I have always found it encouraging and inspiring to hear different quotes!

Share something with others!

"Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you!"

Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds. The latter can not understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence. -Albert Einstein

Go thy way and as thou believed it shall be unto thee.

We work day after day, not to finish things, but to
make the future better ... because we will spend the
rest of our lives there. -- Charles F. Kettering.

"When you're through changing, you're through"
by John C. Maxwell

"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;

and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.

When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.

3 For I am the LORD, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;

Isaiah 43:1-3

'It is never to late to become what you might have been'

The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.

One of my favorite quotes. It keeps me centered and focused.

To know how to do a job is the accomplishment of labor;
To be available to tell ohers is the accomplishment of the teacher;

To inspire others to do better work is the accomplishment of management;
To be able to do all three is the accomplishment of true leaders.

My favorite quote of all time is from the old movie Auntie Mame:

"Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death."

I think this says a lot. I try to live by it.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take but by the moments that take your breath away.

"Everything worth doing is worth doing even poorly!"
Keith Cunningham

"People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt the people who are doing it"

Got this off a forum a few years ago, printed it out and stuck it on my computer. Don't know who said it .... I've seen it attributed to George Bernard Shaw and Chinese proverb - take your pick :).

I guess this one is my favourite at the moment: No news- Good news! I have a lot of things to do these days that is why prefer some if this kind!

What you are going to be tomorrow, you are becoming today!

I have just always liked this one!

"People do not care how much you know...until they know how much you care!"

"Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind"

When Your Cleaning Up The House, Repeat Often, It will make the Task Less Overwhelming. :o

"Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind"

Never thought of applying that to housework :D Thanks!!!! :)

" Give a Man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and feed him for a Life time"

" Give a Man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and feed him for a Life time"

This is so much fun! I use this quote I don't know how many times a week! I didn't know you knew me so well! lol!

I think I am going to have to start my house work too so I can get it out of mind! I hadn't thought of it that way either! That's great!!!

No matter where you go .. there you are - Buckaroo Banzai

Your reputation is what others know about you ... your honor is what you know about yourself - Lois McMaster Bujold

This is so much fun! I use this quote I don't know how many times a week! I didn't know you knew me so well! lol!

I think I am going to have to start my house work too so I can get it out of mind! I hadn't thought of it that way either! That's great!!!

lol! Yeah i think this quote is so truthful!

" Give a Man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and feed him for a Life time"

Defendurself I will think of you when I use this quote!!!

My personal favorite and one thta I think fits well in the marketing and business world is as follows--------- THERE is no better than HERE, becaus once you get THERE it simply becomes another HERE it is similar to the graas isn't always greener on the other side, but this one rings true somehow.

"Be The Change You Wish To See In The World" - Mahatma Gandi

"Every man I meet is my superior in some way. In that, I learn of him." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Not sure who originally said it, I'm sure I could google and find out, but my all-time favorite is "The past is history. The future's a mystery. But the present is a gift."

"If you'll remember always there's No Goal You Can't Achieve,
If you'll try your very hardest and above all else Believe,
Believe that you're a person who has something Good to Give,
Believe that you can make this world a Better Place to Live.
If you'll believe in your talents and your skills are needed, too
Then you're sure to find there's nothing in this world you cannot do."

This was from a card given to me ages ago, could be a hallmark, not sure.
Anyway, it stuck with me up to now. And I'm glad it did! :)

What great quotes! Cessypoo, nctiffany,Lisasummes, dreer and 4hoursaweek, There is so much meaning in each of these quotes. I had never heard them! Thanks! I love how we can learn from one another! Thanks for your contributions!!!

A former co-worker had this bumper sticker so I saw it almost everyday:

"Dont believe everything you think."

I love it, because people jump to conclusions too quick without finding out the facts.

Two of my favorite quotes are:

Experience is not what happens to you; it is what you do with what happens to you."
- Aldous Huxley.

"I may not know much, but I know the difference between chicken shit and chicken salad."
- Lyndon B. Johnson

They're inspirational in their own way :)

THERE is no better than HERE, becaus once you get THERE it simply becomes another HERE it is similar to the graas isn't always greener on the other side, but this one rings true somehow.

I think that's a good quote because it's true. Even beyond marketing it's true. There's no better moment than the present.

Not sure who originally said it, I'm sure I could google and find out, but my all-time favorite is "The past is history. The future's a mystery. But the present is a gift."

Lovely quote. I'll try to remember this day by day. Or shall I say moment by moment.

"ATTITUDE- Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows."- Helen Keller.
This is my favorite quote from Helen Keller. It says too much about having positive attitude always. When you feel down in life, just remind it and you will feel good! It's the thing that I do.

What do you think of this?

A non-doer is very often a critic-that is, someone who sits back and watches doers, and then
waxes philosophically about how the doers are doing. It's easy to be a critic, but being a doer
requires effort, risk, and change. Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Those who have attained things worth having in this world have worked while others idled,
have persevered when others gave up in despair, have practiced early in life the valuable habits
of self-denial, industry, and singleness of purpose. As a result, they enjoy in later life the success
so often erroneously attributed to good luck.
Grenville Kleiser

I have a few quotes I like..

"Opportunities are never lost; someone will take the one you miss." ~Author Unknown

"There is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs." ~ Author unknown

"There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only few will catch your heart. Pursue Those" ... Unknown.


Teresa :)

I have several ~ mostly ones that set us free or make us think:

Here is one - simple but is good.

It just is what it is.

Let your past be your teacher and not your judge.

Where ever you are, be all there, if you believe it to be the will of God for your life.

and finally,


"This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me; it is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations." - George Bernard Shaw

One day the people of the world will want peace so much that the governments will have to get out of their way and give it to them.

~Dwight D. Eisenhower


Enjoying this post alot!
Diane

Faith is...taking the first step, even when you don't see the staircase!

Trust yourself, You know more than you think you do

~Dwight D. Eisenhower


Good one. I hope that day comes soon.

There are a lot of great quotes here. Here is one I read recently that I thought was good.
"Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do." ~ Aristotle

B STRONG! Do not let ANYONE get u down!!! Many people would rather be certain that they're miserable, than risk being happy!!!

"If you think Success is expensive wait until you’ve paid for failure."

"Reach your goal without stepping on others toe". I lived with this quote in mind. ;)

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the know...ledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.

Audrey Hepburn

My own quote - Dream Big or Don't Dream at All :p

"Don't Worry, Be Happy"

The quote became my favorite, I used to see it everyday in one of my high school classes:
"Reach for the moon, even if you fail... you will land among the stars"

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13

and

“Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you're right" Henry Ford

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13

and

“Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you're right" Henry Ford

Love those.

I have lots of quotes that I love but here are just a couple:

Create the life you dream of, why on earth would you waste time creating the one you don't want?

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

Failures are an asset, they teach you what you need to learn in order to have success!

If you cannot manage one dollar why on earth would you expect to be trusted with millions?

Money does not define class, character does.

I better stop..........I could go on with this forever so here is my last one.......

Life is not a journey to take lightly, it is a journey you should jump into with everything you've got because in the end, the journey was your life!

I got this from my email inbox. "Thoughts become things, so choose the good ones." This will encourage us to think positive and worry less.

My favorite quote is,

"Do or Die" by Mahatma Gandhi ji - Father of Nation:India

"I could tell you my Adventures beginning with this morning."
--from Alice in Wonderland

“You are what you think about all day long.”
Dr. Robert Schuller

“It only takes one person to change your life - you.”
Ruth Casey

“What gets measured, gets done.”
Edward Deming

“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment to improve the world.”
Anne Frank

“If you can DREAM it, you can DO it.”
Walt Disney

“You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face, and show the world all the love in your heart. Then people gonna treat you better; You're gonna find, yes, you will, that you're beautiful as you feel.”
Carole King

“You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face, and show the world all the love in your heart. Then people gonna treat you better; You're gonna find, yes, you will, that you're beautiful as you feel.”
Carole King

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall" I also like this: "Be careful on toes you stepped on. It might be connected to the a** that you'll kiss tomorrow"

If you always do what you've always done - you'll always get what you've always gotten.

Why don't they make the entire plane out of the material they make the black box out of?!?

Cheese......milk you can chew!

If it's to be - it's up to me.

Mine comes from my favorite song of all time One by U2 "One life, one love, we got to carry each other."

"Keeping everlastingly at it will ensure success" -RT Lewis

I'd rather be a failure at something I enjoy than be a success at something I hate.

Veni Vidi Vici - Julius Ceasar

*People usually fail when they are on the verge of success. So give as much care to the end as to the beginning;
Then there will be no failure.*
Lao Tzu

That is one of my favorites!

"It is never to late to be what you might have been." George Elliot

"If you have a great ambition, take as big a step as possible in the direction of fulfilling it. The step may only be a tiny one, but trust that it may be the largest one possible for now." ~Mildred Mcafee

"Some mornings, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps"

;)

"Sometimes you don't have to like it, you just have to do it."

Richard Marcinko

i really love this quotation and it is one of my perception in life;

It is not the LOAD that breaks you down it's the WAY you CARRY it...
God dont give us challenges that we cannot survive, its just a matter of doing the things to make everything all right...

My favorite quote as of late is from my husband, "Poor God."

"And the day came whe the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." Anais Nin (1903-1977).

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent~Eleanore Roosevelt

I hope I am not butchering this quote, but here it is as best as I can remember it:

It's from a scene in the movie Chariots of Fire one of the characters feels called to the mission field and is under some pressure to quit his journey to the Olympics and get on with his mission work, here is his response to someone telling him to get to China and forget this Olympic business:

"I know God called me to China, but He also made me fast, and when I run, I feel His pleasure."

I use that a lot in my classroom with my students on various occasions. And I just like it!

Sorry for the long explanation.


Melissa

Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take but by the moments that take your breath away.

I LOVE that one! :)

One of my favorite quotes is: We reap what we sow.

"Cheese makes everything better" - by Janis Bennet (me! :)) I just LOVE LOVE LOVE cheese!

Also:
"Everything always works out." I say this a lot when we are having money problems, child problems, or any stress in general.

and:
"Better late than never." -I'm late for family gatherings all the time.. I'm always 10 minuts late!

Truth is a test for experience -- Albert Eienstein

Do not allow anything to be an obstacle.See everything as a stepping stone to victory.

i believe in the saying 'try and try until you succeed!'. in life you have to do everything to get what you really wanted...you have to believe and strive harder for you to become successful...always remember that by doing your best you will always get what you deserve...

A former co-worker had this bumper sticker so I saw it almost everyday:

"Dont believe everything you think."

I love it, because people jump to conclusions too quick without finding out the facts.

I love that one! Got to add it to my list of favorites!

One of MY favorite quotes:

"The purpose of life is not to arrive safely at death." (by Alan Cohen)

Oh, the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away. 

~Dinah Craik, A Life for a Life, 1859

"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!!!!!!!" :rolleyes:

*People usually fail when they are on the verge of success. So give as much care to the end as to the beginning;
Then there will be no failure.*
Lao Tzu

That is one of my favorites!

I love this one! I'm adding it to my list :)

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
Anais Nin

My favorite quote is
The purpose of life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well preserved body, but rather, to slide in sideways, completely used up, yelling whoa, what a ride - author unknown.

I just love this one!!!
