Re: Anyone got any Inspirational Quotes?

lol. I have a book called "Pocket Positives for Inspiration - An anthology of quotations'... my mum bought it for me.


And since i'm bored, i will attempt to post up the particularly good quotes... this is gonna take a while...

"I am only one, but i am still one. I cannot do everything, but i can still do something. I will not refuse to do the something i can do" - Helen Keller

"My will shall shape my future. Whether i fail or succeed will be no man's doing but my own. I am the force. I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice, my responsibility. Win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny" - Elaine Maxwell

"All things are possible until they are proved impossble - even the impossible may only be so as of now" - Pearl S. Buck

"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence." - Helen Keller

"Optimists are the elixir of life. They constantly remind the pessimists that life isn't as hopeless as they think. They are the extra ingredient that makes life bubble" - Sarah Henderson

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall" - Confucius

"Don't let the best you have done so far be the standard for the rest of your life" - Gustavus S. Swift

"To achieve great things, we must live as though we were never going to die" - Luc De Clapiers

"Learning should be a joy and full of excitement. It is life's greatest adventure; it is an illustrated excursion into the minds of noble and learned men, not a conducted tour through jail" - Taylor Caldwell

"The roots of education are bitter, but the fruits are sweet" - Aristotle

"The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power" - Mary Pickford

"Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. We all live in suspense, from day to day, from hour to hour; in other words, we are the hero of our own story" - Mary McArthy

"It is always darkest just before the day dawneth" - Thomas Fuller

"Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high, look it squarely in the eye and say 'I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me'. Then repeat to yourself the most comforting words of all, 'This too will pass'" - Ann Landers

Oh, the Places You'll Go!

Congratulations!Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!You're off and away!
You have brains in your head.You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.
You'll look up and down streets.
Look 'em over with care.
About some you will say, "I don't choose to go there."
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,
you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.
And you may not find any you'll want to go down.
In that case, of course, you'll head straight out of town.

It's opener there
in the wide open air.

Out there things can happen, and frequently do,
to people as brainy and footsy as you.
And when things start to happen,don't worry. Don't stew.
Just go right along.
You'll start happening too.

OH! THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!

You'll be on your way up! You'll be seeing great sights!
You'll join the high fliers who soar to high heights.
You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed.
You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you'll be the best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.

Except when you don' t
Because, sometimes, you won't.
I'm sorry to say so but, sadly, it's true
that Hang-ups and bang-ups can happen to you.
You can get all hung up in a prickly perch.
And your gang will fly on.
You'll be left in a Lurch.
You'll come down from the Lurch with an unpleasant bump.
And the chances are, then,that you'll be in a Slump.
And when you're in a Slump,you're not in for much fun.
Un-slumping yourself is not easily done.

You will come to a place where the streets are not marked.
Some windows are lighted.
But mostly they're darked.
A place you could sprain both you elbow and chin!
Do you dare to stay out?
Do you dare to go in?
How much can you lose?
How much can you win?

And IF you go in, should you turn left or right...or right-and-three-quarters?
Or, maybe, not quite?
Or go around back and sneak in from behind?
Simple it's not, I'm afraid you will find,
for a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind.
You can get so confused that you'll start in to race
down long crooked roads at a break-necking pace
and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,
headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.

The Waiting Place......
for people just waiting.
Waiting for a train to go or a bus to come,
or a plane to go or the mail to come,
or the rain to go or the phone to ring,
or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a Yes or a No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.
Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night
or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil,
or a Better Break
or a sting of pearls,
or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls,
or Another Chance.
Everyone is just waiting.

NO!That's not for you!
Somehow you'll escape all that waiting and staying.
You'll find the bright places where Boom Bands are playing.
With banner flip-flapping, once more you'll ride high!
Ready for anything under the sky.
Ready because you're that kind of a guy!
Oh, the places you'll go! There is fun to be done!
There are points to be scored. there are games to be won.
And the magical things you can do with that ball
will make you the winning-est winner of all.
Fame! You'll be famous as famous can be,
with the whole wide world watching you win on TV.

Except when they don't.
Because, sometimes, they won't.
I'm afraid that sometimes you'll play lonely games too.
Games you can't win 'cause you'll play against you.
All Alone!Whether you like it or not,
Alone will be something you'll be quite a lot.
And when you're alone, there's a very good chance
you'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants.
There are some, down the road between hither and yon,
that can scare you so much you won't want to go on.
But on you will go though the weather be foul
On you will go though your enemies prowl
On you will go though the Hakken-Kraks howl
Onward up many a frightening creek,
though your arms may get sore and your sneakers may leak.
On and on you will hike and I know you'll hike far
and face up to your problems whatever they are.

You'll get mixed up, of course, as you already know.
You'll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go.
So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact
and remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act.
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.
And will you succeed?Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and 3 / 4 percent guaranteed.)
KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!

So...be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray
or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,
you're off to Great Places!Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.So...get on your way!

Re: Anyone got any Inspirational Quotes?

"No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care" - it's not rather inspirational, but it is for others in many ways other than academic wise.

"1% talent, 99% hard work"
