Quote to Share:
Not sure who to give credit…
“Only two things in life are universal.” – Love N’Dancing
Also enjoyed it thanks! Inspiring!
You fail at 100% of things you do not try.
A couple more quotes that I love:
“Change is inevitable, growth is optional”
Walt Disney
“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the more intelligent, but rather the most responsive to change”
Charles Darwin
Here is something to think about:
“Change the way you look at things and the things you look at will change.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
I have found this statement to be very true in many ways in my life.
Here’s a powerful one I love -
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself, any direction you choose”. – Dr. Seuss
Doug, Donna, Rica, Rex, Julié, Jim, Sujit, thank you all for your
wonderful words and sharing your inspiration! You are the best. A warm summer holiday greeting from me from Greece (Kos) for all of you!
I love this one:
“Be the change you want to see in the world.” – Mahatma Ghandi
Thanks for the inspiring quotes – here are 2 I love:

“what could you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?”

Some great and motivating quotes. Here are couple of my favourites:
“Dream like you’ll live for ever. Live like you’ll die today.” Anon
“Argue for your limitations and sure enough they’re yours.” Richard Bach -
‘Illusions’
And one that’s less inspirational but pragmatic and useful:
“Never attribute to malevolence what is merely due to incompetence”.
Arthur C Clark ‘3001, The Final Odyssey’
I have a quote I really love
“it is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but rather the one most responsive to change” Charles Darwin.
Love this thread!
Some of my favorites…
Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes. — Goethe
Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one’s thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world. — Goethe
You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him discover it in himself. — Galileo
“Just do it!” – Nike
Too bad it has been made to such an inert clichè.
Read the quotes above again and you will see how many of them will fit in this one. I feel that when we read too many of these poetic sounding quotes we tend to forget about them. This one however is easy to remember and to apply in daily life!
Another thing I like so much about it is that unlike many other quotes it doesn’t make it seem that by following it everything in life will be wonderful and exciting. Life is simply not like that. For that matter I also love the following one
“reality keeps ruining my life” – calvin & hobbes
