Your best inspirational & motivational quotes

I use quotes and sayings all the time, they seem to creep in from the strangest places, some take hold but most just pass me by at the speed of sound. Why do some connect and mean something while others are like a bad joke where you are left wondering and just don't get it? Some lift me up and send me on an inspired journey beyond my limits.
For me its all about timing and where I am at in my life at the time, sometimes certain quotes work while old trusted ones don't. I also find my quotes/self talk/sayings evolve with age & experience.

I invite all you fellow posters to share your inspirational & motivational quotes/self talk/sayings.

I will make a start first with a couple of my recent favourites;

1. Get up Get over it & get on with Steve
2. Rise & Rise again until Lambs become Lions

Neither are my quotes - but I love them

My current faces are:

be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting

She turned her can'ts to cans, and her dreams to plans


Both spotted the other night while Pinterest-ing for the first time, but they seem relevant to me right now (hence being my signature). but yeah, I get what you mean about some sticking and some not, I even have had some that I've heard and thought were a bit dumb, then heard again down the track and been astounded by them...

The distance between dreams and reality is discipline

'I didnt have time' is the adult equivalent of 'the dog ate my homework'

Shutup, Work Hard, Be Patient

A little lengthy...
Interest Vs Committment:
If you are interested in doing something then you will only do it when circumstances permit, if you are committed you accept no excuses only results

Yup, tough love from me tonight=D

I have a sign on my fridge from an ad I saw somewhere, which says "When is the last time you felt truly ALIVE"

That seems to get through to me somehow, as the answer is "I can't remember" ... but I want to change it.


Remove all the "warning" labels and give natural selection a chance.

I've just seen Jaspina's signature, and I think it's wonderful :)

Pain is temporary, quitting is forever - Lance Armstrong

I generally tend to like quotes that are a bit like a kick in the butt :) Like " Put on your big girl panties and deal with it!" or if I am being particularly whingy "Suck it up, princess!" :)

And a great believer in the wonderful Ms Monroe:

“We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets.”

And lastly, my personal favourite of hers:

“We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle.”

Think this was originally by Nads, but I'm trying to live by it, at the moment:

"It's not the one big decision to lose weight that is the most important one - It's every little decision you make during the day, each and every day!"

I also like another one that someone has on here, which goes something like:

"If nothing changes .... nothing changes" Simple, but very true!

It takes 4 weeks to notice your body changing,8 weeks for your friends, and 12 weeks for the rest of the world. Give it 12 weeks, don’t quit.
If its important to you, you will find a way, if not you’ll find an excuse.
You don’t get it by staring, you don’t get it by wishing, you don’t get it by drooling, you don’t get it by hoping, you don’t get it easy, you get it by getting off your ass, working for it every second of every day for the rest of your life.

My boyfriend said something to me today that really tickled me! We were cycling home and I was telling him about my cycling interval training at the gym that morning and how my legs hurt! I'd been pushing through telling myself that it wasn't that I couldn't do it, it was that my legs just didn't want to, and I'd decided that that wasn't a good enough excuse to stop.

He simply said, 'Don't let a pair of legs tell you what to do!'

Replace 'pair of legs' with 'pair of arms' or 'abs' and I think I've got my new training mantra.

Also, this one (which I've seen a few times before) popped up at work the other day:

The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary.

Ooh great thread. I haven't read what others have said yet, but someone once told me (and I'm sorry I can't remember who) on herr that "you never regret the exercise you did, but you'll always regret the exercise you skipped, I try too apply this to my eating as well (modified of course) another one that I love from my horsemanship that I aim to apply in my life in general is "Good, better, best, never let it rest, 'til your good is better and your better's best" Pat Parelli have more but headed to wait until I get home and dig out my "motivation folder" think it's long overdue to be dug out anyway

I like that too Jade.

I also really like Nike's "just do it" - simple and to the point!

Better yet, I don't need motivation for my exercise any more. I do it because I love it.

Don't Quit

When you've eaten too much and you can't write it down,
And you feel like the biggest failure in town.
When you want to give up just because you gave in,
and forget all about being healthy and thin.
So What! You went over your calories a bit,
It's your next move that counts...So don't you quit!
It's a moment of truth, it's an attitude change.
It's learning the skills to get back in your range.
It's telling yourself, "You've done great up till now.
You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow."
It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal.
You're still gonna make it, just stay in control.
To stumble and fall is not a disgrace,
If you summon the will to get back in the race.
But, often the struggler's, when loosing their grip,
Just throw in the towel and continue to slip.
And learn too late when the damage is done,
that the race wasn't over...they still could have won.
Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow,
but facing each challenge will help you grow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
the silver tint in a cloud of doubt.
When you're pushing to the brink, just refuse to submit,
If you bite it, you write it....But don't you quit!

Great thread!

I think this one is funny "don't reward yourself with food, you're not a dog" :P another funny one "Dear extra fat in my body, you have to options: Make your way to my boobs or gtfo"

Lots on pinterest:
- don't be upset by the results you didn't get with the work you didn't do
- yesterday you said tomorrow
- 1 hour workout is 4% of your day, no excuses!

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others".
