Hi guys,

I thought of starting a thread where everyone can put up their favourite quotes in one place - there is nothing like a dose of 'Won't Power' food for the inner man!

Perhaps Unca could make this a sticky so it is accessible for everyone???

Here are some of mine favourites to start - and I have stolen some of these from the board - jus ones that have caught my eye

:

Discipline is the art of choosing between what you want now, and what you want the most

Results can be typical.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take - but by the moments that take our breath away.

Live your life as if you were reading about yourself in a history book.

When the desire comes from within you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

There are 2 G’s in life that destroy- Greed and Guilt

"The chains of habit are generally too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken"

U my dear are simply toooooo funny - Just remember I am only a short flight away from you - I'll have to come over to HKG and speak soundly with you!!

I'm trying to think when this motivational quotemay be used to edify or lift me up over ones of life's little conundrums??

How's this then:

It's just another sheet of newspaper in the great birdcage of life

btw - hope DH hasn't run his legs off in the HKG marathon

One of my favorites --

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal. Hannah More

Who was Hannah More? According to Wikipedia, an 18th century English religious writer.

Found that one a few years ago and have alway liked it.

placed this in the other thread, glad someone took up my suggestion to have a place for good quotes

We do have a couple motivation quote threads already around here somewhere. Good idea to get one stickied.

I'll move this over to the elevator thread.
