How ironic that he never did then.

I have no quotes because as soon as l like them; i've outgrown them.

Winners never quit and quitters never win.

Doesn't apply most of the time but I live by it.

Surprised I didn't see this one yet:

I love this one b/c it declares that you should take action vs. waiting for someone else.

You don't need eyes to see, you need vision.

My favorite life-changing quote is in my signature.

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." - Thoreau

I have a few that I was going to put down, but I thought I would go for two that I actually use- for real.

'Every problem has a solution'. It really does. Sometimes we don't (can't?) think of the solution, sometimes we're not prepared to do what it takes. But the solution is there.

'What is is more important than what should be. If you ever learn critical thinking (heavy going, but worth it), you can see how true it is... and how few people actually apply it.

Loads of good quotes. Will have to look more into quotes.

"Distinguish between those who understand and those who agree.
He who understands the Teaching will not tarry in applying it to life;
He who agrees will nod and extol the Teaching as remarkable wisdom,
but will not apply this wisdom to his life.
There are many who have agreed, but they are like a withered forest,
fruitless and without shade. Only decay awaits them.
Those who understand are few, but like a sponge they absorb the precious knowledge and are ready to cleanse the horrors of the world with the precious liquid"
