I am going through physical therapy for my shoulder and I have received a bunch from family and friends. Here are some of them (I know some are cheesy, but w/e):


"Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have."
-Norman Vincent Peale

We first must think "I can," then behave appropriately along that line of thought.
- Marsha Sinetar

"Every man is the architect of his own fortune."
-Sallus

"I'm a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it."
-Thomas Jefferson

"We do not quit playing because we grow old, we grow old because we quit playing."
-Oliver Wendell Holmes

"What you see depends on what you're looking for."
-Anon
My favorite right now:

"It's all about character. Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. watch your character; it becomes your destiny."
-Frank Outlaw
I hope you like them.

"what good did your moderation do you? If you do not kill the beast, it will kill you".
               -Thaddeus Stevens

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty

If you are going through hell, keep going-winston churchill

We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.

Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth lasts for a thousand years, men will still say, “This was their finest hour!” -Winston Churchill before the Battle of Britain.

First say to yourself what you would be;
and then do what you have to do


They can because they think they can.-virgil

This one from the movie the kingdom, its when the fbi director is talking to the attorney general, who threatens to end his career.

"You know, Westmoreland made all of us officers write our own obituaries during Tet, when we thought The Cong were gonna end it all right there. And, once we clued into the fact that life is finite, the thought of losing it didn't scare us anymore. The end comes no matter what, the only thing that matters is how do you wanna go out, on your feet or on your knees? I bring that lesson to this job. I act, knowing that someday this job will end, no matter what. You should do the same."



also, this gem by josh bibby.

"Impossible is nothing. Impossible is just a big word used by small people who find it easier to live in the world they are given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a Declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing."

A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.
Francis Bacon

Failure is not the falling down but the staying down.
