Hi Team,
It's not that often that I start threads but thought I'd kick one off. Don't know where the mods will move this to but I'll leave it up to them. For a few years now I've collected quotes from people famous and not-so-famous. Some of them inspire me, some motivate me & some just get me thinking about what is really important to me. I'll kick off with a few of my favourites & would love for forumites to please add any of yours. I know many of you have absolute classics in your sign-off messages (READ: Jamie) so feel free to add to this.
1. Its amazing what can be accomplished when no-one cares who gets the credit.
2. Ambition is enthusiasm with a purpose.
3. Think big, act big, dream big, believe big and the results will be big.
4. There are no impossible dreams, only our limited perception of what is possible.
5. Never beg for that which you have the power to earn.
6. Winners make it happen, losers let it happen.
7. If you do what you always did, you'll get what you always got.
8. Accomplishment & success are often the result of commitment & perseverance rather than skill & talent.
9. Once the game is over, the king & the pawn go back in the same box.
10. Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.
11. Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.
... and my three favourites
12. Those who try to do something & fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing & succeed.
13. The highest reward for a persons toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it.
14. Bite off more than you can chew & chew like hell.
