread!

Ah, the quote I like is down in my siggy. The one about the direction you are heading, not about spelling! LOL! :)

Mary Anne Radmacher

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
Thomas A. Edison

You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.

I always love the one I see about choosing your hard in signatures around here. Something along the lines of "Being fat is hard. Losing weight is hard. Choose your hard."

I don't think this one qualifies as inspirational, but it makes me smile every time: “The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking places.” ~Unknown

I love the one about the tempting parking spaces....I actually have it as part of my signature :)

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself; do not go out and look to duplicate a successful personality.

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds; your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be
Patanjali, Yoga teachings

In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.
Alice Walker


If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it.
If you don't ask, the answer is always no.
If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.
Nora Roberts

Purposefully
Embracing
All
Circumstances
Everyday


;)...and one of my favorites:

Under certain circumstances,
profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.
