Twigs Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Here are some of my most inspirational quotes. Hope you will some of them. Choose the behavior, choose the consequence. Even if your choices are limited to Pestilence, Famine, or Death, it is always possible to make a wise decision. You will receive a body. You may like it or dislike it, but it will be yours for as long as you live. How you take care of it or fail to take care of it can make an enormous difference in the quality of your life. … there are always 2 choices … 2 paths to take. One is easy & its only reward is that it is easy. Make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again. Try not. Do or do not. There is no try. No guts, no glory. We are a product of our choices. Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Character is the ability to carry out a worthy decision after the emotion of making that decision has passed. If you haven’t got the time to do it right, when will you find the time to do it over? Well begun is half done. You cannot serve larger ideals by compromising smaller ones. You don’t have to see the top of the stairs to take the 1st step. Don’t be late. Tardiness is mental slovenliness and is inappropriate for a Starfleet officer. Every day is another chance to get it right. Next time you feel like complaining, remember your garbage disposal eats better than 30% of the people in this world. no blaming, no complaining, no excuses Whenever you feel like criticizing any one...just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.

duckens Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I keep a Word file. My list: "Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom" Ignorance more frequently begets confidence, than it does knowledge. –Charles Darwin Perfect Practice and Preparation Prevent Poor Performance. May you live in harmony with exactly who you are and may your creativity and talents light up the world with love and peace. "Education is not filling a bucket but lighting a fire." William Butler Yeats "Tell me and I'll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I'll understand. " ~Native American Proverb~ Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor each morning, the devil says, “Oh, crap, she’s up!†Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But everyone is not entitled to their own facts. – Patrick Moynihan Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments. A lie is a lie even if everyone believes it. The truth is the truth even if no one believes it. Remember the tar baby; you are attached to what you attack. Do unto others 20% better than you’d expect them to do unto you to correct for subjective error. –Linus Pauling Procrastination is the natural assassin of opportunity. The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking spaces. Motivation, Dedication, and Teamwork are weapons against life’s challenges. – Armando Morales Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard. It is easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled. – Mark Twain The Seven Deadly Sins: Wealth without work. Pleasure without conscience. Knowledge without character. Commerce without morality. Science without humanity. Worship without sacrifice. Politics without principle. –Mahatma Gandhi The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away. There’s nothing like work to help get over disappointment. Working up to your potential should involve work. The person who risks nothing does nothing; has nothing. Everything will be all right in the end. And if it’s not all right, then it’s not the end. "You may have tangible wealth untold; Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold. Richer than I you can never be - I had a mother who read to me." --From Strickland Gillilian poem Repetition is the mother of retention.

Piper Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 As a person who too easily falls into the "Just-get-it-done-already" trap, this one is a favorite of mine: The purpose of the task is to strengthen the relationship. I also like Character is what you do when no one else is watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houseofkids&pets Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Since my dd is now 13 and peer relationships are becoming more of an influence, I say this quote to her quite often: "What is popular is not always right; what is right is not always popular." I also like this from Dr. Seuss: "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
