Zee Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 That makes me want to go out and do all the things! Will share with others.Yup.As a side effect, I find if I can't do any of the things shown (that I am actually in to), I find I get seriously motivated to work out instead. Win win... Z...

Polaris Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I once read this in one of the NF articles, I can't even remember which one - "You are not your past, you are your future." - and I was like, why has nobody ever said that to me before?! That's seriously the one thing I've needed to hear for a better part of my life now, but nobody's ever put it in such simple words before. That applies to so much more for me than just fitness. I really needed to hear that.

TheSwede Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I am SHOCKED that i had to read all the way to page 11 of this thread before i encountered a Vince Lombardi quote ! Some of my favorites: "Once you learn to quite it becomes a habit" "Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect." "The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor." "The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will." "The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have." "The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary." "The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender." "The Green Bay Packers never lost; they just ran out of time" "We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible." "Fatigue makes cowards of us all." "The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender." (and yes, i'm a hardcore Packers fan) 1 Quote Link to comment
Jittersthe.Clown Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 One that helps me more now that I've become a member of the Rebellion:"Remember, I'm pulling for ya. We're all in this together" - Red Green (Steve Smith) So, it seems kind of silly, but thinking about it, it hits home more and more every day. Not only here on the boards and the Nerds at large, but as the human population. What good we do for strangers and for our neighbors can have long and lasting effects for the betterment of mankind. 1 Quote Level 2 Warforged Druid STR: 2, DEX: 1, STA: 3, CON: 3, WIS: 2, CHA: 3 "If these people tell this story to their children as they sleep; then maybe someday they'll see a hero is just a man who knows he is free."

cobaltflash Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 hmm my current favorite motivational quote would be "I've got poetry in my fingertips. Most of the time-and this includes naps-I'm an F-18, bro. And I will destroy you in the air. I will deploy my ordnance to the ground." Charlie Sheen i know Charlie Sheen is a bit of a crazy douche but honestly thats why i love him he taught me to be myself and just have fun regardless of what the world around you thinks of you. He is my personal hero. Quote Level 5 Idiot Assassin STR: 22 DEX: 11 STA: 14 CON: 10 WIS: 0 CHA: 14 Link to comment

LessJos Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Great quotes! I have a few to share: "An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion." - Newton "I'm a Great Believer in Luck and I Find the Harder I Work, the More I Have of It." - Thomas Jefferson some I found on Tumblr regarding fitness but don't know who said it: "When you have one of those days when you feel a big weight on your shoulders - do squats." "Go the extra mile, it's never crowded" "Excuses are useless - Results are priceless" "Be your own hero" "A workout is a personal triumph over laziness and procrastination" "Better sore than sorry" "At first you feel like dying. Then you feel like reborn" and one I just pick up on mobilitywod.com: "Seriously, the point is to try and find opportunities in your day to day life where you can sneek this mobility crap in. I like to think about it as: Paim makes you beautiful." - Kelly Starrett Quote pre-AssassinClear eyes, full heart, can't lose!Twitter Link to comment
