Stanford Commencement address delivered by Steve Jobs
It was not my intention to reply to @HFer_wannabe
"Don't just look at it. Eat it." -Bateman
"Regardless of one's natural abilities, without hard work, he is destined for mediocrity"- or something like that-- Andrew Carnegie.
"I am soft, I'm lovable, but what I really want to do is reach in, rip out their heart and eat it before they die." -- self
"I look into their eyes, shake their hand, pat their back, and wish them luck, but I am thinking, I am going to bury you"- Seve Ballesteros.
If I don't end up on top, let me run the bottom
Every day is a fishing day, but not every day is a catching day. (Jamaican proverb)
You've got to kick at the darkness until it bleeds daylight. - Bruce Cockburn
“For those of us climbing to the top of the food chain, there can be no mercy. There is but one rule: hunt or be hunted.” - Frank Underwood
"I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed" - Michael Jordan

Grammar police: it's "quotation" not "quote"
'Aim high, or you'll end up pissing on your shoes'
LOL.
Who said that?
"It is our choices, not our attributes, what determines who we are"
Quotes do nothing for me. Cleverly constructed sentences probably get me going for about 2 minutes hence I save them for sex.
But in all honesty, I have two pictures in my wallet that I look at everyday since I have to dip into my wallet once or twice. The first is of my mother and the second is my that of my siblings. Two things that remind me of what got me here and what I'm working for.
"Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little coarse, and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice? Up, again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"And may the odds be ever in your favour" - the hunger games
"Live free or die: death is not the worst of evils" - John Stark
"Do or do not. There is no try. "
fake it till you make it.
"It's not about the size of the dog in the fight, it's about the size of the fight in the dog."
"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."
"It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up."
Both Vince Lombardi
I'm using the first one from now on.
"I'm lovin' it" - Ronald McDonald
FBGM
"I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion'" - The Greatest
"It's only wrong if you get caught"
It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.
anyone post this one yet? "When you want success as bad as you want to breathe, then that is when you'll be successful" -
great video Andy, watched this several times, always makes me get hyped
"Play with the small hurts." - Lombardi
"Live bravely" - Outside Magazine
"Follow your Folly" - New Belgium Brewery
As I sit 5,000 miles away from home..
"Ships are safest in harbor, but that's not what ships are for" - some guy
Multiple quotes from Napoleon Hill:
"Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure"
"Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit"
"Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit"
"You can start right where you stand and apply the habit of going the extra mile by rendering more service and better service than you are now being paid for. The man who does more than he is paid for will soon be paid for more than he does"
One of my favorite commencement speeches: And J.K. Rowling doesn't even mention how many publishers she brought Harry Potter to before it finally was accepted.
