Quotes that motivate, encourage, and inspire you.
 

Hola mis amigas. :)
I decided to start a thread for quotes that inspire us. Alot of you have some in your signatures, but if you know more, you can post them here.

:cool::cool::cool:

Jim Ryun, "Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going."
and my latest signature by Winston Churchill. I also like the funny one of Orson Wells saying his doctor told him to lose weight he had to quit eating intimate dinners for 4 -- unless there were 3 other people present at the table. :D

"The first and best victory is to conquer self" -Plato

I just put this quote on my fridge.

Not so much inspirational but really make you think.
 

Great idea. I have a pretty extensive collection of quotes. A couple of quotes that I like which are geared towards dieting and losing weight are:

Don't dig your grave with your own knife and fork. ~English Proverb

It isn't the weight that you lose... it is the weight you keep off that is important. ~ Author Unknown

"I now look for my excitement in my life, rather than in my mouth." –dreamerdee

More die in the United States of too much food than of too little. ~John Kenneth Galbraith, The Affluent Society

People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown

Now a few of my favorite inspirational quotes.
 

"Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway."

"Don't give up what you want the most, for what you want at the moment"

"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves." William Shakespeare

"You've got to get up every morning with determination if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction"

Yesterday is history…Tomorrow is a mystery…Today is gift… that must be why the call it the present!

"The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin living it." -W. M. Lewis

What a perfect idea for a thread, thank you for making this! I love some of the quotes posted so far, and I might use them around my house - hings like that really help to keep me motivated. :)

Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live. - Jim Rohn

I'm going to have to get back to you on quotes, but I absolutely love this thread idea and am going to copy down some of your quotes. They're great!:D

Just saw this one on a different board and thought I would share.

This is a little late, but I just found this thread and I like it. I don't know who said these.

* The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago.... the second best time is today.

* Every journey begins with but a single step.

*True happiness is not having everything you want....but wanting everything you have.

Not particularly profound, but some days I need to tell myself...
 

"Pull up your big girl panties and deal with it!"

(The one that motivates me is in my sig).

Just came across a bunch of quotes I compiled a while back. Of course, I didn't take the time to write down who said them, so just know that none of them are mine... =)

"It doesn't matter how slowly you go, as long as you don't stop."

"Don't give up 5 minutes before the miracle."

"Sacrifice is giving up something good for something better."

"Some people dream of success. Others wake up and work hard at it."

"Sometimes there is no next time, no second chance, no time out. Sometimes it's now or never."

"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal."

"Can't is a word you use when you don't want to."

"Improvements are made over time, not overnight."

"Start by doing the necessary, then the possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible."

"Determination today leads to success tomorrow."

"There are only two ways to fail at anything that you do: Quit or don't start."

"If you're driving down the road and get a flat tire, do you fix it by slashing the other three?"

"Set small and realistic goals. 5 minutes of something good is better than 5 minutes of something bad, and better than nothing at all. Give yourself credit for even the smallest successes. It's not about starting over Monday. It's about starting over now. And it's not about being perfect or imperfect, bad or good. It's about doing your best."

"Since every failure is a lesson, every challenge an opportunity, and every joy a triumph, it's hard to go wrong."

Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.
