I found his quote today while I was trolling through some stuff - really thought it was appropriate:

If you have made mistakes, even serious mistakes, you may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down.
Mary Pickford

Doesn't matter if you slip and fall - it only matters if you stay that way.

Kind regards

Well put. If you have a slip get right back on the horse. No sense staying down.

[TonyR]

well said for both of you!! It's like riding a horse, if you fall off then you need to get back on again. If you fail in the afternoon, don't wait until the next day to get back on plan, do it right away because the longer you wait, the harder it will be to get back on!!

Wise words. Thanks Gavin sometimes you need to be reminded.

Thanks Gavin!
Here's another one, though I don't know who said it ...

“You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.”

One of my favorites --

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

Who was Hanna More? According to Wikipedia, and 18th century English religious writer.

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

Hey - how about a forum for "Inspirational quotes" - we all need new ones now and then

My Gramma always says, "it's now hard hard you fall, it's how fast you get back up." That's stuck with me and I try to live it now!
