This is techincally not a saying nor a quote but actually from an Addias print commercial, however, I really am drawn to this statement. It sits on my desk next to a lovely photo of a new SLK350 Mercedes.

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in a world they've been given than to explore the power that they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. Its an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. Its a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary.

this quote is awesome! i love it!

Just came across this in an email. Failure can be seen and feedback or stepping stones, but the message I just got from this was more of an "aha moment" for me at least than any other definition....especially the bit about staying down.



"You may have a fresh start any moment you
choose, for this thing that we call 'failure'
is not the falling down, but the staying down."

-- Mary Pickford

I just got back from a funernal for a very outgoing man who died too young. He had many, many quotes. The one the family and friends chose to show at the end of the service was:

"I don't mind burning the candle at both ends, but it's a bugger when it burns in the middle too"
