I really like the quote from Star Wars Master Yoda. Do or do not, there is no try. For me, it really means to give it all you got. like there is no giving up or defeat. I have heard a lot of good motivational quotes. It is really hard to pick a favorite.

A tree you pass by every day is just a tree. If you are to closely examine what a tree has and the life a tree has, even the smallest thing can withstand a curiosity, and you can examine whole worlds.

“Life Is An Endless Series Of Trainwrecks With Only Brief Commercial-Like Breaks Of Happiness.”

~Wade Wilson

my motto since 2007 has been

"money can't buy you love, but money can buy stuff and I LOVE STUFF!"

"The man cant do the things today cant do the things tomorrow"

" The early bird catches the early worm "

i like these two personally. 

“The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.”

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” —Calvin Coolidge

May have posted this before but here it goes.

Your attitude, and not your aptitude, determines your altitude. 

Not a single one of us is as good as all of us.

You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

Marcus Aurelius

"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six 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
 

This is one I think I can take credit for. Kinda came up with this one day when I was going through some shit it's:

"Ignorance without knowledge shows lack of character" meaning if you're gonna be ignorant towards something or someones beliefs whatever it may be but you dont have the knowledge, you never done the research to back your argument, then your moral character must lack as well.

Example: "oh I dont like trump" "why?" "well i just dont like him" -_- you're an idiot who brings no value to the situations  

do unto others as they do to you, closed mouths don't get fed, Karma's a fact not an act. 

Pain is temperary, honour is forever.

I was on page 4 of 90 on Good Reads and realized I'm too tired to be edgy. 

“Reminds me of something my grandfather would say. He'd say, "I'm goin' upstairs to fuck your grandmother." He was an honest man, and he wasn't going to bullshit a four-year-old.”
