I have used so many quotes throughout my blog over the last couple years, I thought that while I was doing clean-up on the blog that I would create a page to list the ones that I have used to one location so that they can be enjoyed over and over. They all mean the world to me.
"If you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don't. If you'd like to win, but think you can't, It's almost a cinch you won't. If you think you'll lose, you're lost. For out in the world we find success begins with a fellow's will; It's all in the state of mind. If you think you're outclassed, you are; You've got to think high to rise. You've got to be sure of yourself before you can ever win a prize. Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man; But soon or later the man who wins is the one who thinks he can."
~ Walter D. Wintle
"People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking they can do things. When they believe in themselves, they have the first secret of success."
Norman Vincent Peale
THE POSITIVE THINKER SEES THE INVISIBLE, FEELS THE INTANGIBLE, AND ACHIEVES THE IMPOSSIBLE.

ACCEPT THE CHALLENGES SO YOU MAY FEEL THE EXHILIRATION OF VICTORY.
~ GENERAL GEORGE S. PATTON
You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must PLAN to win, PREPARE to win, and EXPECT to win. ~ Zig Ziglar
The tragedy in
life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.
~ Benjamin Mays
Are you cross? Change your thoughts. Are you tired of trying? Change your thoughts. Are you craving for things that you are not to have? Change your thoughts; there is a power within you, your own Will, which will enable you to turn your attention from thoughts that make you unhappy and wrong to the thoughts that make you happy and right.
~Charlotte Mason
IT'S NOT WHERE YOU'RE FROM; IT'S WHERE YOU'RE GOING. IT'S NOT WHAT YOU DRIVE; IT'S WHAT DRIVES YOU. IT'S NOT WHAT'S ON YOU; IT'S WHAT'S IN YOU. IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK; IT'S WHAT YOU KNOW.
~ GATORADE COMMERCIAL
Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.

'Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house,
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste,
At the holiday parties had gone to my waist.
When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).
I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared,
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared.
The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese,
And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."
As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt,
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt.
I said to myself, as I only can,
"You can't spend a winter disguised as a man!"
So--away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip.
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished,
'Till all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won't have a cookie--not even a lick,
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.
I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie,
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.
I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore,
But isn't that what January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot,
Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!
Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
~ Vince Lombardi
"Desire is the key to motovation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek."
~ Mario Andretti
