Some of my favorite quotes:
..."Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying '"I will try again tomorrow" - Mary Anne Radmacher... Hi Dianne, that quote is one of my favourites too. (JOY)

"We have no right to ask when sorrow comes, "Why did this happen to me? unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way." Author Unknown... Hi Monica, it's a pity that this quote has an unknown author. It�s so true that people generally interrogate themselves when things go wrong and very rarely when things go right. (JOY)

So true. I believe the motivation comes from our ability to activate and carry out our goals based upon the words we choose to speak. With that in mind, no matter how profound the quote, until we activate the change within us, the words are powerless.

You must be willing to go beyond the quote and take action : ) My best friend told me about a book called Beyond Positive Thinking that I'm dying to read!

I posted that in a different way a few weeks ago "I wanted the whole world or nothing." Charles Bukowski and even though I think it's motivating to think that way sometimes I don't think it's a good attitude in general. The all or nothing mentality is the perfectionists mantra and it rarely gets you anywhere.
"That's the key to having it all: stop expecting it to look like what you thought it was going to look like. Cindy Chupack, Sex and the City, Plus One Is The Loneliest Number, 2002

You can read mountains of books but nothing will change in your life until you actually take some action, no matter how small. Let us know what you think of �Beyond Positive Thinking� once you�ve read it. (JOY)

I just remembered two other all or nothing quotes that I thought were kind of funny.
"Give me liberty or give me death!" Patrick Henry
"California or Bust" (not sure who said this first)
Those first two can get you fired up but this one is more practical "The main dangers in this life are the people who want to change everything - or nothing." Nancy Witcher Astor, Viscountess
